Frequently asked questions

8x42 or 10x42, which should I pick?
Choose 10x42 for extra reach on distant subjects, or 8x42 for a wider, steadier view. Both are bright, versatile sizes.

Are they good for astronomy?
Yes, the 42mm lenses show the Moon and star clusters well; a larger pair gathers even more light.

Suitable for glasses wearers?
Eye relief is on the shorter side at 12.5mm, so eyeglass wearers may see a slightly reduced field.

Are they waterproof?
Yes, sealed against rain and moisture.
