With
a magnification–objective lens configuration favoured by professionals and
experienced amateurs around the world, Photo Express (The Photography Shop) brings you the green Hawke Optics 8 x 42
Frontier HD X Binocular delivers the performance you need when going
from the trail to the range to the stadium to sightseeing around the city.
This
binocular features phase-correcting and dielectric coatings on the BAK4 prisms,
with anti-reflection multi-coatings on the lens surfaces to round out the
optical features that work together to produce bright and clear images with
true-to-life colours and enhanced clarity without distortion or fringing. The
wide apparent angle of view presents an immersive observational experience with
the ability to take in large areas without having to move your head.
A
fast-focusing mechanism runs through the full focal range in just 1.5 turns of
the large center focusing knob, making finding subjects fast and tracking
moving targets easy. Designed to stand up to a life lived outdoors, the optical
tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to give them a waterproof rating of
IPX7 and make them fog-proof even when moving through extreme temperature
variations. The chassis is made from an magnesium alloy to make it lightweight
and corrosion resistant. Hawke includes tethered front and rear lens caps to
add an additional layer of protection in the field, with the ability to quickly
react to glassing opportunities without fear of losing the caps.
