Athlon Optics Argos G2 UHD 8x42 Binoculars

Color fringing shows up around high-contrast edges (a bird silhouetted against the sky, branches against a bright background), and extra-low-dispersion glass gives an image with little or no chromatic fringe. The Athlon Argos G2 UHD 8x42 combines extra-low-dispersion glass and ESP dielectric-coated BAK-4 prisms in an 8x42 format built for birders and outdoor observers who want clean, color-true views.

Key Features

• Extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass with advanced fully multi-coated lenses reduces chromatic aberration for cleaner edges
• ESP dielectric coating on phase-corrected BAK-4 roof prisms reflects over 99% of light through the prism assembly, delivering brightness and color fidelity
• 8x magnification with a 42mm objective produces a 5.3mm exit pupil. The 371-foot field of view at 1,000 yards is the widest in the Argos G2 UHD lineup
• Magnesium chassis at 25.5 ounces — with a natural, comfortable one-handed grip. Argon purged and fully waterproof
• 17.3mm eye relief with twist-up eyecups — the most generous in the Argos G2 UHD line, delivering a full, comfortable field of view for glasses wearers. Wide 56-76mm IPD range

Ideal For

Birders who want ED glass and ESP dielectric in an 8x format.

Nature observers looking for a versatile, lightweight optic. The 8x magnification forgives hand shake better than 10x, and the wider field makes finding subjects faster.

Stepping up? The Midas G2 UHD 8x42 adds a wider field of view (426 ft vs 371 ft), much closer focus (6.5 ft vs 13 ft), and lighter weight (23.3 oz).
