The Vixen Artes J 10x42 is for you if…

• You need greater reach and magnification for birding, wildlife, or nature observation without sacrificing clarity, brightness, or ease of use.
• You often glass at long distances—across water, open fields, or mountainous terrain—and need optics that deliver crisp detail even with more zoom.
• You’re a glasses wearer or sunglasses user and require long eye relief for a full field of view without constant adjusting.
• You hike, travel, or explore in unpredictable weather, and need binoculars that are fog-proof, waterproof, and ready for the elements.
• You value hand comfort and often spend hours using your binoculars—whether you’re tracking movement or scanning ridgelines.
• You want precision-built optics that offer elite performance, without the inflated cost of more mainstream European brands.
• You’re upgrading from entry- or mid-tier gear and looking for true professional quality that delivers on both reach and realism.

When you’re glassing at 10x magnification, sharpness and contrast are everything. The Vixen Artes J 10x42 gives you both, with ED glass and dielectric coatings that eliminate blur, color fringing, and haze—so you see every feather, branch, or ridge line exactly as it is.

Behind the lens is craftsmanship you can trust. Each unit is hand-aligned in Japan with painstaking attention to detail. That precision pays off when you’re working the edges of the field of view or relying on sharpness at full zoom.

Comfort isn’t an afterthought, either. With long 19mm eye relief, twist-up eyecups, and an open-bridge grip, these binoculars stay comfortable in your hands and easy on your eyes—even through long sessions in the hide or along the trail.

Whether you’re chasing far-off birds, scanning hillsides, or simply demanding more detail from your optics, the Artes J 10x42 brings power and precision together in one beautifully balanced package.

And for those low-light hours at dawn or dusk, you’ll still benefit from a bright 4.2 mm exit pupil and a brightness value of 17.6—more than enough for most natural light conditions. Plus, the 3-meter close focus lets you lock in on nearby wildlife with ease, while the adjustable 56–75 mm interpupillary range ensures a comfortable, custom fit for any user.

With a wide 60° apparent field of view, the Artes J 10x42 keeps your sight picture immersive—even at higher magnification. The smooth center focus wheel allows for fast, intuitive adjustments, helping you stay locked on the moment without distraction.
