• 8.1° Field of View (426 ft at 1000 yards) – The widest view in the series — ideal for tracking birds in flight, scanning landscapes, or following wildlife without losing sight.

The Midas G2 UHD 8x42 is for you if…

• You want the widest possible field of view for birding, nature walks, or scanning open terrain — without sacrificing image sharpness or brightness.
• You often observe wildlife or plants at close range and need glass that performs just as well at 6 feet as it does at 600.
• You wear glasses and struggle to find optics that deliver a full field of view — the generous 17.2mm eye relief makes these an easy fit.
• You want top-tier performance in a lightweight package — with no interest in dragging around heavy gear or bulky setups.
• You’re looking for an all-purpose powerhouse — a single binocular that handles birding, hiking, travel, and casual hunting with equal confidence.

Whether you're tracking songbirds through dense trees, observing butterflies at your backyard feeder, or scanning a ridgeline for movement, the Midas G2 UHD 8x42 delivers a wide, bright, immersive view — without eye fatigue or excess weight.

Weighing just 23.3 oz, it’s built on the same rugged magnesium chassis as other Midas G2 models, but its lighter feel and compact balance make it ideal for long days in the field or spontaneous wildlife encounters. It’s waterproof, fog-proof, and tough enough for real adventure — not just the range.

Optically, the 8x42 is unmatched in its class. UHD glass, ESP dielectric coatings, and phase-corrected BaK-4 prisms come together to produce brilliant image clarity, color accuracy, and depth — with a viewing angle that puts more of the world in your sight. Whether it’s a warbler in motion or a deer slipping through shadow, you won’t miss the moment.

With a close focus of just 6.5 feet, it's also perfect for near-field detail work — no need to switch gear to enjoy every inch of the trail. The 8.1° field of view (426 ft @ 1000 yards) offers unmatched scanning power, especially for birders and wildlife watchers who need to keep their subjects in frame.

With an adaptable 57–74 mm interpupillary range, comfortable twist-up eyecups, and industry-leading 17.2mm of eye relief, it’s designed for true all-day comfort — with or without glasses.

If you’re ready to invest in your first serious binoculars — or want a lighter, wider companion to your high-magnification glass — the Midas G2 UHD 8x42 offers a rare mix of clarity, versatility, and comfort that’s built to go anywhere.
