Explore Scientific G400 Series 8x42 Binoculars

A wide-field 8x42 binocular with fully multi-coated optics and BaK-4 roof prisms. At 394 feet per 1,000 yards it has the widest field of view in the G400 lineup, which makes it the G400 model best suited to tracking birds, wildlife, and other fast-moving subjects.

The 8x magnification is easier to hand-hold than 10x, and the 42mm objectives gather enough light for clear views from dawn through dusk. Silver, phase-correction, and high-reflective dielectric coatings on the BaK-4 prisms deliver bright, high-contrast images with accurate color. Waterproof construction handles rain, snow, and fog. Twist-up eyecups with 17.5mm eye relief accommodate eyeglass wearers, and the 2-meter (6.6 ft) close focus lets you observe butterflies and flowers from a couple of steps away.
