Orion® 8x42 Savannah Porro Prism Astronomy Binocular

This Savannah Porro binocular is not just "water resistant," it's 100% waterproof. The barrels are nitrogen-purged and sealed not only to keep water out, but also to prevent internal fogging of the lenses. That means you can take this binocular with you anywhere, in any weather, and get a crisp, clear image. It's also a great choice for freehand amateur astronomy.

Unlike many other waterproof binoculars, The Savannah Porro 8x42 binocular doesn't neglect optical quality. Quite the contrary! Its optics are first-rate, featuring the finest BaK4 porro prisms for superb image definition, and fully multi-coated lens and prism surfaces for maximum light intake. The barrels are internally baffled to ensure excellent contrast. It has long 16mm eye relief, making it eyeglass and sunglass friendly. Compact and easy to carry, this model has 8x magnifying power and 42mm-diameter objective lenses. 6.5° field of view. Minimum focus distance is 4.5m (14 ft.). Long 16mm eye relief. Waterproof/fogproof. Weighs 1.6 lbs.

 

The rugged, rubber-armored metal body design fits comfortably in the hand. This binocular features a large center focusing wheel and click-stop right diopter adjustment, and twist-up eyecups to shade your eyes from ambient light. It is threaded for a tripod adapter and comes with a deluxe wide neck strap, lens caps, and a soft carrying case. The Savannah Porro 8x42 binocular is ideal for stargazing, boating, birdwatching, and everyday use. It's not just a "fair-weather friend" — it performs in any weather and will last longer than ordinary binoculars.
