Designed as a high-performing multi-purpose outdoor optic, the 8×32 Frontier ED Binocular from Hawke does not lag in quality behind the forerunners. The optics feature high-performance Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass to deliver crisp, true-color images of breathtaking landscapes, vistas, or cityscapes. With the fully multi-coated optics and high-resolution (Hi-Res) phase-corrected BAK4 roof Prisms, you will get an excellent optical transparency from the lenses as well as high resolution and high contrast images. The 32mm objectives are best suited for daylight conditions, but will perform well in mornings or evenings. And whether you focus on a close-up or faraway scenery, you can count on the wide 61° apparent angle of view to deliver a sizeable edge-to-edge field. Beyond optical highlights, the binocular provides a convenient center focusing and a diopter ring on the right tube, generous interpupillary range, and short 6.6′ minimum focus distance.
With its ultra-lightweight and durable magnesium housing, you do not have to worry about accidentally exposing the binocular to moisture or even dropping it into a water reservoir because it is waterproof and nitrogen-purged fogproof. The body features an aesthetically-appealing and ergonomic design. Its leatherette rubber armoring offers a secure hold and a pleasant handling experience. For smooth focusing and dioptriccorrection, the oversized focus knob and the diopter ring are knurled and can be easily adjustable even when wearing gloves. To accommodate anyone with a comfortable viewing position, the rubber eyecups feature a twist-out click-stop design. Also included are a strap, lens cloth, carry case, and protective lens caps.
