Ready for any outdoor adventure

The Swarovski Optik EL 8.5x42 binoculars are built for birdwatchers, hunters and nature observers who demand reliable optics in changing conditions. A 7.6-degree angle of view and large field of view provide edge-to-edge sharpness. The rugged, waterproof roof-prism design handles submersion to 13ft. An innovative wrap-around grip and solid focusing wheel ensure comfort and precise control during extended use.

Magnification that defines the view

The 8.5x magnification paired with 42mm objectives delivers a versatile balance between detail and stability for general wildlife observation. A close focus of 3.3m allows detailed study of nearby subjects such as insects or flowers. Interpupillary distance adjusts from 2.2 to 2.9in to suit different users. Eye relief of 20mm accommodates spectacle wearers comfortably. This combination suits daytime and twilight use but not specialised low-light astronomy.

Bright images with minimal strain

High 90% light transmission and 4.9mm exit pupils produce bright, clear images even in poor light, reducing eye fatigue during long sessions. SWAROVISION technology and field flattener lenses keep views razor-sharp and almost distortion-free right to the edges with remarkable colour fidelity. The waterproof, submersion-tight construction prevents internal fogging. No batteries or electronic illumination are required, so there is no power draw or electronic noise in normal use.
