Konus' green 8x42 KonusRex Binocular features phase-corrected BAK4 roof prisms and anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics that produce a versatile and capable optic with bright and clear high-contrast images with true colour rendition across its field of view. Its 8x magnification brings subjects up-close without the noticeable hand-shake often associated with higher power optics. The combination of prisms, optical coatings, and an angle of view that approaches wide-angle, users can enjoy an immersive observational experience in most lighting conditions, and even in the most extreme weather. Whether you're birding, boating or watching your favorite team, this KonusRex is a nice companion.
Complementing the optical performance are construction details that make the binocular durable and comfortable to use. It has an open-bridge design which allows the hand to wrap completely around the optical tubes while reducing weight and bulk. A lightweight and durable aluminum alloy chassis further cuts weight, and is protected by green rubberized armor that is textured to give it a non-slip grip. The optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be water and fogproof - especially in extreme weather conditions. A right-eye diopter adjustment allows the binocular to be customized to most people's needs, and a tripod adapter mount on the front hinge allows it to be put on a stable support system for long observation sessions.
