ED-X
The new ED-X brings the Opticron ethos “smaller,
lighter, sharper” into a new price category with a bold
design and new performance standard for £300.
Designed around a compact optical system to minimise overall
length, ED-X series 8x42 and 10x42 binoculars stand just
136mm high making them closer in size to many 8/10x32’s
available on the market. The new micro-bridge™
assembly, wide wheel focusing and textured rubber
armour combine to offer greater flexibility for positional
grip with easy access for focus adjustment even under
single handed operation. Weighing in at 650g the
instruments are light in the hand as well as easy on the neck
when carried using a traditional lanyard.
A CN standard ED objective lens system increases light
transmission over standard optical glass objectives in this class,
while the wide field eyepieces 7.5° (8x42), 6.2° (10x42) offer a
panorama-like visual experience helping successful ‘track and
trace’ for all types of wildlife observation.
Other features include:
• Fully nitrogen gas waterproof (1m)
• Compact internal focusing optical system with close focus to
under 2m
• Multi-stage eyecups (4-stops 8x42, 3-stops 10x42)
• Thumb wheel ‘click-stop’ right dioptre adjuster
• Soft touch textured rubber armour
• 10 year guarantee
ED-X binoculars are supplied complete in soft
neoprene case with rainguard, padded lanyard
and removable integral objective lens caps.
