Vixen Optics Foresta II ED 8x32 DCF Binocular

Sporting a versatile combination of magnification and objective lens size, with extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and fully multi-coated optical surfaces, the Vixen Optics Foresta II ED 8x32 DCF Binoculars deliver bright and sharp high-contrast images with true-to-life color and crisp clarity on the trail, out on the water, or sightseeing around town.

To help offset the dimming that can happen due to the somewhat limited light-gathering ability of the 32mm objectives, and to improve overall image quality, Vixen utilizes phase-corrected coatings on the prisms and ED glass lenses. The glass and coatings ensure views remain bright and clear and improve color rendition and contrast while limiting distortion and internal interference. The smaller objectives keep the form factor compact so the binoculars will be comfortable to carry and use all day on the trail. The moderate magnification helps to produce the comfortable exit pupil and eye relief to limit eye fatigue during long days in the field, and the wide angle of view presents you with an immersive observational experience from first light and past the last rays of sunset.

Designed to withstand the rigors of the trail, the optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to make them waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature variations. The chassis is made from an aluminum alloy to make the binoculars lightweight and corrosion resistant without sacrificing strength and stability. To further cut weight while providing you with more area to grip, Vixen employs an open-bridge configuration with a dual hinge. An oversized, knurled center focusing wheel allows for sharp focusing even while wearing gloves. For long-duration glassing sessions, or to reduce fatigue from holding them to your eyes, the Foresta II ED can be mounted on a tripod or other support system using an optional adapter.
