Hawke Frontier HD X 10 x 42 High Quality Binocular - Green #38012
Outfitted with a magnification and objective lens size favoured by hunters, birders, and outdoor enthusiasts around the world, Photo Express (The Photography Shop) brings you the Hawke Optics 10x42 Frontier HD X Binocular is packed with features to greatly enhance your glassing experience, including phase-corrected and dielectric-coated BAK4 roof prisms and anti-reflection fully multi-coated objective lenses. These work together to produce a versatile and capable optic optimised for long-distance observation, with bright and clear images and accurate colour rendition. Additionally, its exceptional field of view will allow you to take in sweeping vistas or a playing field without having to move your head very much and greatly increasing your comfort and enjoyment. Coupled with the optical features are full-sized 42mm diameter objectives that draw in copious amounts of light to push their usability from the pre-dawn hours all the way through to dusk.
Complementing the optical performance are construction details that make this binocular durable and comfortable to use. The lightweight and durable magnesium-alloy chassis is protected by a Grey rubberised armour that is textured for a nonslip grip. The optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme changes in temperature or environmental conditions. A right-eye diopter adjustment and twist-up eye-cups allow the binocular to be customised to most people's needs and can be comfortably used with or without eye-wear. Protecting the objectives and eyepieces are tethered caps that come off fast for easy reaction to glassing opportunities without the possibility of losing them.
Optical Performance
- High 10x magnification brings distant subjects in for close viewing and identification
- 42mm objective lenses provide the light-gathering capability required for enhanced low-light performance without the associated bulk and weight of larger lenses
- BAK4 prisms deliver a round exit pupil and a crisp and clear image with limited edge distortion
- Dielectric prism coatings boost internal surface reflectivity to greater than 99% for maximum light transmission through the prism with minimal loss and diffraction and improved contrast and clarity
- Phase-corrected prism coatings reduce internal interference to improve contrast, clarity, and resolution
- Anti-reflection fully multi-coated lenses maximise light transmission for bright and clear images with accurate colour rendition
- Water-repellent exterior lens coating allows water to bead and run off to ensure clear views in inclement weather conditions
- Wide 64° apparent angle of view helps to minimise the appearance of distracting hand shake that is common when holding high-power optics
- 336-foot field of view at 1000 yards
Use and Handling
- Closed bridge configuration offers a stable platform for the internal focusing mechanism
- Fast focusing system runs through the minimum focus distance to infinity in just 1.5 turns to make acquiring subjects fast and tracking moving targets easy
- Large slip-resistant centre focus wheel is easy to manipulate in cold or wet conditions or when wearing gloves
- Right-eye diopter adjustment enables users to compensate for optical prescription for sharper views
- Wide 56-74mm inter-pupillary adjustment range allows easy use by wide variety of people
- Twist-up click-stop eye-cups for comfortable use with or without eye-wear; removable and replaceable
- 15mm eye relief improves viewing comfort and reduces eyestrain during long glassing sessions
- Comfortable 4.2mm exit pupil will cover most pupils as they open and dilate in low light
Construction Details
- Lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant magnesium-alloy chassis
- Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme changes in temperature and environmental conditions, and IPX7-rated waterproof and submersible to a depth of 3.3' (1m) for up to 30 minutes
- Grey rubberised armour exterior protects against bumps and impacts
- Ergonomically placed ribbed palm pads provide a nonslip, stable, and comfortable grip
- Tethered objective caps and one-piece ocular rain-guard provide optimum protection against rain and dust while remaining close at hand without the possibility of losing them
