National Geographic 10x42 Algonquin binoculars
The Algonquin is not designed to impress on paper - it is designed to perform in the field. The 10x magnification combined with a 42 mm objective lens and a field of view of 100 m at 1,000 m means that a fieldfare hidden among branches or a deer on a distant hillside appears exactly where you need it - in a sharp, clear image. BaK-4 optical glass prisms and fully multi-coated optics ensure that light passes through the binoculars with minimal loss, keeping the image true even in poor lighting conditions.
The central focusing wheel responds quickly and precisely. You will appreciate this especially when tracking moving game or birds in flight, when there is no time for slow focus adjustment. When you need to fix the binoculars for longer observation sessions, a tripod adapter thread lets you mount the Algonquin to a tripod in seconds so you can focus entirely on what you are watching.
Comfortable viewing for every observer
The National Geographic 10x42 Algonquin binoculars feature a Twist-Up eyecup system that allows quick adjustment of the eye relief distance. Spectacle wearers do not lose the edges of the field of view, and the ±3 dioptre correction lets every observer fine-tune the image to their eyesight. The result is a full, uninterrupted view with no need to remove glasses.
Built for real conditions
The ergonomically shaped body sits naturally and securely in the hand, even when the terrain puts your grip to the test. Waterproof construction protects the optics from rain, so an early morning walk through a wet forest or an observation session on an exposed hilltop in changeable weather does not have to mean cutting the trip short. The package includes a hard carrying case and a carrying strap for comfortable transport.
