Ideal for fast and easy observations of mid- to long-distance subjects, the Olympus 8x42 Magellan EXWP I Binocular sports a magnification and objective lens size favored by birders, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts who are constantly on the move. The Magellan is made with phase-corrected BAK4 roof prisms and fully multi-coated optics to produce color-accurate high-contrast views without distortion or color fringing, so your distant subjects look crisp and clear with excellent resolution. With avid users in mind, Olympus treated the objective lenses with ultraviolet (UV)-blocking coatings to prevent this harmful radiation from damaging your eyes. Designed for daily outdoor use in all weather and to make it easy to hold, the Magellan features a slip-resistant armoring to provide a sure and positive grip. A standard 1/4-20 socket allows it to be mounted on most quick-release plate, heads, photo/video/field tripods, and other support systems, using an optional adapter, for hands-free use. The optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging if the weather turns or the Magellan takes an accidental spill in a stream or puddle.
