Optisan LR ED 8x34 Binoculars
The Optisan LR ED 8x34 Binoculars combine bright, clear optics with a lightweight build that’s perfect for nature lovers, birdwatchers, and outdoor enthusiasts, featuring an 8× magnification with 34 mm objective lenses that deliver crisp, detailed views across a wide field of view, premium ED glass and advanced multi‑coating help reduce chromatic aberration and improve contrast so colours look natural and edges remain sharp, and the ergonomic open‑hinge design offers a comfortable, stable grip even during long observation sessions; rugged IPX7 waterproof and fog‑proof construction with nitrogen purging means they’re ready for rainy weather and humid conditions, while a close‑focus distance of around 2 m makes them ideal for everything from birding to butterfly watching and landscape spotting.
