Terra ED 8x42

The Terra ED 8x42 combines a compact design with a durable, weather-resistant construction, making it a reliable companion for a wide range of nature observations. With its 8x magnification, it offers a wide field of view while delivering a steady, clear image—ideal for flexible use on the go. The high-quality ED glass, paired with a hydrophobic multi-coating, ensures detailed and high-contrast images even in challenging lighting conditions. A light transmission of 88 percent also provides bright images at dusk and in low light.
The centrally placed focusing wheel is large, smooth-running, and intuitive to use. The index finger naturally finds the correct position when gripping, allowing for quick and precise focusing without the need for readjustment. This is especially useful when a subject suddenly appears and there’s no time to reposition the binoculars.
Thanks to its fiberglass-reinforced, waterproof housing, the Terra ED 8x42 stands up reliably to demanding conditions. At the same time, its low weight and compact form make it comfortable to carry and easy to store in a backpack or jacket pocket. This makes it a robust and versatile companion for anyone who values easy handling and a clear view in their outdoor observations.
