Equipped with an Abbe-Koenig prism, the RAZOR UHD 8×42 has a relatively longer optical path that delivers sharp resolution in these higher-end binoculars. These could be the last binos for birding you’re ever going to need. The apochromatic (APO) index-matched lenses offer reliable color correction, so the images you see are always as precise as they could get.
Moreover, the UHD optics effectively eliminates chromatic aberration and enhances light transmission. For optimal clarity and performance even in low-light conditions, its lenses come with the XR Plus fully multi-coated technology.
RAZOR UHD 8×42 has a magnesium body, delivering exceptional ergonomics while significantly reducing weight. With ArmorTek coating, the exterior of the optics is surely scratch-resistant. The rubber armor grip complements this chassis, with the firm grip offering you a worry-free handling experience, especially when the conditions call for it.
Of course, these Vortex binocs has fogproof and waterproof capabilities, too. Both the argon gas filling and O-ring sealing guarantee that moisture and dirt would be the least of your concerns.
