Explore Scientific G600 ED Series 8x42 BinocularsA premium 8x42 binocular with ED (extra low dispersion) glass and dielectric phase corrected BaK 4 prisms the widest field of view in the G600 ED lineup at 372 feet per 1,000 yards, optimized for birders and wildlife observers who need color accurate views free of chromatic aberration. ED glass bends different wavelengths of light more uniformly than standard glass, virtually eliminating the purple fringing visible around high contrast edges in non ED

A premium 8x42 binocular with ED (extra-low dispersion) glass and dielectric phase-corrected BaK-4 prisms — the widest field of view in the G600 ED lineup at 372 feet per 1,000 yards, optimized for birders and wildlife observers who need color-accurate views free of chromatic aberration.

ED glass bends different wavelengths of light more uniformly than standard glass, virtually eliminating the purple fringing visible around high-contrast edges in non-ED binoculars. The result is sharper detail and truer color on bird plumage, leaf textures, and distant landscapes. Fully multi-coated lenses and dielectric phase-corrected prisms maximize light transmission for bright views from dawn through dusk.

Nitrogen-purged and rated IPX7 waterproof — submersible to 1 meter for 30 minutes — so fog, rain, and humidity are non-issues. The 3-meter close focus handles nearby butterflies and wildflowers, and the tripod socket provides stability for extended sessions.
