Description

The Pentax 8x42 Monocular is one of our most unique products. Designed for the birder, photographer, hunter or biologist or anyone in the outdoors. This is essentially one piece of an excellent pair of binoculars. The 8x42 monocular is a high quality single tube with CL/FC/BMC/FBMC multi-coatings and a BaK4 prism. The exit pupil is 5.05mm and the eye relief is a whopping 17mm. The field of view is 393 ft at 1,000 yards with an angle of view of 7.5°. The relative brightness is 25.5 and the minimum focus is 2m. It is waterproof under JIC class 6 specifications and is dunk able to 1m for 3 minutes.

A monocular lets you keep one eye on the object and one eye on the scene around you. Let’s say you are birdwatching, you are able to spot the bird with the monocular and then if it flies away, you can follow it with the open eye until it lights on another branch or flies into another tree. Same holds true for other interests like hunting or sporting events.

The most unique feature of this Monocular is that includes a magnifier or Loupe. This loupe screws to the outer objective of the monocular and becomes a field microscope of sorts. With the magnifier added, the monocular becomes a 32x close-up wizard. If you are into bugs or planet life, this magnifier allows you to increase the actual size by 32x. The magnifier design allows you to place the monocular and magnifier directly over or on the subject matter and with the holder, it allows daylight to illuminate the object.

Jacob C. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about the weight at first, but it balances perfectly in hand for steady viewing. The clarity on a distant hawk this morning was incredible, even in low light.

Kevin V. ★★★★★

I was surprised how clear the image stayed even when I was scanning through some dense brush for birds. The twist-up eyecup locks into place nicely, which is a small detail but makes a difference when you're switching between users.

Abigail ★★★★★

Took this monocular birding last weekend and the 8x magnification really pulled in the details on a red-tailed hawk without being too shaky to hold steady. The 42mm objective lets in enough light that I could keep using it well into dusk. Exactly what I needed for field work.
