Celestron's Regal ED 10x42 Binoculars 

The Celestron Regal 10x42 Binocular provides some extra magnification for birders.

Providing a little extra magnification, Celestron Regal ED 10x42 Binoculars are the top of the line Celestron binoculars, yet they retain a very attractive price for these high-quality binoculars. The field flattener technology delivers edge-to-edge clarity, and the ED objective lenses provide extra-sharp views of birds you encounter with a high degree of contrast and accurate colors. In fact, the ED glass objective lenses deliver visibly brighter, sharper images for birders compared to non-ED models, and the difference is especially apparent in low light conditions, such as during cloudy periods, in shaded locations, and at dawn and dusk.

In addition to the impressive lens optics, the Celestron Regal's BaK-4 roof prisms are phase-coated and dielectric-coated to produce vivid true-to-life colors, increased light transmission, and image contrast, which helps to create high-quality birding experiences at a surprisingly economical price. The lightweight magnesium alloy body protects these Regal ED Binoculars, which are deigned to be ergonomically well-balanced in your hands – plus they are waterproof and fogproof. These Celestrons are eyeglass friendly, and they provide generous eye relief with the advantage of sturdy twist-up eyecups with multiple stops to make your viewing periods as easy and comfortable as possible.

You can focus in on feeder birds and other close sightings to within 5 feet, and the field of view of 340 feet at 1,000 yards is birder friendly for a model with 10x magnification. Of course, the added magnification of the 10x reduces the field of view in this model, but the 8x model of the Regal EDs (8x42) provides a wider field of view that measures 420 feet at 1,000 yards. So, if you prefer wide-angle views, you can choose the 8x Celestron Regal ED model; if you like added magnification, go with the 10x42s. Both models are tripod-adaptable too, in case you make extended observations at certain locations.

Celestron Regal Binoculars come with a full Celestron Kit, which includes a quality hard-cover zippered case with a shoulder strap, a cushioned Celestron neck strap, a rain guard, 2 objective lens covers, and a lens cloth. Protected by Celestron's Limited Lifetime Warranty and a 30-day return policy, you also get Free Shipping in the Lower 48 States from Celestron.
