Product Overview
Celestron Nature DX ED 8x42
For years, Celestron's Nature DX have offered unexpected optical quality at entry level prices. With the upgrade to high quality ED glass objectives, phase coated Bak4 prisms, and a more rugged armored polycarbonate body, the 8x42 Nature DX ED are noticeably sharper and brighter than the non-ED version. Almost everyone who looks through both non-ED and ED models agrees that for just $31 more, it’s no contest, you should go ED! The 393’ field of view makes the following flitting targets easier, while the 6.5’ close focus and water and fog proof performance are pretty much “standard” these days. The 8x42’s 17.8 mm eye relief is 3.5 more than the 10x42, making it a better choice for eyeglass wearers. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at what $177.95 can get you today!
