Vanguard Endeavor ED II 8x42 Binoculars

The Endeavor ED II Series offers the latest Vanguard optical technology enhancements including premium HOYA ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass with edge-to-edge clarity that enhances light transmission.

  • Japanese HOYA Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) Glass
  • 8x magnification
  • 42mm diameter objective lens
  • Phase-corrected BaK4 Roof Prisms
  • Anti-Reflection fully multicoated optics
  • Ergonomic open bridge design
  • Durable magnesium-alloy housing
  • Textured Centre Focus Wheel
  • Nitrogen-Filled, Water and Fogproof
  • Click-Stop Twist-Up Eyecups

  • Tripod Mountable with Optional Adapter

The 8x42 Endeavor ED II Binocular features Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass and phase-corrected BaK4 prisms that work together to virtually eliminate chromatic aberration, which produces images with true colour fidelity across the entire field of view and enhanced contrast. Complementing the glass and prisms are anti-reflection fully multicoated optics that improves light transmission for bright and clear images, with greater low-light performance.

An open-bridge design helps to reduce weight without sacrificing strength, and provides a large surface area to hold. Pebbled rubber armouring helps to give protection from drops and impacts while helping to provide a non-slip grip. Designed for durability, the lightweight magnesium-alloy housing is nitrogen-filled and o-ring sealed for water and fogproof performance, and the 3-stage click-stop twist-up eyecups provide a custom-fit eye relief for use with or without eye-wear.

Understanding: Magnification

Understanding magnification, typically denoted by a number followed by an "x" (e.g., 8x42), is essential for choosing binoculars suited to specific activities like birdwatching, hunting, or stargazing.

Higher magnification offers a closer view but may sacrifice field of view and stability, while lower magnification provides a wider field of view and is generally easier to stabilize but sacrifices detailed observation of distant objects

Understanding: Field of View

Field of view refers to the width of the area visible through the binoculars at a specific distance. A wider field of view allows you to observe more of your surroundings, making it ideal for activities like birdwatching or sports events where tracking fast-moving subjects is essential.

Understanding: Objective Lens Diameter

The objective lens diameter determines how much light the binoculars can gather, directly impacting image brightness and clarity, especially in low-light conditions. A larger objective lens diameter results in brighter and clearer images, making it ideal for activities such as stargazing or wildlife observation at dawn or dusk. However, larger objective lenses also mean heavier and bulkier binoculars, which may not be suitable for all users, especially for long periods of use or travel.
