Celestron Nature DX ED 8x42
★4.5(1,000 reviews)
The Celestron Nature DX ED 8x42 is one of the cheapest ways to get genuine ED glass in a birding binocular. Phase-coated BaK-4 prisms, a 393 ft @ 1000 yds field of view, generous 17.8mm eye relief, and 6.5 ft close focus make it a favorite first serious binocular, with a rubber-armored polycarbonate body that keeps weight at 24.9 oz.
