Black 12x42 Binoculars with 12x Magnification for Long-Distance Viewing

These 12x42 binoculars feature 12 times magnification that brings distant subjects noticeably closer, while the 42mm objective lenses gather sufficient light for brighter images. With 15mm of eye relief accommodating spectacle wearers and a 114m field of view at 1000m distance allowing you to track movement across wide areas, these binoculars balance power with usability. The roof prism structure creates a streamlined design that fits comfortably in hand during extended use.

Features and Optical Quality

The optical system combines multiple specifications to deliver clear viewing experiences. Each component works together to provide measurable performance benefits in various outdoor conditions.

Magnification and Objective Design

The 12x magnification makes objects appear twelve times closer than they appear to the naked eye, useful for identifying details at distance. Paired with 42mm objective lenses that capture light effectively, this combination maintains image brightness while providing substantial magnification. The roof prism structure folds the light path internally, creating a more compact design than traditional porro prism binoculars of similar specifications.

Optical Specifications

With 15mm of eye relief, users can maintain the full field of view while wearing eyeglasses, preventing the need to remove spectacles for viewing. The 4.2mm exit pupil diameter determines how much light reaches your eyes, balancing brightness with the eye's natural pupil dilation in different lighting conditions. The 114m field of view at 1000m distance means you can see a 114-metre wide area when looking at objects one kilometre away, useful for tracking birds in flight or following sporting action.

Construction and Durability

Applications and Usage Scenarios These binoculars suit various outdoor activities where observing distant subjects provides value. The specifications support specific use cases across different environments and purposes.

Birdwatching and Wildlife Observation

Sporting Events and Outdoor Activities At sporting events, the 12x magnification brings you closer to the action from distant seats or viewing positions. The 42mm objective lenses provide sufficient light gathering for clear viewing during daytime events, while the manageable size allows comfortable holding throughout matches or races. The roof prism design creates a streamlined shape that fits easily into bags or cases when transporting to and from venues.

Travel and Scenic Viewing

When travelling, these binoculars help appreciate landscape details, architectural features, or distant viewpoints that would otherwise appear as indistinct shapes. The combination of magnification and field of view balances bringing subjects closer with maintaining context of their surroundings. The black finish and compact design make them suitable for various environments without appearing overly technical or conspicuous.

Benefits and Value Considerations

The specifications translate to practical benefits during use, while the design supports long-term usability across different scenarios.

Performance Value

Usability and ComfortPractical Considerations</h3 The included telescope provides immediate usability without requiring additional accessories for basic operation. The specifications balance magnification with other optical factors to create a usable tool rather than maximising any single specification at the expense of others. This approach results in binoculars that perform effectively across different scenarios rather than excelling in one specific condition while struggling in others.
