Description
8x42 roof prism binocular with UHD glass, for hunting, birdwatching and general field observation.
The Midas G2 UHD 8x42 sits in the middle of Athlon's binocular range, pairing UHD extra-low dispersion glass with a magnesium chassis. UHD glass reduces chromatic fringing on high-contrast edges compared with the standard-glass HD models in the same range.
Phase-corrected BaK4 prisms with ESP dielectric coating handle light transmission and colour accuracy, and the 17.2 mm eye relief with twist-up eyecups keeps the full field of view available with or without spectacles.
Key features
- UHD extra-low dispersion glass — reduces chromatic fringing for a cleaner, higher-contrast image than the standard-glass HD version.
- ESP dielectric prism coating — reflects over 99% of the light through the prism assembly for accurate colour reproduction.
- Phase corrected BaK4 prisms — maintains contrast and resolution across the field.
- Magnesium chassis — reduces weight while keeping the rigidity of a metal body.
- 17.2 mm eye relief with twist-up eyecups — full field of view with or without spectacles.
- Argon purged and sealed — waterproof, with XPL protective coating on the exterior lenses.
Typical applications
- Hunting — glassing and game spotting
- Bird watching and general nature observation
- Wide-field observation where the widest field of view is preferred
