The Vanguard Endeavor ED IV 8x42 Binoculars is out of stock at every supplier we deal with. These are in stock or available to order now.
The Vanguard Endeavor ED IV 8x42 is Vanguard's top-tier binocular. Its optical system pairs HOYA ED (extra-low dispersion) glass with phase-corrected BaK4 roof prisms to minimise chromatic aberration, giving high resolution, true colour and strong contrast across the field. Fully multi-coated lenses with Vanguard's advanced coatings keep the view bright at dawn and dusk.
The 8x42 format gives a wide 126 m field at 1000 m and a 5.25 mm exit pupil, and it focuses down to 2.0 m. The open-bridge body is waterproof and fogproof. A smooth centre focus wheel, locking centre dioptre and three-stage twist-up eyecups with 19 mm eye relief make it easy to set up for any user. It comes with a carry strap, cleaning cloth and bag.
