Vixen pitches the APEX J at concerts and live events, and it is just as capable for birds and wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery lens surface is fully multi-coated and the prisms carry phase-correction and high-reflectivity coatings. Large 22 mm eyepiece lenses with twist-up eyecups give 17.5 mm of eye relief, the body is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed against water, and it weighs 605 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a
