All about optics
The large field of view and optics providing edge-to-edge sharpness make the EL 8.5x42 binoculars versatile to use. The 4.9-mm exit pupils also produce bright images in poor light conditions.
Objective lens diameterThe objective lens diameter specifies how much light can enter the optics. This makes it a key factor in an instrument’s performance, for example, in twilight. The bigger the objective lens diameter, the more light the objective lens can capture. The darker the surroundings, the larger the objective lens diameter needs to be. Check the precise product name as the number after the ‘x’ specifies the objective lens diameter in millimeters. For example, a device with the suffix 10x42 has an objective lens with a diameter of 42 mm.

EL 8.5x42I love my new ELs! I am an avid birder, and it was time for me to get a new pair of binocs. After extensive research, I purchased the EL 8.5x42 binoculars. I love them. They are a little stiff out of the box, but are already starting to move easier. The optics are beautiful, and the light weight makes it easy to carry around on longer birding adventures. I highly recommend these to anyone looking for a new pair of binoculars. You won't be disappointed.
Excellent binoculars,
Spectacular! Super clear edge-to-edge image. Perfect smooth focus function. Really comfortable multi-position adjustable eye-cups. 8.5x perfect for denser/wooded environment. Carried comfortably all day on a 3 1/2-day birding trip in May without a harness. I read some complaints about the "lift carrying strap pro" system, but I like the ease of adjustment while wearing the binoculars (you can weave the hanging cord into the rest of the strap if it is bothersome), and you never get "strap twist" from the cord due to the rotating connector. [If you really are bothered, you can get strap adapters that fit into the little strap hub button.] My only complaint is the absence of an included case--the included storage bag is inadequate for transport, even sitting in a car, so I fell into their trap and bought the excellent FSB bag. Great binoculars!
I am very satisfied and the quality is really excellent! Product and quality from our own country, what more could you want! Can only recommend
