Small binoculars 8x42 – The Kolibri binoculars
Affordable, lightweight, aesthetically pleasing with very good imaging properties.
The roof prism binocular Kolibri 8x42 is very popular for vacation trips or hikes.
Hunters, bird watchers, and nature lovers particularly appreciate this bright and lightweight binocular in twilight, with its bright, high-contrast, and glare-free image reproduction and the generous field of view of 126m.
The new Generation 3 comes with a new design featuring a slim bridge and improved optics.
Additionally, in this model, all moving parts, such as the diopter, focusing wheel, and eyecup, are made of robust lightweight metal.
The eyecup also features a Z-click stop.

The all-round binocular – The Kolibri 8x42
This binocular with 8x magnification is excellent for long distances – both during the day and in low light conditions.
The exit pupil of 5.3 mm is in a range that allows for fatigue-free observation.
With a unique weight of only 615 g for this performance class, compact dimensions of 142/130/49 mm, a large field of view of 126m for this type of binocular, and a short close focus range (2.5 m), the possibilities for use are nearly unlimited – from hunting in forests, fields, and mountains to observing the world of birds, flowers, and insects.

The new generation
Generation 3 not only comes with a new design featuring a slim bridge but also with improved optics.
In addition to a completely revised and improved optical system, the HDX-FMC coating is now also used.
Furthermore, in this model, all moving parts, such as the diopter, focusing wheel, and eyecup, are made of robust lightweight metal.
Compared to its predecessor, the weight of the 3rd generation has been reduced by nearly 40 g.

Bright and high-contrast binoculars with 8x magnification
An elaborate phase correction of the roof prism system ensures brilliant, color-accurate, and high-contrast images.
In moonlight or backlight, stray light effects are minimal.
The newly implemented HDX-FMC coating in Generation 3 guarantees not only impressive image brightness but also even higher and glare-free image sharpness up to the edge of the field of view.

Waterproof binoculars, fog-free, and focusable from 2.5m
The focusing mechanism of the Kolibri 8x42 operates via true internal focusing.
An object can be sharply focused from a distance of 2.5 m.
This also works in heavy rain, which poses no danger to the binoculars.
A nitrogen filling ensures that the Kolibri 8x42 is completely waterproof and fog-free.

Complete field of view for spectacle wearers
The Kolibri 8x42 features eyecups with Z-click stops made of indestructible lightweight metal.
These retractable eyecups allow spectacle wearers to fully enjoy the entire field of view.
On the right eyepiece, there is an easily adjustable diopter compensation.

Usage recommendation
The Kolibri 8x42 offers a significantly larger field of view of 126 m compared to its counterpart with 10x magnification, the Kolibri 10x42.
Especially when it comes to clearly identifying wildlife, this binocular is excellent for various hunting applications during the day and twilight due to its bright, high-contrast, and glare-free image reproduction as well as its low weight.
Optical quality, detail sharpness, and brilliance in image presentation provide nature lovers, hikers, and wildlife observers with an overwhelming viewing experience.
Due to the close focus range and wide field of view, this binocular is also very popular among ornithologists and insect observers.
