The L.L. Bean by Celestron Discovery 10x42 binocular is a versatile, dependable optic designed to meet the needs of every outdoor enthusiast. An all-around great choice for the trail, the stadium, or anywhere you want a close-up view of the action without sacrificing brightness or detail.
Coatings and Prisms
The Discovery binoculars feature multi-coated optics, which provide high resolution and high contrast views. The prisms inside this binocular are made of high quality BaK-4 glass. Taken together, the multi-coated lenses and BaK-4 prisms maximize light transmission for remarkably bright and detailed images.
The Body
You know you can trust L.L. Bean products to withstand tough use in the outdoors—and the Discovery binocular is no different. It’s ready for rough handling, challenging weather conditions, and unexpected downpours. The binocular is fully waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent internal fogging of lenses. But even with all these rugged features, this binocular remains lightweight and won’t weigh you down on the trail.
Viewing through your binoculars is comfortable for both eyeglass wearers and non-eyeglass wearers thanks to the durable twist-up eyecups. Twist through multiple click stops to find the position that works best for you.
Perfect for a Variety of Uses
This binocular features a close focus of just 14.8 feet, making it ideal for birding, hiking, camping, sporting events, and travel. For distance viewing, the 10x42 model offers a wide field of view so you can easily follow subjects as they move with less need to move the binoculars.
Ways to Observe
Carry your binocular comfortably with the included strap. It’s also tripod-adaptable, so you can mount it on any standard photographic tripod for extended viewing or digiscoping (photography through the eyepiece). The tripod adapter is sold separately.
When your binocular is not in use, store it in its soft-sided protective case. Eyepiece covers keep rain, dust, and other substances off your eyepiece lenses in the field and protect them while in storage.
