Konus Emperor 10×42 WA – Open Hinge Construction
Designed and built to achieve a supreme optical quality, the Konus Emperor 10×42 WA – Open Hinge Construction will leave you breathless. The impeccable brightness and clarity of their special BAK-4 prisms with phase correction makes for an excellent experience. Our acclaimed Emperor series just evolved into a newer and more stylish configuration featuring an exclusive “open hinge” design that is at the same time very attractive and ergonomic. Nitrogen-filled optical tubes to give it a slip-resistant grip and water/fog proof design. Its open-bridge configuration reduces the weight without sacrificing strength while giving the hand a larger gripping surface.
This is an advanced coating technique that will force the light beams back into phase, thus improving the image definition and contrast. This also creates a sharper view, especially noticeable when observing fine details.
Complementing the sturdy build is a wide-angle field of view. The Emperor has anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics and phase-corrected BAK4 roof prisms. These produce bright and clear high-contrast views with true color rendition. The larger optics increase the light-gathering ability for use at dawn and dusk, or in areas with a thick canopy.
The other features of the Emperor binoculars are waterproof and nitrogen purged body. Some wide angle eyepieces for extra long eye relief and twist up eye-cups. All this along with an attractive and modern open-hinge design.
