Professional-grade ED glass, combined with phase-correcting and dielectric coatings on BAK4 prisms and anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics, delivers brilliant, color-accurate, and clear images with enhanced clarity and no distortion, ghosting, or fringing. The wide field of view immerses you in your surroundings and allows you to observe large areas without shifting your position. With a close-focus distance of only 1.5m, you can easily study small subjects such as hummingbirds, butterflies, dragonflies, and other insects at close range, particularly when they are near feeders or flowers.
Built to withstand frequent use in tough outdoor environments, the optics are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed for waterproof and fogproof performance in extreme temperatures and varying conditions. Rain and dew slide right off the oil- and water-resistant exterior lens coatings, making it effortless to remove dirt and debris without any smudges or streaks, guaranteeing clear visibility. For added protection in the field, Olympus provides tethered front and rear lens caps that allow for quick response to spotting opportunities without worry of misplacing the caps.
