Praktica Pioneer R 10x42 WP Phase Coated Gen. II  –  the second generation of powerful and at the same time compact binoculars, which can be successfully used for fishing, hunting, hiking and traveling. In the city and in nature, when observing birds and animals or at sporting events – it will always please you with excellent image quality. Excellent image quality is provided by lenses with full multi-layer illumination and prisms made of BaK-4 glass, which have a phase-control and silver coating, which places this model in the highest class of optics. This coating improves image quality in low light, providing a brighter and clearer picture, for example, at dusk. The closest focusing distance of these binoculars is only 2.5 meters, which makes them suitable for use even indoors, for example, for studying museum exhibits that cannot be approached closely. The optics work effectively at dusk, in low cloud cover, in rain, and at extreme temperatures. These binoculars are not afraid of difficult observation conditions, are unpretentious and reliable. The binoculars can be successfully used in any weather thanks to their waterproof housing and nitrogen filling. Thanks to the 10x magnification, objects located at a distance of 1000 meters look as if they are only 100 meters in front of you. The binoculars provide an optimal field of view of 102 m at a distance of 1000 m, which gives a large overview of the environment.Binoculars Praktica Pioneer R 10x42 WP Phase Coated Gen. II – an excellent choice for demanding users.

Optical system
The optical scheme is based on elements made of high-quality BaK-4 glass, which ensures the absence of image distortion and correct color reproduction. Additional phase-control and silver reflective coatings improve color rendering, remove parasitic glare, and make the transmitted image brighter and clearer. All optical elements of the binoculars are covered with multilayer coating, which minimizes light loss inside the binoculars and contributes to maximum brightness and contrast of the image. The binoculars create a very bright and clear image and work effectively in low light. 10x magnification is enough to examine distant objects in detail, and the field of view is sufficient for observing fast-moving objects.

Design features
The impact-resistant polycarbonate body of the binoculars is covered with anti-slip rubber to improve grip and protects the binoculars from mechanical damage and dust. Inside, the binoculars are filled with nitrogen - a safe colorless gas that protects the optics from condensation. Thanks to 100% water protection class IPX7, the device is not afraid of even short-term immersion to a depth of up to 1 meter.

Convenience and ease of adjustment
The binoculars are easy to adapt to any user. It allows you to adjust the distance between the pupils, precisely adjust the focus using the central drum, adjust the diopters on the right eyepiece and even choose the best position of the rotating and retractable eyecups.

For ease of carrying during observations, the binoculars are equipped with a wide neoprene neck strap, and to protect against dirt and damage during storage and transportation - a hard case. For additional protection of the objective lenses and glasses, the kit includes removable covers. The lens caps are securely fastened with rubber bands, they will not fall off or get lost, but can be removed if necessary.
