Briefly
Eden Quality 8x42 roof-type binoculars. High quality optics guarantee a very clear and bright image with a high edge-of-field-sharpness. Filled with Argon to prevent condensation of air. Light weight Magnesium body.

Optical qualities: clear, bright and wide image
These binoculars are equipped with high quality optical elements which are normally only found in more expensive binoculars. (See our Eden Quality price advantage).

The high quality lenses are made from ED glass (Extra-low Dispersion glass) which provides a sharper image. All lenses are coated with a variety of coatings (FMC, Fully Multi Coated) that provide excellent light transmission over the complete spectrum, resulting in a bright image and excellent colour reproduction.Thanks to their special ‘Water-repellent Coatings' on the objectives, the bright view is retained during rainy weather.
The prisms are made from BAK-4 glass and are equipped with silver coatings and phase correction coatings for optimum light transmission and colour reproductions.

The ‘Extra low dispersion glass’ lenses and BAK-4 prisms are carefully aligned, which results in distortion-free images. These binoculars feature a very wide field of view of up to 142 metres at a distance of 1,000 metres, which is excellent for 8x42 binoculars. Together with the quick focus, the target is quickly and easily found.

Roof type binoculars: compact and airtight
These Eden Quality ED binoculars are roof-type binoculars. In this construction the lenses are in line with each other. This makes the binoculars both narrow and airtight since the volume does not change when focusing with roof type binoculars. This is in contrast to the so-called porro-type of binoculars, which change in volume and therefore tend to let air in or out when focusing.

Argon filled: no condensation
During the manufacturing process, the binoculars are filled with Argon. This makes it possible to use the binoculars at very low temperatures without any condensation of air inside the binoculars.

Suitable for people wearing spectacles
The 17 mm eye relief and the solid ‘twist-up’ eye caps make these binoculars ideally suitable for all users with or without spectacles.

Eden Quality price advantage!
These Eden Quality binoculars are produced for us by a manufacturer who also produces goods for other leading brands. By selling our products directly to the end consumer, without brands or distributors in the sales chain, we are able to guarantee high quality at the most competitive prices possible.

I am thrilled with my ED 8x42 binoculars! The images are wonderfully clear and sharp. These binoculars are simple to use, even with glasses.1 minus point: the adjustment setting for the right eye turns too easily. But this isn’t really a problem as long as you remember where the mark is.

Review from www.edenwebshops.de. For your convenience translated into English by Google Translate.
I got 14 days to view the glass and had ample opportunity to test. Conclusion: The telescope is worth the money anyway. Bright, sharp and very wide field of view, no significant color fringing even at high contrast and extreme lighting conditions, ideal for eyeglass wearers. Sound and quality finish, the glass is very good in the hand. The central diopter adjustment is getting used to, but because of the grid markers adjusted quickly. I recently had to say the glass is in perfect weather with Lechtal Alps and in the need that was a "eureka moment." Razor-sharp vision and enormous attention to detail even at distant objects. Thus, the searching of the mountain scenery is really fun. Fellow hikers, I have times where the glass is also on hand, were also very impressed by the visual qualities and the handling, it was generally judged priced much higher. The only drawback are the really poor quality and the strap is not fixable on the binoculars lens cap (even though they include good and solid). But all in all a very good pair of binoculars with superior optical quality, precision mechanics and feel good. All this in a truly remarkable price-performance ratio. Highly recommended!

Top viewer! Very bright and sharp. Even at dusk, you still image, where other viewers fail. Good and fast focusing, very sturdy and solid finish.

Some complain about the bag, which is indeed simple, but you buy the viewer, and let not the case.

My previous was a wide angle viewer (156m to 1000m) in the search easier and more while watching the details surrounding the viewer picks up and gives peace.
At first I was so looking for a telescope with a wide field of view but are hard to find. The Eden ED was the only alternative (142m to 1000m) and I was also surprised by the crystal clear picture and great colors certainly not inferior to specimens 2 to 3 times as expensive. Focusing works perfectly and is comfortable to hold. Apart from my preference for birds and other wildlife strikes me that I frequently focus on hanging in the air / passing insects that fall into my brain sharp. In short, I've found more than I wanted.

What a good 8x42 binoculars are the ED. The wide field of view is great, and for me as a birder who wear glasses, large, adjustable eyecups no obstacle. Even the electrical wires at far distance are sharp. In short: My top purchase of the year!

Unbelievably good image reproduction for a telescope that is so cheap! We have compared the glass with a Swarovski and Zeiss. the differences are really minimal.
some negative points: the diopter adjustment might be a little too easy and you can even turn slightly to the point. So watch out for the placement of the fingers.

Review from www.knivesandtools.nl. For your convenience translated into English by Google Translate.
A very nice viewer for a small price. The ability to resolve details appeared on a tripod and with a test card much bigger than you in the first instance of a telescope with a magnification of 8 x expect. Similar to a regular 10 or 12 times magnifying viewer. The ED optics and thus error-free and color-contrast images are certainly to blame. Very nice to know that your instrument more than you can in the field from first hand look. As an amateur astronomer I make good use of the huge field of view: the Eden I prepare the "path" between the stars to deep sky objects, and then that same path with a larger telescope to "walk".
With the service I am very pleased. My first Eden showed a small mechanical problem with the focus to have. (Too much slack, to resolve through. Between a ring) After reporting to Knives and Tools anyway, I was immediately sent a new one. And what was reported back to the first copy was going on!

Great instrument, the comparison with more expensive binoculars with ease, here I go a lot of fun!
Kudos for service!

The only criticism is the case. It looks very simple.
