Vixen Foresta 8x42 CF Wide
The Vixen Foresta 8x42 CF Wide is very versatile in use: you can use it in forested areas but also in flat areas! Because of the objective lenses with a 42mm diameter, these binoculars logically offer a clearer picture as they capture more light. Not only do Vixen manufacture roof binoculars, they also offer porro models in their range! Porro viewers deliver the same performance as similar roof models but are usually cheaper. This gives you the same image quality but at a lower price. However, the models are often larger and heavier; the properties of the components in this model ensure that the viewer has a broad ('wide') field of vision. All in all, this a nice and reasonably priced product!
Magnesium housing
The housing of the viewer is made using the die-cast method. During this process, molten metal, in this case magnesium, is injected into a mold under very high pressure. After the coagulation process a solid and uniform body remains. The housing is filled with nitrogen gas to keep water out and prevent condensation. The exterior of the viewer features a rubber coating for optimum grip.
