Celestron’s Nature DX 42mm binoculars are the perfect companion for your next outdoor adventure. A great first step into the world of serious sport optics, the views through Nature DX rival those of more expensive binoculars, at a price to fit your budget.

SOPHISTICATED OPTICS
Nature DX’s high quality BaK-4 prisms are phase coated to increase contrast and resolution. Phase coated prisms, combined with fully multi-coated lenses, provide maximum light transmission through the entire optical path, for brighter images, even in low light conditions.
With 8x or 10x magnification and 42 mm objective lenses, Nature DX 42mm strikes the perfect balance between performance and ease of use. Acquire and follow your subject quickly in the wide field of view. Or, observe nearby subjects like plants and insects with a close focus of just 6.5 feet.
BINOCULARS THAT FIT YOUR LIFESTYLE
A durable rubber armoured, polycarbonate housing protects your Nature DX binoculars from damage without weighing you down. Twist-up eyecups with multiple stops ensure proper positioning of the eyes, even for eyeglass wearers.
Waterproof, fogproof, and nitrogen purged, these binoculars can withstand the elements. They’re easy to pack, even for long excursions, and fit comfortably in a glove box or oversized pocket.
BIRD WATCHING MADE EASY
Birders will love Nature DX for its bright, sharp views of distinguishing features and markings. You’ll get more bird identifications and more enjoyment from each birding outing. The 8x42 model is a favorite among beginning and intermediate birders, since birds are easier to locate and follow in its wide field of view.

Excellent all round birding binoculars 12 December 2018 | Helen
I bought these for my husband’s Christmas present. He’d researched reviews before choosing the Celestron DX42. He has other binoculars but wanted something specifically for using on walks in the fields and woods of Shropshire. He is absolutely delighted with the binoculars (he shouldn’t really have them before Christmas)
They are so easy to use and the clarity and field of vision is outstanding. We would definitely recommend them and also recommend buying from Firstlightoptics: the best price, great communication and a fast delivery.
