Eyeglass wearers know how frustrating it can be using binoculars. You have to take your glasses off with one hand and hold the binocular up to your eyes with the other. Then, you must lower the binocular and replace your glasses to scan the scene again with just your eyes. Playing this on-and-off game gets pretty annoying. You’ve tried leaving your eyeglasses on, but it’s like looking through a keyhole: you can’t see the whole field of view. And you’ve tried to get by without your glasses, but everything in the distance is too blurry.

Orion UltraViews are the answer. They are the ultimate in eyeglass- and sunglass-friendly binoculars! Their extra-long 22mm eye relief allows the full field of view to be seen with eyeglasses on, simply by retracting the twist-lock rubber eyecups. That’s a real luxury!

UltraView binoculars are also long on optical quality. Made exclusively for Orion by Japan’s largest manufacturer of high-quality optics, UltraViews feature the finest BAK-4 glass prisms, and lenses finely ground and polished to exacting specifications. All lens and prism air-to-glass surfaces are fully multi-coated, providing much higher light transmission than can be achieved with the standard coatings offered on most other binoculars. Colors are pure and images are tack-sharp right out to the edges. The large center focus wheel allows quick focusing with just a fingertip.

The Orion UltraView 8x42 Wide-Angle Binocular is the ideal size for birding, nature observation, and traveling. Delightfully wide 8.2° field of view. Birders also love the exceptionally close focus of 12’. 8x magnification, 5.3mm exit pupil, extra-long 22mm eye relief. Weighs 27 oz.

This binocular’s cast alloy metal construction holds up admirably under extensive field use. Black rubber armoring protects the binocular against bumps and scratches, and finger grooves provide a sure grip.

The Orion UltraView 8x42 binocular comes with a rugged soft field case, objective lens caps, and a deluxe wide neck strap. The binocular has a threaded socket to accept a tripod adapter.

Ultra-Special Features:

  • Extra-long 22mm eye relief
  • Fully multi-coated optics
  • Finest BAK-4 glass prisms
  • Large knurled center focus knob
  • Twist-lock eyecups
  • Tripod adapter socket

I love these binoculars. I wear glasses and have been looking for some binoculars that would work well with glasses for about 10 years. I have tried the inexpensive to the moderately priced ranges. I can see more(even at 15 feet) than I could the others. If these existed 10 years ago, I wasted an equal amount of money on binoculars that didn't do the job. I would highly recommend these to anyone, but especially to those who wear glasses.

This little gem is still in good condition after 15 years of use and abuse, but I liked it so much, I bought a new one a few years ago. Sturdy, durable, even after dropping the older twin off of embankments and driving with it on the roof of my car for a few miles. Optics are very good for light astronomy use, like Orion nebula and general stars and satellites, but this instrument really excels for terrestrial use. Sporting events, football, baseball, race tracks, license plates on wanted vehicles fleeing at a high rate of speed are all easy for little Mr. 8x42. As a glasses wearer, I love the long eye relief, large apparent field of view, wide angle, and big lenses.
Favorite viewing location:??The Grassy Knoll
Favorite object to observe:??The Sky
Pros: portability, durability, optics, long eye relief, versatility
Cons: aperture
Yes, I recommend this product!

For years I have read on the net that 7 x 50 binocs are required for stargazing. Baloney! I take this 8 x 42 on my travels and found that it is more than adequate for stargazing in just about any condition. At home I have binoculars of many different sizes, but I love this pair because of the image quality. Contrast and resolution is superior to any other binoc of its size that I have looked through, and this is of paramount importance for stargazing. Exit pupil just right. Well worth the money!

I bought these binoculars primarily for birding but I also wanted an instrument that could pull double-duty for stargazing. I have been using them for a few years and I have not been disappointed! Images are clear and bright even to the edges of the wide field of view, which is an obvious advantage for birdwatching. My eyeglass-wearing friends also appreciate the long eye-relief and twist-down eyecups. I don't wear glasses myself so I usually leave the eyecups extended, and I find them much more comfortable than most other binoculars I've used. For birdwatching, these binos are almost perfect. For astronomy, they still produce clear images, although not as good as my 8x56 due to their smaller aperture. I mainly use these when observing with friends and I find it handy to have an extra pair of binos around. In this role, these binoculars never get mounted on my tripod, which is reserved for my bigger 8x56, but their light weight makes scanning the sky a joy even by hand. All in all, if your interests lie purely in astronomy, I'd recommend a bigger binocular. However, if you want to do birdwatching or a little of both, then the quality and price of this pair is hard to beat.
