Crafted from lightweight aluminum with waterproof construction and premium coatings, these binoculars are designed for serious bird watchers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking professional-grade optics in a portable, durable package. ## Description The Oberwerk Sport ED Series, with their ED (extra-low dispersion) objectives and wide 65° AFOV (apparent field of view), are the finest roof-prism binoculars we've ever offered. These are the only apochromatic binoculars in the Oberwerk product line- which means chromatic aberration, or false color, is completely eliminated from the view. Available in either 8x42 (8.1° FOV) or 10x42 (6.5° FOV), they’re the perfect choice for advanced-level bird-watching and wildlife viewing, or for any type of viewing where flawless color rendition is necessary. While more expensive than our Sport HD Series, they are much less than competitor's ED binoculars, and are truly an exceptional value. All-aluminum construction with attractive textured green rubber armor. Even the focus wheel is aluminum (most other brands use plastic focusers). Like the Sport HD Series, the Sport ED's are completely waterproof. The internal focusers have the widest range of any Oberwerk binoculars, allowing them to focus as close as 6 ft. away! Oberwerk's signature broadband multi-coatings are found on every air-to-glass surface (fully multi-coated), and the prisms are phase-coated for highest-possible image quality. The eyecups are continuously adjustable- simply twist to move them in or out. Includes right ocular diopter adjustment, soft rubber ocular cover, captive soft rubber objective covers, rugged nylon case, and our premium heavy-duty strap. ## Features - Portable - Lightweight ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Manufacturer | OBERWERK | | Model | 8x42SED | | Model Name | ed,sport,sport ed | | Product Dimensions | 15.24 x 5.08 x 12.7 cm; 725.75 g | | Item model number | 8x42SED | | Special Features | Lightweight, Portable | | Maximum magnification | 8 x | | Optical zoom | 8 x | | Batteries Included | No | | Batteries Required | No | | Material | Aluminium, Plastic, Rubber | | Lens type | ED Lens | | Mounting Type | Roof | | Actual viewing angle | 8.1 | | Includes Rechargeable Battery | No | | Manufacturer | OBERWERK | | Item Weight | 726 g | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Special Feature:** Lightweight, Portable - **Objective Lens Diameter:** 42 Millimeters - **Magnification Maximum:** 8 x - **Specific Uses For Product:** Hiking and Outdoors ## Images ![Oberwerk 8x42mm Sport ED binocular - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-0iK9oorL.jpg) ![Oberwerk 8x42mm Sport ED binocular - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51bExcPZuHL.jpg) ![Oberwerk 8x42mm Sport ED binocular - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Nb+eOKHQL.jpg) ![Oberwerk 8x42mm Sport ED binocular - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Vv7d9lKVL.jpg) ![Oberwerk 8x42mm Sport ED binocular - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618a9B8TwcL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Hi. Do they come with batteries? Also, are they good for night sky? I live on high floor of condo with great view, and want to view city and sky.** A: This binocular does not use batteries (Amazon flagged our products as “uses lithium batteries” and they are unable to fix that!). The Sport ED with give great view of the city as well as the night sky. But for astronomy, it’s best to not look through glass as it causes reflections and double images. Best to view the night sky outside if possible. **Q: Does it come with harness?** A: I do not know what you mean by ‘harness”, but it comes with a strap you can use to put around your neck. It is shaped and lightly padded. **Q: your eye relief is listed at 18 mm. but the Oberwerks website lists it as "15 mm(usable). Why the discrepancy?** A: Because usable eye relief is typically overstated by manufacturers, sometimes by a lot, we recently revised the eye relief specifications on our site to "usable eye relief", as very-accurately-measured on our ROAMER system (more info on that at our site). This makes Oberwerk models appear to have less eye relief than other brands, but that's not the case- we simply state actual usable eye relief. Under our system, as little as 12mm of eye relief is enough for most people to use with glasses on. We have not yet updated Amazon specification yet, but will once we figure out a way to convey the difference between us and others. **Q: Can this item be mounted on a monopod or tripod?** A: Yes it can be, I believe it came with an adapter that allows for the binocular to be mounted. ## Frequently Bought Together - Oberwerk 8x42 Sport ED Binocular - Professional Binoculars for Adults/Hiking and Outdoors/Advanced-Level Bird Watching/Textured Green Rubber Armor/Anodized Trim - Staoptics Binocular Tripod Adapter Quick Release 1/4-20Inch Threading Detachable Mount for 8x32 8x36 8x40 8x42 10x50 12x60 15x60 15x70 20x80 25x70 Binoculars etc Model - Oberwerk 2000 Series Monopod - Binocular & Camera Monopod Stand with Grip-Action Ball Head & 2 Versatile Quick-Release Plates | Lightweight, Portable, Foldable Monopod | Extends from 34" to 78" --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/645769162-oberwerk-8x42mm-sport-ed-binocular](https://www.desertcart.us/products/645769162-oberwerk-8x42mm-sport-ed-binocular) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
