Birds have inspired us for hundreds of years. To watch a bird is to witness the freedom of flight. There are few who truly understand the drive that compels us to watch the graceful creatures of the sky dance with the wind. For those who understand there is nothing that will take away the joys of catching a glimpse of nature's minstrels.

Optavian's 8x42 Close Focus binoculars bring you a little closer to flying with the birds. The close focus of 6 feet allows you to use your binoculars for viewing both near and far. Exceptional fine focusing ability gives ample adjustment for the perfect focus while allowing you to follow birds in flight. BaK4 prisms and fully multi-coated optical lenses provide excellent color transmission and image contrast and rubber armor sheds water and guards against bumps and bangs. Included binocular suspenders give you quick access to your binoculars while easing the strain of carrying binoculars in the field. These binoculars won't give you wings but they will help you follow the flight of other winged things.

Optavian understands your love of the birds and has made products especially suited to watching our avian friends. Perhaps Emily Dickinson said it best: I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven.
