About Celestron Regal 8x42 ED Flat Field Binoculars

The Celestron Regal 8x42 ED Flat Field Binoculars (product 47032159469875) pair 8x magnification with a 42mm objective lens. That gives you a 5.25mm exit pupil and a wide 140m field of view at 1000m genuinely useful for tracking fast-moving birds or wildlife. The 4.9-foot close focus distance makes these exceptional for butterflies, plants and nearby subjects.

The objective lenses use ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass which virtually eliminates chromatic aberration that colour fringing you see on cheaper binoculars. Fully multi-coated optics across all air-to-glass surfaces maximise light transmission. BaK-4 prisms with phase coatings push more light through to your eye. The result is sharp, true-to-life colour with strong contrast.

The magnesium alloy body keeps weight down to 768g without sacrificing strength. Fully waterproof and nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging. Durable metal twist-up eyecups with multiple click stops suit both eyeglass and non-eyeglass wearers. The 22.5mm eye relief is generous. Flat field technology delivers edge-to-edge clarity.

These are tripod-adaptable for digiscoping. The kit includes a hard shell case, padded strap, cross-body harness and lens covers. Backed by a lifetime manufacturer warranty. Built for birders who want performance-level glass.

Technical Details

The 8x42 pairing gives a 5.25mm exit pupil solid for low light use. ED glass reduces dispersion so colours stay accurate with no fringing at high contrast edges. Fully multi-coated optics coat every air-to-glass surface with multiple anti-reflectivity layers pushing maximum light to your eye. BaK-4 prisms with phase coatings maintain contrast and sharpness through the optical path. Flat field lenses correct field curvature so the image stays sharp right to the edges. The 140m field of view at 1000m is wide enough to track fast-moving subjects with ease.

Materials & Construction

The chassis is magnesium alloy strong and light at 768g. The objective lenses use ED extra-low dispersion glass. Prisms are BaK-4 glass with phase coatings applied. All optical surfaces carry multiple layers of anti-reflectivity coatings. The eyecups are durable metal with a twist-up mechanism. The body is fully sealed and nitrogen-filled.

Care & Cleaning

Use a blower brush before wiping lenses with a clean microfibre cloth. Store in the hard shell case when not in use. Keep the neck strap attached to avoid drops. Store in a dry place. Check the hinge tension periodically. The lifetime warranty depends on normal careful use avoid impact and never use abrasive materials on the lenses.

Frequently Asked Questions

These binoculars offer 8x magnification which gives a steadier image and wider field of view than 10x making them easier to use handheld for long periods. The 140m field of view at 1000m is well suited to tracking birds and wildlife in flight or through cover.
The 42mm objective lens produces a 5.25mm exit pupil which gathers good levels of light at dawn and dusk. ED glass combined with fully multi-coated optics and BaK-4 prisms with phase coatings maximise light transmission so images stay bright and clear as the light drops.
Yes the Regal ED 8x42 has 22.5mm of eye relief which is generous enough for most spectacle wearers to see the full field of view. The durable metal twist-up eyecups have multiple click stops so you can set the exact position that works for your glasses.
These were specifically designed with birders in mind and the 4.9-foot close focus distance means you can observe birds at very short range without losing focus. The flat field technology and ED glass deliver sharp edge-to-edge images with accurate colour which is important for identifying plumage detail.
Yes these binoculars are tripod-adaptable and can be mounted on any standard photographic tripod for extended viewing or digiscoping. A tripod adapter is sold separately and is not included in the box.
Yes they are fully waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas which prevents internal fogging when moving between temperature extremes. Celestron states the Regal ED can stand up to tough outdoor conditions making them reliable in wet UK weather.
Use a soft lens brush or blower to remove loose dust first then wipe gently with a microfibre cloth using small circular motions. Never use household cloths or paper tissues as these can scratch the multi-coated surfaces.
The binoculars come with a padded neck strap, a cross-body carry harness, a one-piece eyepiece cover, tetherable objective lens covers and a premiere quality hard shell case. A tripod adapter is not included and must be purchased separately.
