Product Description
Canon 18x50 IS Binoculars deliver truly outstanding optical performance and a well-stabilized - high-magnification view Whether at the water's edge enjoying a boat race or high on a stadium's uppermost deck - the 18x50 IS binoculars put you right in the middle of the action with extreme intimacy The 18x50 IS are great for big game hunters - spectators of extremely distant sports such as surfing or extreme skiing - or anyone hunkering for incredible pulling power that can actually be enjoyed without the use of a tripod The design is water resistant - with a tripod socket - as extended periods of observation are best enjoyed with some form of supportThe 18x50 IS were not designed to be habitually worn around the neck - but if you prefer to carry your binoculars in this manner - then consider a thick neoprene strap instead of the supplied flat woven strap If you'll be using these binoculars in cold weather - it is highly recommended to use lithium batteries (optional) instead of alkalineThe 18x50 IS are threaded to accept 58mm filters - which is convenient for using polarizers around water - but this also means that during extremely bright or humid conditions - you can use a pair of 58mm lens hoods to help shield the objective lenses from dew and stray light - thus improving contrast
