Roof Binoculars WD76 8x42 Black/Green
The WD76 8x42 is a roof prism binocular with a centre focus system, available in black or green+black finish. It is built in the Chongqing factory and can be supplied as a non-waterproof model or as a nitrogen filled waterproof version rated IPX6~IPX7. The optical system is shared between both versions, so performance differences are limited to the internal sealing and nitrogen fill. Standard build uses BK7 prisms and green+blue coating, but BAK4 and alternative coatings are available.

Compared With Other Models

- Non-waterproof WD76 8x42
- The non-waterproof version has no nitrogen fill and is only daily-life water resistant; it will fog in temperature changes and fail if submerged
- WD67 8x42
- The WD67 is nitrogen filled and IPX7 rated; the WD76 waterproof version is rated IPX6~IPX7, which is similar but not identical in test conditions
- Porro prism models like WP48 10x50
- The porro gathers more light through a larger objective but is bulkier and not available in a waterproof version with nitrogen fill
Use Guide
- Roof Binoculars WD76 8x42 Black/Green: Adjust the barrel spacing until the two images merge into one circle
- Close the right eye and focus the centre wheel until the left image is sharp
- Close the left eye and turn the right dioptre ring until that side matches
- Twist the eyecups down when wearing glasses and up when not
- Rinse salt spray off with fresh water and dry the body before storage
- Do not submerge non-waterproof versions in water; they will become unusable
