Buy the Bresser Pirsch ED 8x42 binoculars – the bright all-round binocular with ED glass (extra low dispersion)
The Bresser Pirsch ED 8x42 is a bright, weatherproof binocular for hunting, hiking and nature observation. ED glass (extra low dispersion) reduces colour fringing at contrast edges and, together with the phase and dielectric coatings, delivers colour-true, high-resolution images – visibly sharper than simpler binoculars in the same class. With a 125 m field of view at 1'000 m, a 5.25 mm exit pupil and a weight of 615 g, the 8x42 is a bright companion for dusk and distance. Fully waterproof and argon-filled, the Bresser Pirsch ED 8x42 withstands rain, fog and temperature changes – a reliable companion for hunters, hikers and nature lovers in Switzerland.

ED glass – why the Bresser Pirsch ED 8x42 delivers especially colour-pure images
ED glass (extra low dispersion) minimises chromatic aberration: at high-contrast edges – such as a dark branch against a bright sky – non-ED optics produce coloured fringes that reduce detail and sharpness. The Bresser Pirsch ED 8x42 uses ED glass with phase and dielectric coatings to deliver colour-true, brilliant, high-contrast images right to the edge of the field – complemented by BaK-4 glass material and fully multi-coated optics.
8x42 – brightness and reach for demanding observation
The 42 mm objective gathers significantly more light with a 5.25 mm exit pupil and a twilight factor of 18.3 – ideal for observation at dusk, in the forest or under overcast skies. Despite the bright optics, the Bresser Pirsch ED 8x42 stays well balanced at 615 g.
Waterproof and argon-filled – built for the outdoors
The Bresser Pirsch ED 8x42 is fully waterproof (IPX7) and filled with dry argon. Whether a rain shower on the high seat, fog in the valley or a quick temperature change between car and field: the optics will not fog up inside. The rubber armour protects against impact and ensures a secure grip, even when wet or with gloves. The 3-step twist-up eyecups make the binocular comfortable for eyeglass wearers too.
