Buyer's Guide

How to Read 8x42

Four numbers tell you most of what a binocular will do.

Every Leica binocular, scope and rangefinder is described by the same few numbers. Once you can read them, a spec sheet becomes a quick answer to where and when a model will shine.

  • Magnification × objective. 8x42 means the view is eight times closer, through front lenses 42 mm across. More magnification brings more reach but a narrower view, and it shows more hand shake.
  • Exit pupil. The objective divided by the magnification: 42 ÷ 8 = 5.25 mm. The larger the exit pupil, the brighter the image at dawn and dusk. The 7 mm of an 8x56 reaches into deep twilight.
  • Twilight factor. The square root of magnification × objective, as Leica prints it on every data sheet. The higher the number, the more detail you can make out in low light: 18.3 for an 8x42, 20.5 for a 10x42.
  • Field of view. How wide a scene you see, given as feet at 1,000 yards. Lower magnification means a wider view, which makes it easier to find a bird and follow it.
