Konus 2349 Prince 10x42mm Bak-4 Prism, Center Focus, Black/Silver Aluminum w/Rubber Armor

The Konus Prince 10x42mm binoculars bring serious optical performance to hunters, birders, and field observers who demand clarity without compromise. Built around BAK-4 prisms and phase-corrected optics, these 10-power glasses deliver up to 96% light transmission—critical when you're glassing at dawn, dusk, or under tree cover. The center focus mechanism puts sharp images right where you need them, fast and intuitive.

Build quality matters in the field, and the Prince doesn't cut corners. The aluminum body wears a protective rubber armor coating that absorbs shock and provides confident grip in wet conditions. Nitrogen-filled construction seals out moisture, so you can trust these binoculars in rain, snow, or humid environments. The open-bridge design (sometimes called open-hinge) reduces overall weight without sacrificing durability—a real advantage if you're covering ground on foot or glassing from a truck all day.

What sets the Prince apart is the "silver coating" treatment applied to the optics. Beyond standard coatings, this professional-grade refinement boosts light transmission and image contrast, giving you the kind of edge that matters when you're trying to spot game at distance or pick detail out of heavy cover. Whether you're hunting Western high country, working a bottomland timber stand, or spotting from a blind, the 10x42mm configuration balances magnification with a wide field of view and ample light gathering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these binoculars waterproof?

Yes. The Konus Prince 10x42 is sealed with nitrogen filling and designed to be fully waterproof, so they'll perform reliably in rain and wet field conditions.

What does BAK-4 prism glass mean for image quality?

BAK-4 prisms, combined with phase correction and the silver-coating treatment, deliver high contrast, bright images with minimal light loss. This is especially noticeable in low-light hunting and birding scenarios.

Is the 10x42 magnification right for hunting?

The 10x42 configuration is a versatile choice for most hunting applications. The 10-power magnification reaches out to distance, while the 42mm objective gathers plenty of light for dawn and dusk glassing. The wide field of view helps you track movement and scan terrain effectively.
