Clarity, refined.
The Fujinon HC 8×42 and HC 10×42 are premium Japanese-built ED roof-prism binoculars, engineered for serious birdwatchers, naturalists and outdoor observers across Australia.
Hand-built in Japan. Designed for a lifetime of mornings, evenings and everything in between.
Premium ED binoculars, refined down to the last millimetre.
Every choice in the Fujinon HC series, from the glass to the prism coatings to the magnesium chassis, is made in service of one thing: an image so honest you forget the binocular is there.
Extra-low dispersion glass. Practically zero colour fringing.
ED lens elements paired with lanthanum-glass eyepieces suppress chromatic and spherical aberration so subjects sit on a clean, true-colour background, edge to edge.
Fujinon SUPER EBC.
Signature multi-coating on every air-to-glass surface, for higher light transmission.
Prism reflectance.
Phase-corrected, dielectric-coated Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms preserve image brightness right to your eye.
Magnesium-alloy body.
Hand-built in Fujinon's Omiya factory. Lightweight, rigid and quietly serious.
Waterproof & fog-proof.
Nitrogen-purged and O-ring sealed. Submersible 1m for 5 minutes; ready for any Australian weather.
Nine ED elements. Seven groups. One uncompromised view.
Every element in the Fujinon HC optical path is positioned to control distortion across the entire image circle, not just the centre. The result is bright, edge-to-edge sharpness that holds true from the heart of the field right out to the very edge - ideal for tracking fast-moving birds in flight or scanning bushland for movement at dawn.
Engineered to disappear into the conditions you take it through.
A nitrogen-purged, O-ring sealed magnesium-alloy chassis, waterproof to one metre and fog-resistant across rapid temperature shifts. Water-repellent coatings on both objectives and eyepieces shed rain and sea spray, while a slip-resistant elastomeric grip keeps the binocular under confident control with one hand, with or without gloves.
Filter threads, for casual binocular astronomy.
M46 × 0.75 threaded objectives accept polariser, neutral-density and even narrowband nebula filters - rare in a birding-grade binocular. The same Fujinon HC you use for the dawn chorus can pull detail out of the Southern Hemisphere Milky Way, the Magellanic Clouds and bright nebulae like Eta Carinae after dark.
Highlights
Everything that makes the Fujinon HYPER-CLARITY HC a serious birding and travel binocular, in one quick scan.
Available in 8×42 and 10×42 with 42 mm ED objective lenses

Kowa Prominar XD Lenses
Kowa's XD Lenses (eXtra-low) dispersion glass with similar characteristics to fluorite crystal) combines with a special dispersion concave lens to reduce a very high percentage of chromatic aberration for the ultimate viewing experience.
Schmidt-Pechan Roof Prism Lens and C3 Coating
Kowa's roof prism binoculars use a Schmidt-Pechan prism. With the highly reflective C3 coating application, this increases reflectivity by 99% or higher reflectance rate across the entire visible spectrum (400-700nm). This not only provides bright and sharp images, but also accurate color reproduction.
Thixomolded Magnesium Alloy Body
A magnesium alloy body is formed using a sophisticated thixomolding technology to deliver the benefits of a high strength metal body but in a lightweight magnesium alloy structure. The durability and reliability of these binoculars can withstand the most severe conditions to provide users the greatest degree of confidence and security.
Kowa's KR Coating
Kowa's KR coating protects the lenses from dirt and other foreign residues that may affix to the lenses during normal use. Fingerprints or oil can easily be removed with the proper lens cleaning techniques.
All-Surface Multi-Coating
The all-surface multi-coated optical system provides a precise color definition for a brighter and sharper image.
Waterproof and Fogproof
The housing is waterproof to JIS Protection Class 7 and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent internal fogging to ensure image clarity.
Twist-Up Eyecups
Twist-up multi-step eyecups allow customization for easy viewing even when wearing eyeglasses.
