Frequently Aksed Questions about Zen-Ray Binoculars

Q. What's the difference between ZEN ED2 and ZEN ED binoculars.

A. The new ZEN ED2 is built upon the original ZEN ED platform by incorporating several advanced technologies on three models – ZEN ED2 8x43, 10x43 and 7x36.

The backbone of the ZEN ED2, prism coating, is significantly enhanced with the state of the art dielectric prism coating to maximize the total light transmission.  The coating was engineered with 40+ layers of nanoscale film with precise thickness control. Unlike metallic prism coating, our dielectric coating offers a superiorly flat curve, averaging 99% rate of reflectivity throughout visible spectrum range.  As a result, the users are able to enjoy a brighter image with a better balanced color tone.  A proprietary new Speed-Dial TM focusing mechanism with 30% faster focus rate is also developed exclusively by Zen-Ray to allow users to better track fast moving objects out in the field. The ZEN ED2 binoculars are designed to use under the most adverse weather conditions with its Argon noble gas charged waterproof chassis and new build-in CrystalView TM oil and water repellent coating
