Canon 18x50 IS Binoculars

Canon 18x50 IS Binoculars offer remarkable optical performance and a steady, high-magnification view. Whether you're at the beach watching a boat race or up in the top tier of a stadium, these binoculars will make you feel like you're right in the middle of the action. They're ideal for big game hunters, spectators of far-off sports such as surfing or extreme skiing, or anyone who wants to enjoy incredible zoom power without needing a tripod. The design is water-resistant and has a tripod socket, so you can use a tripod for extended periods of observation.

The 18x50 IS were not designed to be habitually worn around the neck, but if you prefer to carry your binoculars in this manner, then consider a thick neoprene strap instead of the supplied flat woven strap. If you'll be using these binoculars in cold weather, it is highly recommended to use lithium batteries (optional) instead of alkaline.

The 18x50 IS are threaded to accept 58mm filters, which is convenient for using polarizers around water, but this also means that during extremely bright or humid conditions, you can use a pair of 58mm lens hoods to help shield the objective lenses from dew and stray light, thus improving contrast.
