Canon. A passion for perfection.

The legendary L Lens.

The bright red line engraved on the lens barrel is the signature of the Canon L Lens. L-series Lenses are on a level above the rest, possessing groundbreaking image performance, outstanding operability and resistance to weather and aging. Canon’s L Lenses are well known by professional photographers around the world for their innovative optical design, exceptional

quality and brilliant clarity. Canon has equipped its new top-of-the-line model, the 10x42L IS WP, with extraordinary L-series technology. Manufactured to provide superior image quality throughout the entire viewing area, two Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) elements on each side give you a bolder, brighter view than can be achieved with conventional optics found in ordinary binoculars. With them, you’ll see more of your subject, more clearly.

The genius is in the details.

Each Canon binocular has been engineered to deliver performance that will impress. The state-of-the-art optical technology from Canon’s world-renowned EF Lens series has been carefully adapted especially for use in several Canon binocular models,

offering unparalleled resolution. Also Super Spectra Coating increases image contrast and reduces lens flare and ghosting in many Canon binoculars. In addition, Canon uses

Aspherical elements in several of its designs to assure sharper focus while dramatically cutting distortion. Technologies like these enable Canon binoculars to perform

at an extraordinarily high standard.
