Binoculars Knight 8x32 D-ED
Awarded 2018 Best Travel and Safari Binoculars By BBR “Among the very best mid-sized binoculars that I have EVER used: SNYPEX® Knight® D-ED 8X32 Binocular”. According to BestBinocularsReviews
Compact D-ED 8X32 Binoculars
"The perfect mid-sized binocular is one that gets as close as physically possible to delivering the same image quality and brightness as that of an equal quality full-sized version, but at the same time is also as near as possible in size and weight as a full compact instrument.
This ideal is in no ways easy to achieve and is why I use it as the biggest indicator of what separates the very best mid-sized bins from the rest." According to BestBinocularsReviews. Read full review : https://www.bestbinocularsreviews.com/SnypexKnightD-ED8x32BinocularsReview-202.htm
The SNYPEX Knight D-ED 8x32 Dielectric Optical Binocular is a compact fog and waterproof binocular with an outstanding close focus of just 3.92 ft. It features Bak-4 prisms with precision crafted ED glass. Fully multi-coated optics and phase correction coatings enable a wide field of view. This binocular delivers true-to-life images with startling clarity, color accuracy, and excellent brightness in all environments. All SNYPEX Knight D-ED Binoculars are protected with a durable armored rubber housing to absorb shocks.

Interpupillary Distance
The distance between your eyes and in particular the centers of your pupils varies from person to person, in optics this is described as your Interpupillary Distance (IPD).
What’s in the Box: Binocular, Eyepiece Lens Cap, Objective Lens Caps, Neck Strap, Hard Case with Carrying Strap, Soft Cleaning Cloth, Warranty Card, and Instructions.
ED vs D-ED
The first and probably the most significant point to note is that whilst very similar, Snypex have changed the name slightly (from Knight ED) to Knight D-ED (more on that below) and so I guess technically these are a different product. Indeed you can still buy both versions and if I am not mistaken they are still producing the older "ED" and this newer ED-D version.
Water Repellent Lens Coatings
Also new is the addition of a water repellent coatings to the exterior lens surfaces. This is another small but important upgrade and which also shows an increasing level to the small details from Snypex.
Optics - Summary
To to summarize, the optical system has been enhanced with the addition of superior dielectric coatings on the prisms and the addition of the water repellent coatings. Other than that it looks to be the same. This is excellent as you can see from the summary below and with these inclusions this optical system is for the most part on a par with the very best:
Extra Low Dispersion (ED) Glass Lens Elements
APO (apochromatic) Lens Design
Fully Multi-Coated Optics
Water repellent coatings on exterior lens surfaces
Bak4 Roof PrismsPhase Coated
Dielectric Mirror Coatings
Body - Highlights & Main Points
Open Bridge Design
Magnesium & Aluminium Chassis
Hard but thin rubber armour - making it tough and longer lasting, but provides less protection than softer and thicker rubbers
Tripod adaptable - can attach tripod adapter to either of the hinges
Waterproof tested to 1 meter for 15 minutes
Nitrogen gas filling for fogproofing of internal lens surfaces
Diopter Adjustment
Also made from Aluminium, the diopter ring used to calibrate the binoculars changes very slightly in that it is now a silver rather than black, which ties in very nicely with the focus wheel.
Warranty Upgrade
To show just how much Snypex LLC believe in their products, they have now extended their 5 Years warranty to 25 Years on all their binoculars which can only be a good thing..
Accessories:
The accessories that come with these Snypex Knight D-ED binoculars largely remain unchanged, apart from two quite important upgrades:
Neck Strap
The neck straps now come with easy fasten quick-release clips.
This is for me a great addition as this design enables you to quickly remove the main padded part from the instrument should you need to without having to re-thread the straps through the eyelets again which is quite time consuming and if you have done it as many times as I have, a real pain!
What is more, once you have uncoupled and removed the main padded section, you can then reconnect the now much shorter parts of the strap that are still fixed to the binocular and create a hand strap which works really well.
For me not only is this an extremely useful feature as I often don't care for the added clutter of a full neck strap, but once again to me, it shows some great attention to detail form Snypex.
