Like most Kamakura binoculars, it's easy to love the Japanese-made MR4 series.
It is a relatively lightweight modern series of binoculars with large eyepieces, straight, flexible eyecups with an intermediate position, easy-to-work and precise focusing and an elegant grippy rubber housing. Diopter adjustment is traditionally done via a ring on the right eyepiece. The binocular housings are nitrogen filled for full tightness. The ED glasses with good anti-reflective treatment provide a very good image reproduction with high contrast and good color reproduction. The 8x42 MR4 is the brightest in the family, with a large field of view and relatively low weight, and is therefore excellent for all types of bird watching.
