Having a hard time choosing a pair of binoculars?

The **light-weight Kahles Helia 8x42 RF binoculars** combine the high-performance optics of the Helia 42 with hunting relevant functions such as a scan modus and angle correction. Simple and reliable target recognition up to 1500 meters, the EAC, Enhanced Angle Compensation and the intuitive controls and menu navigation have turned this pair into the perfect companion for the demanding hunter.

 The OLED screen has five clarity levels that display the distance in meters or yards. You can easily set-up the pair via the menu navigation. The distance meter on the Helia RF also has a scan mode which provides continuous distance information. A large, centrally placed focus wheel takes care of precise focus settings. Even with one hand or when wearing gloves you can easily find the wheel.

 The pair has a great design: a compact size with an open bridge and a rubber cover. The weight of the pair is only 880 grams and as such incredibly low. This low weight, in combination with the open bridge, enables you to use the pair with one hand. But not only the design is great, the optical qualities are really surprising. A clear image that is sharp almost to the edges and the colours seem very lifelike.

 The binoculars have a natural, earth colour. The body is made from magnesium and covered by vulcanized rubber. This ensures a comfortable grip. Even during long-term use, under humid conditions or in cold weather. The pair is nitrogen-filled and as such protected from condensation. The binoculars have an adjustable interpupillary distance of 58 to 72 mm. Finally, the Kahles Helia 42RF is enhanced with twist-in eye cups, with soft rubber edges. Combine it with a interpupillary distance of 18.5 mm and you will have an excellent option for spectacle wearers.

 The Helia 42RF comes with a carrier belt and objective cap. Both silent. This is key when hunting because you don't want to scare away the game. This underlines the exclusivity of this top-quality piece of optics. A pair such as this is something you purchase for life, and it is definitely worth every penny.

 ## Kahles binoculars: from Swarovski

 The name Kahles is connected to the historical production of rifle scopes by founder Karl Robert Kahles. In 1898 he produced the first rifle scope which he completely made by hand. After his passing his wife kept the company going and later on his sons. The sons decided to produce binoculars for hunting and sporting purposes. When it appeared that there were no heirs left Kahles sold the company to Swarovski. Ever since May of 1989 Kahles is an independent company within the Swarovski group.

The prism ensures that the image is projected upright onto the eye. Read more about [roof prisms](/en/ct/binoculars-glossary-roof-prism.htm) and [porro prisms](/en/ct/binoculars-glossary-porro-prism.htm). 

Prism system

tripod_mountable

If the binoculars are tripod compatible, there is a cap in the front of the binoculars. You can remove this cap and place the binoculars on a tripod adapter. The whole is placed on a tripod. With a tripod you prevent your hand from shaking. As such you have a more stable image.

value_close_focus

The close focus is the shortest distance at which you can focus your binoculars. An important specification if you want to study insects and butterflies.

Close focus

The front lens is the front lens of the objective. The diameter of the front lens is used to calculate the exit pupil, the twilight number and the brightness of the binoculars. [Read more about front lens diameter](/en/ct/binoculars-glossary-front-lens.htm).

value_exit_pupil_diam

The exit pupil is basically the circle of light produced by the binoculars that the eye has to catch. The exit pupil is calculated as follows: diameter / magnification. [Read more about exit pupil diameter](/en/ct/binoculars-glossary-exit-pupil.htm). 

Exit pupil diameter

value_eye_relief

Eye relief is the distance between the ocular lens and the exit pupil. Eye relief is particularly important for people who wear glasses because their eyes are situated further from the eye piece than people who do not wear glasses.

The interpupillary distance is the distance between the pupils of both eyes. The average distance for adults is around 65 mm. The interpupillary distance of the binoculars can be adjusted by moving both halves of the binoculars outwards or inwards accordingly. [Read more about interpupillary distance](migrated_topic_136).

value_twilight_factor

The higher the twilight factor the more details you will perceive. The twilight factor can be calculated by first multiplying the magnification by the objective lens diameter and then finding the square root of the result.
