Anti-reflective sunshade for 42mm binoculars

The Carson BX-42 FlashShield clips onto the objective lenses of 42mm binoculars to reduce glare and lens reflection. Its honeycomb baffle structure blocks stray light that would otherwise wash out the image. The shade also protects the front glass from scratches and dust during outdoor use. Installation requires no tools and takes seconds per side.

Hunters, birdwatchers

Users who want to hide lens flash from game or birds will benefit from the anti-reflective honeycomb. Observers working in bright sun gain a usable shade without adding bulk. Buyers with binoculars smaller or larger than 42mm cannot use this model. Anyone requiring a permanent built-in hood or a flip-up mechanism should look elsewhere.

42mm objective fit

The shade is sized exclusively for 42mm objective lenses. Clip dimensions match that diameter so the baffle sits flush and seals out peripheral light. If your binoculars have a different front diameter the accessory will not attach securely. No adapter rings or alternative sizes are supplied.

Questions about this item

How much glare does the 42mm FlashShield cut when I glass all day?

The honeycomb baffle blocks direct sun and stray light from hitting the objective lenses, so glare stays low even during long sessions.

What must my binoculars have for these shades to clip on?

They fit 42mm objective lenses; the flexible clips stretch over the front rim of each barrel.

Will the BX-42 shades interfere with the focus wheel or eyecups on my older 42mm binocular?

They sit forward of the objectives, leaving the focus wheel, dioptre and eyecups fully accessible.
