The SIG Sauer CANYON HD 12x50 Binoculars in Flat Dark Earth, part number SOZC0002, are the reach model in SIG's most affordable line, putting 12x magnification on 50mm objectives over a 5-degree field of view (approximately 87 m at 1,000 m) at 798 g (28.14 oz) — for long-range fox and vermin spotting and open-ground deer watching where 10x runs out of detail.
It carries the fuller of the two CANYON HD coating packages: HD Glass™, LensArmor™, LenShield™ and Spectracoat™ through Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms. Twist-up eye cups give 15mm of eye relief, the non-locking dioptre offers +/- 4 of adjustment, and interpupillary adjustment spans 60mm to 78mm — the broadest range SIG offers. The rubber-armoured thermoplastic body is IPX-7 rated, measures approximately 173 x 60 x 136 mm (6.80 x 2.38 x 5.35 in) and focuses down to 2.8 m; a shoulder harness strap and foam carrying case are supplied.
How It Compares
The CANYON HD 12x50 is the reach model in SIG SAUER's most affordable line, and it carries a fuller coating package than the CANYON HD 10x42 — HD Glass, LensArmor, LenShield and SpectraCoat against the 10x42's LensArmor and SpectraCoat alone. It focuses to 2.8 m, has the widest interpupillary range in the SIG catalogue at 60mm to 78mm, and comes in at 798 g. Against the magnesium-chassis ZULU4 HD 12x50 it saves around 156 g and a good deal of money; against the metal-chassis ZULU8 HDX 12x50 it gives up the locking dioptre and a wider field.
