Customer Reviews

Far Superior to My Previous Binoculars
I bought these to replace a cheap $20 pair of binoculars that were stolen out of my car. The thief did me a big favor. He can ruin his vision with those old binoculars. My new Nikons are far superior. They have a much sharper image, are easier to focus and they hold their focus. They also feel comfortable in my hands. At $73 and free shipping you can't go wrong. They also include a nice nylon case and neck strap. BTW, I debated on whether to go with the 10X power (i.e. 10x25) binoculars and I'm glad that I didn't. The 8X binoculars are more than powerful enough for concerts and sporting events. The higher the power, the harder it is to hold the image steady and the narrower the field of view. More isn't always better.

Superior optics, excellent construction - very lightweight!
I've been an avid Nikon user for over 30 years, but had never purchased a decent set of binoculars before - THESE ARE AMAZING - especially for the price. Lightweight, but feel good in the hands. Very bright and easy to focus. I'm really impressed.

Stellar Choice
I bought these to take to Africa on safari. They are incredibly easy to hold steady, focus and produce an image that staggered me in its sharpness. They are so light you almost don't know they are there. I also own a pair of Zeiss 10X50,they are nice but very heavy and I would rather have my Nikon binocs any day. Great product at a great price.
