Nikon has built a solid reputation around several of the world's most celebrated sport optics brands. Instruments of superb value for any and every need.

And this year we take pride in introducing EDG, an extraordinary new lineup of high-end binoculars, scopes and eyepieces which deliver a level of optical excellence that has to be seen to be believed.

Wherever life takes you, Nikon gives you what you need to get in there, closer, and experience the world in all its exhilarating splendour.

Why

Exacting precision across a full spectrum of optical technologies

Widely acknowledged as the global leader in precision optics, Nikon's roots go back to the development of our first binoculars in 1917. Since then, Nikon has continued to build on the knowhow of generations of optical and precision technology experts with an enduring passion for quality and innovation. Day in and day out, our products are tested in the world's most demanding environments and beyond, to outer space. Using Nikon cameras and NIKKOR lenses, photographers around the globe capture moments that no one could otherwise envision. While Nikon engineers of semiconductor-manufacturing equipment employ our optics to create the world's most precise instrumentation. For Nikon, delivering a peerless vision is second nature, strengthened over the decades through constant application. At Nikon Sport Optics, our mission is not just to meet your demands, but to exceed your expectations.

Our commitment to deliver proven, superior products

Nikon has come up with a simple rule for designing and developing our sport optics products: apply the best materials, the strictest quality controls, the most environment-sustaining engineering and superior lens coating technologies to achieve the very finest

Nikon?

optics. The benefits of this pledge have never been clearer. Maximum light transmission, superior resolution and better-defined contrast are balanced to perfection, free of aberration, in every stunning view. Because at the heart of each optical system is an invincible integrity that makes it what it is — a Nikon.

Large, diverse lineup to meet your every viewing need

Viewing distant subjects up-close with sport optics can be an exhilarating experience. The optimum experience remains a subjective one, however, with countless variables. That's why Nikon offers the most extensive line of binoculars and scopes on the market. Whether your aim is serious birdwatching, stargazing, professional sea navigation, hunting, nature watching, travel, the theatre, or just weekend fun, there's a Nikon Sport Optics model designed to meet your needs. And our ongoing collaboration with other Nikon technologies adds even further to your viewing excitement, letting you capture those precious moments with the Nikon Digiscoping System, for example, or measure distances with speed and ease using one of our laser rangefinders. Read on and discover the tools that can help you live life larger.

Performance factors

Nikon offers an extensive lineup of binoculars — including several of the world's most popular series — for a diverse range of applications. Each model features various technical specifications that can help you in making the right selection. Magnification is usually considered most important, but field of view, brightness, ease of handling (weight, feel, ergonomics), suitability for eyeglass wearers and overall construction should also be taken into account.

Magnification

Magnification, represented by a numerical value, is the relationship between a subject's actual proportions and its magnified size. With 7x magnification, for example, a subject 700 metres distant appears as it would when viewed from 100 metres with the naked eye. As a rule, magnifications of 6x to 10x are recommended for handheld outdoor use. With magnifications of 12x or greater, any shaking by hand movement is more likely to create an unstable image and uncomfortable viewing.

Field of view

All binoculars use number codes to designate various specifications. In “8x40 8.8°”, for example, “8.8°” represents the real field of view, which is the angle of the viewing field measured from the central point of the objective lens. The apparent field of view, on the other hand, conveys how wide that field of view appears to the naked eye. The real field of view at 1,000 metres listed in the specifications is the width of the visible area at a distance of 1,000 metres.

* Nikon has adopted a calculation method based on ISO 14132-1:2002, and therefore, values for the apparent field of view have changed from those previously stated. For details, see page 48.

Objective lens diameter

The objective lens diameter, combined with the quality of lens and prism coatings, determines the amount of light gathered to form an image. If you are regularly observing in poor light conditions, such as early dawn or dusk, or in forested areas, you may need a larger objective lens. But large-diameter objective lenses make binoculars heavier, so 50mm is the general limit for handheld use.

Exit pupil

The exit pupil is the image formed by the eyepiece lenses. The diameter of the exit pupil (in mm) is the effective aperture divided by the magnification. The diameter of the human eye pupil varies from 2-3mm in daylight to 7mm in the dark. An exit pupil of 7mm gives maximum light to the dilated eye and is ideal for use in the twilight and at night.

Brightness

The relative brightness value is obtained by squaring the diameter of the exit pupil. The greater the relative brightness, the brighter the image will be. However, this value does not correspond exactly to increases in brightness viewed with the naked eye because light coming through the binoculars is 100% effective only if the exit pupil is the same diameter as the pupil of the eye.

In daylight
Exit pupil diameter: 2.9mm

Pupil diameter of human eye: 2 to 3mm

In darkness
Exit pupil diameter: 2.9mm

Pupil diameter of human eye: 7mm

Exit pupil diameter: 7.1mm

Pupil diameter of human eye: 7mm

How to read the numerical information code for binoculars

All Nikon binoculars are designated with a numerical formula, such as "10x25 5.4°". The value "10x" indicates the magnification of the binoculars. If a person uses 10x binoculars to observe a wild bird from a distance of 100 metres, for example, it will appear to the observer as if he or she were viewing the bird from a distance of 10 metres (100 divided by 10 equals 10) with the naked eye.

The next number, "25", tells you that the effective diameter of the objective lens is 25mm. The greater the diameter of the objective lens, the brighter your image will be with the same illumination. (Nikon's superior lens coatings also play a vital role in improving lens brightness.) If the objective lens is too large, however, the binoculars will be heavy and may cause trembling of the hands.

Finally, the number “ 5.4^ ” represents the real field of view of the binoculars. This is the angle of the visible field, as measured from the centre of the objective lenses. The bigger the value, the easier it is to locate an object.

Understanding the meaning of these numbers should provide you with greater freedom in selecting and using binoculars.

Check the letters in the name of any Nikon binoculars — they convey helpful information about each model.

The following icons indicate the purpose for which each series is best suited:

Mountaineering, camping, hiking

Rugged outdoor activities demand portability and durability. Models that also feature rubber armouring and waterproofing are ideal when you're up against the elements.

Birdwatching, nature watching

Binoculars with a wide field of view and 7x to 10x magnification are suited for general nature viewing. Observing whales or birds at a greater distance is more comfortable with 8x to 12x magnification models. For even closer views, Fieldscopes and Spotting Scopes are recommended.

Marine sports, fishing

Waterproofing and durability are essential for these activities. Enhanced brightness and a wide field of view are desirable, too. Models that feature vibration reduction are favoured for on-board use.

Spectator sports

Binoculars that feature a wide field of view and 7x to 10x magnification are handy for fast-moving sports. Zoom-type binoculars are convenient, too, enabling quick and easy changes in magnification to suit the viewing situation.

Hunting and outdoors

Models with 8x to 10x magnification are preferred for hunting, with waterproofing and durability being further prerequisites. For early morning and evening use, binoculars with a large objective diameter and Nikon's multicoated lenses are recommended.

Travelling

Compact, lightweight models with midrange magnification and field of view are ideal for travelling.

Theatre

Compact models with magnification of 4x to 8x are recommended for theatre and concert use. To focus on a particular performer, 7x to 10x models are more appropriate.

Stargazing

Astronomical observation requires a bright optical system with a large objective diameter and exit pupil. Waterproof and aberration-corrected binoculars are preferred.

Museum

In museums, compact, lightweight models with low magnification and a close focusing distance of less than 2m are recommended.

For eyeglass wearers

Choose a high-eyepoint design so that eyeglass wearers can also enjoy a full, clear field of view.

EDG 8x32

- Nikon's legendary ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass lenses

Nikon's legendary ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass lenses effectively compensate for chromatic aberrations to provide images of superior contrast and outstanding resolution.

Field flattener lens system

Nikon's field flattener lens system technology minimises curvature of field aberrations that occur when focusing on the centre of the field of view causing the periphery to go out of focus and vice versa — and delivers sharper, clearer images all the way to the lens periphery.

- Dielectric high-reflective multilayer prism coating

Dielectric high-reflective multilayer coating is applied to a roof prism unit that does not feature total internal reflection. This boosts light reflectivity of more than 99% (designed value) for the full visible range, giving you clearer whites and a sharper, brighter, more natural vision across the entire field of view.

(For reference example only)

- Phase correction coating

Phase shift of light is caused by phase differences arising from total light reflection on a roof (Dach) surface. Phase-correction coating is applied to the surface to minimise loss of resolution, ensuring high-contrast images.

- Brighter images, even at twilight

Advanced multilayer coating is applied to all lenses and prisms to increase light transmission and to reduce flare and ghosting for super-bright, razor-sharp images, even at dawn and dusk.

- Eco-glass optics, environmentally safe materials

All lenses and prisms are free of lead and arsenic.

- Dual focus knob with dioptre adjustment

Larger focus knob for easy operation. Pull out to adjust dioptre (left), push in to focus (right).

- Turn-and-slide rubber eyecups facilitate easy positioning of eyes at the correct eyepoint

For non-eyeglass wearers, use the eyecups in the extended position. For eyeglass wearers, use them fully retracted. Eyecups can be adjusted to any of four click stops, offering fine adjustment that meets your needs.

- HighEyepoint design for a clear field of view, even for eyeglass wearers

- Horn-shaped detachable eyecups

Ergonomically designed horn-shaped eyecups block peripheral light to give you a clearer field of view.

- Comfortable, ergonomically designed strap

Designed for comfort, even during long days of use. The strap length is easily adjusted without having to remove it from your neck.

- Short bridge style for easy grip

Durable design

Sturdy, lightweight die-cast magnesium alloy body.

- Waterproof (up to 5m/16.4 ft. for 10 minutes)

Waterproof/fogproof construction features a nitrogen-filled body with 0-ring seals.

EDG 8x42

Nikon EDG Fieldscopes deliver a spectacular field of view

In pursuit of fieldscapes that would attain clear-cut superiority for both observation and digiscoping applications, our EDG design engineers put their prototypes through a comprehensive series of CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) simulations and data analysis.

These efforts paid off in a tough, finely balanced structure; a large-diameter objective lens that realises brighter images; a large focusing ring for smooth operation even during digiscoping; and a tripod mount that features finely tuned weight balance adjustments.

Moreover, the seven EDG eyepieces exhibit a quality that is no less extraordinary, all boasting a bayonet-lock design and field flattener lens system that gives you exquisite, clear viewing to the very edge of your field of view.

Binoculars

Up-close and real

Nikon binoculars have established a benchmark for extraordinary value in Sport Optics.

Building on Nikon's eminence as the global leader in precision optics, we provide binoculars for diverse applications, making it easy to select fine, brilliant optics that are ideal for your own particular needs.

High Grade

When only superior performance will do

Among Nikon's broad lineup of widely acclaimed binoculars, the six HG L series models are designed for exceptional performance and comfort. Exacting lens and prism construction ensures sharper, brighter images to intensify your viewing experience. Other aspects, such as the finely tuned mechanics and optical design, work together to reveal subtle details you'd have otherwise missed.

For bright, high-contrast images

• Nikon's original multilayer coating

Minimises flare and ghosts, for very high transmission across a wide range of wavelengths. The result: excellent contrast and colour reproduction.

• Phase correction coating

Corrects phase shifts caused when light reflects off the roof (Dach) prism. Provides a high-contrast image by eliminating the reduction of resolution.

• High-reflection silver coating

Much greater reflectivity and much less light loss from the prism, compared with ordinary aluminium coating, for brighter images.

For sharp, undistorted images

Field flattener lens

Employed for eyepiece lens. Provides images that are sharp and clear all the way to the lens periphery.

Distortion correction

Nikon's outstanding optical design provides high-level distortion correction enabling sharp, undistorted images even at the viewing area periphery.

Easy to use

High-eyepoint design

Sophisticated design technology achieves a combination of high eyepoint and small size.

• Soft-touch silicon rubber eyecup
• Turn-and-slide rubber eyecups with multi-click* facilitate easy positioning of eyes at the correct eyepoint
  Large focusing ring makes for easier operation

• Every model is waterproof up to 2m / 6.6 ft. (3m/9.8 ft. for 8x20HG L DCF/10x25HG L DCF) for 5 minutes and fog-free, with 0-ring seals and nitrogen gas

• Made with environment-friendly materials
  Non-PVC (polyvinyl chloride) materials are used for the body, eyepiece lens cap, objective lens caps, case and wide strap; Eco-glass optics free of lead and arsenic are used for all lenses and prisms

• Can be fixed to a tripod using optional tripod adaptor* (see p 48)

*Except 8x20HG L DCF/10x25HG L DCF.

Light transmission rates

Generally speaking, the higher the light transmission rate of a lens, the brighter and clearer your image will be, with less blur and ghosts. Each of Nikon's high-grade binocular models features a high light transmission rate thanks to our multilayer-coated lens and prisms.

Laser Rangefinders

The measure of excellence

Whether you're golfing, hunting or conducting forestry surveys, knowing the right distance is essential.

Acclaimed throughout the world for superior optical technologies and leading-edge design, Nikon takes pride in delivering innovative products of the very highest quality. Nikon's Laser Rangel finder lineup features a variety of models to choose from, each instrument perfectly suited to its particular purpose.

Laser Rangefinders

Laser 1000A S

Employs an innovative Active Brightness Control Viewfinder

• Advanced model designed especially for golfing and hunting. All the essential information that a golfer or hunter needs can be viewed simultaneously in the internal display.
• Active Brightness Control Viewfinder for easy, clear viewing: Orange LED is automatically turned on when it is used in darker situations and brightness of the LED is adjusted according to the surroundings.
• Easy operation enables measurement of actual distance, horizontal distances, height and slope adjusted distance (horizontal distance ± height).
• Select from two measurement modes (Target Priority Switch System):

First Target Priority mode displays the range to the nearest target among multiple results obtained with a single measurement — useful when golfing for measuring the distance to a pin on a green with woods in the background.

Distant Target Priority mode displays the range to the farthest target among multiple results obtained with a single measurement — useful when hunting in heavily wooded areas.

• Light transmittance is greatly improved for a brighter field of view.
• Larger ocular for easy viewing (18mm)
• Wider field of view (7.5 degrees)
• Longer eye relief design affords eyeglass wearers easy viewing.
• Measurement range: 10-915m/11-1,000 yd.

(See page 34 for features common to all Nikon Laser Rangefinders.)

Laser 1000A S

Active Brightness Control Viewfinder

This new system provides the advantages of both conventional segmented LED and LCD, ensuring brighter and clearer viewing with outstanding light transmittance.

This was made possible by using new technology that detects light conditions and, when necessary, automatically turns on the orange LED illumination, and adjusts its brightness for maximised visibility and contrast.

Display example in dark conditions

Display example in bright conditions

The above displays show "Horizontal distance and Height" mode. The upper figure shows the horizontal distance and the lower figure is the height.

Golf mode

Provides the "Horizontal distance ± Height" speedily enabling you to confidently determine how to approach the course. Once your sense of distance is enhanced, you can more easily achieve the correct shot.

Incline (for uphill)

Decline (for downhill)

The upper figure shows the "slope adjusted distance" and the lower figure is the "actual distance". Both are displayed simultaneously in the internal display.

Values for Apparent Field of View

With the conventional method used previously, the apparent field of view was calculated by multiplying the real field of view by the binocular magnification. After revision, Nikon's figures are now based on the ISO 14132-1:2002 standard, and obtained by the following formula:

tan ^ = ×

Apparent field of view: 2^

Real field of view: 2

Magnification:

For example, the apparent field of view of 8x binoculars with an 8.8^ real field of view is as follows:

2^ = 2× ^-1( × )
= 2× ^-1(8× 4.4^)
= 63.2^

Referring to the ISO 14132-2:2002 standard that was established at the same time as the abovementioned ISO 14132-1:2002, binoculars that provide an apparent field of view over 60^ are considered wide-viewfield binoculars.

Nikon is constantly developing new ways to prevent environmental pollution and ensure a healthier ecosystem. Back in 1998, we introduced the Nikon Basic Policy for Green Procurement, a diverse range of activities designed to reduce the environmental impact of our products. Under this policy, we employ materials, parts, and packaging items produced with special concern for the environment.

In our Environmental Action Plan for Fiscal 2005, we established the goal of completely eliminating seven harmful substances — hexavalent chrome, lead, cadmium, mercury, PBB, PBDE and polyvinyl chloride — from all Nikon consumer products by September 2005.

Nikon is also in full compliance with the EU's July 2006 RoHS (Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directive, as well as other, newer EU regulations.

We are constantly reducing waste by implementing environmental policies that extend the life of our products and simplify repairs, while minimizing energy consumption through more efficient use of power.

At Nikon, we're wholly committed to developing innovative and exciting eco-friendly products for our precious world.

Specifications and equipment are subject to change without any notice or obligation on the part of the manufacturer.
