Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Nikon has updated its popular zoom binocular, the 8-24x25 Eagleview. This sleek, compact adventure binocular was designed to become a favored companion of knowledgeable travelers--whether theyÕre heading to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, the beaches of the French Riviera or the wilds of the Peruvian Amazon. It's available in either black or silver.

The 2005 Nikon 8-24x25 Eagleview Zoom model includes new ergonomic styling to allow a better, more comfortable grip on the dual-hinge polycarbonate body. Nikon has retained all of the user-friendly features that have made the Eagleview one of the most popular and versatile zoom binoculars on the planet:

• Turn and slide rubber eyecups allow the user to quickly achieve the eye relief necessary for optimum viewing, with or without eyeglasses.
• An exclusive, centrally located zoom control lever that enables the user to select any magnification from 8 power to 24 power with the push of a finger.
• Bright, sharp Nikon multicoated lenses and high index BaK4 prisms provide true color rendition and crisp, clear viewing.

Measuring just 4.7 x 4.3 inches and weighing only 12.5 ounces, the Eagleview Zoom is sized to fit in a coat pocket, purse or glove box. The binocular provides a 240 foot field of view at 1,000 yards when set on eight power, and possesses a 4.6 degree field of view at 8x, as well.

Like all Nikon Binoculars, the Eagleview Zoom is covered by Nikon's 25-year limited warranty and No-Fault Repair/Replacement Policy.

I ordered these binoculars for my husband's birthday. They arrived promptly and in excellent condition; well packed. We both were surprised by how powerful they are and easy to use, WOW! Very, very pleased. They are very light weight (nice for these old arthritic arms and hands). The only possible drawback is that they are not waterproof and need to be kept dry at all times, so DH will not be able to take them along on fishing trips unless he double zipper lock bags them.

This was a great purchase for my purposes - birding and wildlifing. I had to get used to turning the center-focus with ring finger, as the zoom lever is in the index-finger position. To use full zoom, you really need total stability, but half zoom is very useful even from a moving kayak. Right-eye focus ring is right up against the eyecups and hard to move unless you twist open the eyecups, in which case the focus ring is fine. Focus crispness is not quite what I hoped for at full zoom, but still good for seeing field marks. One big advantage is the light weight. This set is as light as the smaller Nikon I lost. Very nice!
