Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

A day at the races isn't complete without Nikon's officially licensed NASCAR 10 x 25 binocular. The solid performance isn't confined to just racing; it can perform just as well at a night at the opera. Solidly built, with a multicoated lens, the binocular provides 10x magnification for bringing the action up-close and a large 25mm objective lens that gathers a lot of light for a sharp, clear image. The ultrawide field of view gives great peripheral vision so you can keep track of other racecars.

The central focusing is quick and responsive so you won't miss a moment, and it also focuses to just 11.4 feet. The twist-out eyecups retract for users wearing eyeglasses, and you will be comfortable using the binoculars all day thanks to the diopter control. The sturdy body is water-resistant and a light 10.4 ounces, so you can be at ease carrying around this durable binocular that fits in your shirt pocket.

I recently took these little binoculars to the theater for a performance where I had balcony seats. The balcony at this theater is particularly high and I opted to use these rather than my "opera glasses". What a pleasure! I could see the entire stage and felt as though I was front row center. I normally wear glasses but with these, I can take my glasses off and see with no prblem whatsoever. I am very pleased with the clarity, small size and convenience of this product.

3.0 out of 5 stars Small and light but optically not up to Nikon's standards, September 12, 2002

I was attracted by the power (10X), size and weight. The NASCAR cache didn't hurt either - I think they may become collectable. However, these are neither the sharpest nor the brightest (even at high noon) binoculars I have ever owned. I expected much more from the Nikon name. They come with lens caps and a decent soft pouch so they didn't scripm on the accessories, but the image quality is definitely not as good as a similarly priced pair of 8X Nikon binoculars I bought a few years back. What may have really spoiled me is a pair of Leica 8X's I tried at a local camera store. The pair was significantly more expensive and not waterproof but the image quality was many times better; sharper and with higher overall contrast. For the price, this pair represents fair value but don't expect to get that legendary Nikon image quality. If these will become your only binoculars, I suggest you keep shopping.

Got this after I tried a couple of Meade binoculars. Came with a nice little pouch. Nicely coated lenses with good, clear image, even though the Brightness Index is only 6.25(by dividing the magnification, 10, into the objective lens diameter, 25, then find the square of the quotient. A BI of around 50 means the image you see thru the binocular is as bright as if you look with naked eyes. A standard for night time use.)

I believe it's water proof or at least splash proof, though never tested it for that. I'd wish the body were made out of metal instead plastic. But I guess for the price ... that's too much to ask for. Overall I'm quite satisfied.
