Product Description

From the Manufacturer

As with the sister models of the Nikon Premier LX-L, the 8x32 and 10x32 versions feature a lightweight magnesium-alloy chassis that is O-ring-sealed and nitrogen purged for waterproof and fogproof performance. Both models of ultra-high grade, roof prism binoculars have been designed to provide the highest level of optical performance, durability and mechanical precision.

The new Premier LX-L 8x32 and 10x32 binoculars combine the latest in optical design with ultra-modern engineering technology. They join the LX 8x42 and 10x42 binoculars, which have been named "Reference Standards" by Steven Ingraham of Better View Desired and awarded "Gray's Best" by Gray's Sporting Journal.

The new LX-L 32mm features a state-of-the-art optical system, incorporating a patented eyepiece lens design for superior sharpness, clarity, and complete flatness of viewing field. Nikon's specially formulated Eco-Glass, made without the use of arsenic or lead, is used for all lenses and prisms. Fully multicoated 32mm objective lenses provide generous exit pupils for maximum brightness in any light condition. Nikon's phase-correction coatings, along with high-reflection silver prism coatings, allow superior color contrast and clear, round images free of vignetting.

Nikon LX-L 32mm binoculars offer extra-long eye relief, (16mm in both the 8x and 10x versions) to accommodate most eyewear, while user-friendly twist-out rubber eyecups enable viewers with or without glasses to easily share the same binoculars.

The LX-L series features a precise, conveniently located central focus control positioned for fast, easy focusing. A newly designed locking diopter maintains left/right vision balance.

The 8-power LX-L has a 7.8-degree angle of view and a 408-foot field of view at 1,000 yards, while the 10-power version has an angle of view of 6.5 degrees and a field of view of 340-feet at 1,000 yards. These large fields of view help users scan large areas rapidly and thoroughly and make locating subjects easy at most distances.

Both models weigh only 25.2 ounces and close-focus to less than nine feet, allowing easy portability and exceptional close-range resolution. They measure 5 by 5.4 inches.

Because many binocular users are afield in poor weather. Nikon O-ring sealed and dry nitrogen filled the LX to provide completely waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof performance. Tough protein rubber armor enhances durability and provides a sure grip--wet or dry.

Product Description

Though an 8x32 binocular is classed as a full-size model, it's a little more compact than, let's say a 7x50. This model offers an ultra wide-angle perspective that makes this ideal for birding and field viewing. It's especially useful when travelling because it doesn't occupy lots of luggage space - great for travelling light. It includes a leather case and lens protectors. Superior optics, sharp focus, and long-eye relief (for eyeglass wearers) contribute to help make the Premier LX a top performer for theater and sports viewing that's more than effective in other applications too. In the unlikely event something goes wrong with a Nikon Premier LX binocular, you can enjoy the reassurance of Nikon's 25 year Limited Warranty.
