The EDG 8x42 binocular from Nikon is a sophisticated quadrangle construction with open bridge style binocular designed to satisfy the need of the demanding enthusiast. This optic features a lightweight magnesium-alloy chassis with a sleek-lined rubber-armored body to withstand nature's toughest conditions. The binocular features advanced multi-coated optics to increase light transmission and Nikon's Die-Electric Coated prisms to produce outstanding sharpness.
Thanks to the Nikon's exclusive and legendary ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass lenses, chromatic aberration is indeed non-existent, and furthermore, the lenses enhance color fidelity. Its large 42mm objective lenses increase light gathering capability. The binocular is 100% waterproof and nitrogen-purged in a double-bridge housing to protect it against fogging during sudden temperature changes. It offers long eye-relief, which yields great comfort to all viewers including eyeglass wearers.

Comments about Nikon 8x42 EDG Binocular:
Great field of view for bird watching. Focus from near to far with minute movements of the focus wheel. Lets in lots of light so the color and feldmarks on the birds are crisp.
