The Nikon advantage
Superior optics and design innovations ensure better views.
A tradition of viewing excellence
Nikon's uncompromising commitment to quality has been in
evidence since its founding in 1917 when the company first began
making fine binoculars for discerning users.
Binoculars — the foundation of Nikon's business
The following year, Nikon exported over 15,000 high-quality prism binoculars to
England, France, the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. In 1922, Nikon collaborated with
German engineers to produce historic compact prism binoculars such as the
Mikron 4xand 6x, and later the Orion 6x24, 8x26 and Nova series in 1923.
Nikon —a leader in optics
Three years after the end of World War II, Nikon introduced a new Mikron series,
including a CF version of the Mikron 6x15. An elegant chrome finish
complemented the high-tech design.
Nikon creates a "new look" in binocular design
In 1964, Nikon developed the first fashion binoculars — compact models that combined
improved grip and operational comfort with superb optical performance.
1978 marked the introduction of the futuristic Compact Roof (Dach) Series 6x, 7x,
8x20DCF —sharp, compact, lightweight roof (Dach)-prism binoculars. They were
immortalised in 1980 when they were included in the permanent collection at the Museum of
Modern Art in New York.
Then, in 1982 Nikon developed the 8x23CF and 10x25CF binoculars in collaboration with
well-known industrial designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro.
A fusion of technology and tradition
Nikon binoculars’superb handling, sturdy construction and stylish design are the result of
state-of-the-art computer graphics renderings based on analysis of input specifications.
Nikon applied the highest optical technologies in developing the 8x42HG DCF/10x42HG DCF
binoculars, introduced in 1997. With the debut in 2002 of the 8x32HG DCF/10x32HG DCF
and 8x20HG DCF/10x25HG DCF HG series binoculars, Nikon made its lineup of high-grade
binoculars even more complete.

Nikon HG series binoculars use the best optical technologies
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 superb 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.
The meaning of numbers found on 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. 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 actual 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.
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 lenses
and prisms.

Fieldscopes
All lenses, prisms and dustproof glass in
a Nikon Fieldscope are mulitilayer
coated for superior optical performance.
Nitrogen gas-filled bodies make the
scopes waterproof and fog-free. ED glass
in some models minimises chromatic
aberration to keep images sharp.

Stargazing
Astronomical observation requires a bright optical system with large
objective diameter and exit pupil. Waterproof and aberration-corrected
binoculars are most suitable.
Spectator sports
Binoculars featuring a wide field of view and 7x to 10x magnification
are recommended for fast-moving sports. Zoom-type binoculars are
convenient, enabling quick and easy change of magnification according
to the viewing situation.
Mountaineering, camping, hiking
Rugged outdoor activities demand portability and durability. Models that
also feature rubber armouring and waterproofing are ideal.
Marine sports, fishing
Waterproofing and durability are critical for these activities. High
brightness and a wide field of view are also desirable. Models featuring
vibration reduction are convenient for on-board use.
Hunting and outdoor
Models with 8x to 10x magnification are suitable for hunting, with
waterproofing and durability being further prerequisites. For early
morning and evening use, binoculars with a large objective diameter are
recommended.
Birdwatching, nature viewing
Wide field of view and 7x to 10x magnification models are suited for
general nature viewing. Observing whales or birds at the seaside is more
comfortable at 8x to 12x magnification. Fieldscopes and Spotting Scopes
are recommended for even closer views.
Museum
In museums, compact and lightweight models with lower magnification
and a close focusing distance of less than 2m are desirable.
Theatre
Compact models featuring magnification from 4x to 8x are
recommended for theatre use. To focus on a particular performer at a
concert, 7x to 10x models are suitable.
Travelling
Compact, lightweight models featuring moderate magnification and field
of view are ideal for travelling.
