Why Nikon? Exacting precision across a full spectrum of optical technologies Widely acknowledged as the global leader in precision optics, Nikon's roots go back to the development of our first binoculars in 1917. Since then, Nikon has continued to build on the knowhow of generations of optical and precision technology experts with an enduring passion for quality and innovation. Day in and day out, our products are tested in the world's most demanding environments.
Binocular basics Performance factors Nikon offers an extensive lineup of binoculars — including several of the world´s most popular series — for a diverse range of applications. Each model features various technical specifications that can help you in making the right selection. Magnification is usually considered most important, but field of view, brightness, ease of handling (weight, feel, ergonomics), suitability for eyeglass wearers and overall construction should also be taken into account.
