Nikon Action EX 16X50 Binoculars

Nikon Action EX 16X50 Binoculars Overview

To help mitigate the disorientation often experienced when looking through binoculars on the water, the Action Extreme has a generous field of view and exceptional eye relief that provides the room to back the eyes off the eyepieces for a more comfortable viewing position. The traditional Porro prism design, when combined with the over-sized objective lenses, BAK4 prism glass, and anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics, delivers immersive high-contrast views that are bright and sharp, with accurate colours and a rich depth of field so users can differentiate the relative distance between objects in the view.

Complementing this optical performance are design details that allow the Action Extreme to withstand the rigours of outdoor life and make their use easier in extreme conditions. The Porro prism design has an inherently balanced and comfortable feel in the hand for long-duration observation sessions. Rubber armour protects the chassis and provides a sure and reliable grip in cold and wet weather, while the large centre focus wheel is likewise rubberized, and the right-eye dioptric correction is adjusted using a thumb lever—instead of a conventional ring—to make them easier to use when wearing gloves. Their optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperatures and environmental conditions. A tethered one-piece ocular rain guard covers the eyecups as they hang around the neck and prevent rain and spraying water from filling them, and the objective lens caps can clip onto the neck strap to keep them safe from blowing overboard or being lost on the forest floor.
