Nikon announces new SPORTSTAR EX II 8×25 and 10×25 waterproof binoculars with an updated ergonomic design that improves ease of use across a wide range of outdoor activities. Now more compact and travel friendly, the new models fit more comfortably in the hand while their waterproof construction and renowned Nikon optics ensure crisp, clear views in any weather.
From birding and nature watching to sport and marine activities, the new SPORTSTAR EX II binoculars make it even easier for users to enjoy the great outdoors. The new 8×25 model offers a more spacious viewing experience than its predecessor thanks to a wider 60.3° apparent field of view, while the 10×25 model maintains a 59.2° apparent field of view. Thanks to Nikon’s multilayer coating, each model provides a crisp, high-contrast view regardless of magnification choice.
Both the SPORTSTAR EX II 8×25 and 10×25 binoculars come ready for changeable weather, with a nitrogen-filled construction that prevents internal fogging, and they are waterproof up to 1 m for 10 minutes. A dual-hinge design allows users to fold these binoculars down small for easy portability, and rubber armour provides a firm, comfortable grip.
Elena Korotiy, Senior Manager Sport Optics Nikon Europe says: “SPORTSTAR EX binoculars have been popular for 20 years now. The previous models proved themselves in the field, and the new SPORTSTAR EX II models are building on that success with refined ergonomics that improve handling and comfort. Plus, the wider field of view on the 8×25 model makes it much easier for users to track subjects on the move.”
