For hunters and nature-watchers, Action 8x40mm ultra-wide-view binoculars are nothing short of ideal! Large exit pupils translate into bright images at dawn and dusk when game is moving. Multi-coated, aspherical lenses and BaK-4 prisms give you bright, high-resolution images under all conditions.
Full 8X magnification will bring you closer to the action, too. With Nikon Action 8x40 ultra-wides, you'll be able to see whole kettles of hawks close up, or separate branches from antlers and get that rare shot at a trophy!
These binoculars are excellent for birding - here's why.
These binoculars are great for birding and nature viewing because of their large field of view. When selecting a pair of binoculars for birding, its good to stick with 8x power binoculars. 8x magnification power binoculars are preferred because of the balance between magnification and field of view. As a rule, you always decrease your field of view when you increase your magnification. And more magnification always results in a extra "image shake". Birders want binoculars that have a nice balance between seeing a specimen close, and seeing it without too much image shake. The more your binoculars magnify, the more the image you see bounces around when hand holding. These binoculars feature a 40mm objective lens and when combined with its 8 power magnification, this balance is achieved making them excellent for birding watching.
These binoculars are also excellent for viewing sporting events - here's why.
For most sporting events an 8 power or 10 power magnification is selected. You will get a little extra magnification when choosing a 10x power model, however in an 8x power binocular you are still magnified greatly on your subject, but get to see a wider field of view. In sporting events like football for example, you want to see the play develop. Seeing both the offense and defense in the same field of view without panning the binocular around to find the action. If you're stuck in the nose-bleed section, then you may want to consider a more powerful binocular in a 10x model. But for general sporting events this Nikon binocular is an excellent choice.
The Nikon Action 8x40 binoculars include a soft case, objective lens covers, eyepiece covers and a neck strap.
