Bring REAL to Life With a sharp, clear image throughout the entire field of view, you can feel reality, as though you are actually right in front of nature’s beautiful colours. Nikon gives you the excitement and joy of feeling “real” which you have never before experienced.
Pure Optical Performance Three key factors that produce reality: 1 Nikon’s original optical design software Incorporating precisely calculated measures that prevent flare and ghosting, Nikon’s original optical design software is used to realise an ideal view. 2 Proven optical technology Since its founding in 1917, Nikon and its group companies have continued to develop and improve proprietary, comprehensive lens design processes including developing glass materials and glass fusing technologies.
Binocular basics Objective lens diameter The objective lens diameter, combined with the quality of lens and prism coatings, determines the amount of light gathered to form an image. If you are regularly observing in poor light conditions, such as early dawn or dusk, or in forested areas, you may need a larger objective lens. But large-diameter objective lenses make binoculars heavier, so 50mm is the general limit for handheld use.
