Spec correction and Five Stars - 02/02/2010

starstarstarstarstar by John Hiles from Monterey, CA

I suspect that this Nikon is a renamed LX L 8x42. If so, the field spec is wrong. Mine are marked 7 degrees and that comes to about 368 feet at 1000 yards. I didn't want anyone considering a very fine value to be put off by what may be a typo. Check with the helpful staff at E.O. to confirm the field of view. I really have enjoyed this binocular for the last three years and recommend it for birding, nature, and general use. Ergonomics, optics, and finish are comparable to other top of the line binocs (Z, L, and Sw) available over the past 3-5 years.

Very Satisfied Owner - 12/23/2009

starstarstarstarstar by Charles Bethel from Maryland

I have owned this binocular for about 2 1/2 years (the model name may have changed since then). Bought for birding, I've also used it for many sporting events. I purchased it without hands-on comparisons with competing brands, except for Leica, but have no regrets. I've had Nikon camera gear for years and trust their optics. Most outstanding features for me are brightness, speed and accuracy of focusing, feel of the binocular in the hands, and overall build quality. I'm a glasses wearer and find the setup perfect, in that when looking through the binocular I'm not aware I'm wearing them. Most friends who try them after only using "good" binoculars say "Wow!", which is what I said when I first looked through them.

Nikon Premier - 08/25/2009

starstarstarstarstar by John Groves from El Paso, TX

I just got the Nikon 8x42 Premier binocular and am extremely satisfied. This is a re-branding of the familiar Nikon LXL line of binoculars and retains all of the specs. Apparently when Nikon added the EDG to their product line they renamed the LXL simply calling it Premier.
The 8x42 has an eye relief of 20 mm which is ideal for those of us with deep-set eyes and glasses. Other features are the silky-smooth focus knob. These bins are FAST! From close in to infinity take less than a full turn. I'm on fast-moving warblers faster than any of my colleagues. The resolution is outstanding and crisp from center to edge and the flat-field performance is possibly the best in the industry. For general birding I prefer this bino to any I've tried and I've looked through a lot!
