Nikon Premier SE 10x42 Binocular

These binos are simply amazing. Depth of field, sharpness, light gathering, and focus are all great. I've owned this bino (Superior E, same as the renamed Premier SE) for about 12 years, and its survived every antelope, elk, and deer hunting season since I bought them: they've been packed along on every backpacking trip, every camping trip, every road trip - and still the Nikons work as good as new. Supposedly these are not waterproof but I've had them in downpours (with lens cover only) and they've been fine. These are the binos all my friends ask to borrow when we're spotting animals, birds, or simply the view. From little Calliope hummingbirds at 6 feet to Elk on the distant ridges, the quality is as good as I've ever seen. Even my buddy with his Leicas likes the depth of field from the Nikon porro prism design better. Simply an exceptional product.
