Nikon Action 7-15x35 Reviews

Brand name binocular, superb optics, really great price!

I've owned several binoculars prior to this type, this is my 2nd Nikon, the first one being the regular Action 7X35. As with any Nikon optical product, the optics of these binoculars are superb. The Bak-4 High Index Prism optics offer sharp,detailed images with little or no distortion. And the sharpness is amazing. The optics enhances the images and with the 7-15x magnification, there is very little you cannot magnify. As with all binoculars that doesn't have image stabilization, you will have shaking at the highest magnification. Smart thing to do is use this with a tripod of which, this binocular is equipped with a slot to screw-in your tripod. Very handy if you want to extend magnification without getting dizzy in the process. The rubber armoring of pretty much solid, offering protection from the usual bumps and drops. It also comes with rubber caps to protect both the eyepiece and objective lenses from dusts and smudges. Also comes with its own case to store it when not in use. Great binoculars so far. What you have is a brand name maker of optics at a great price. Highly recommended!

Nikon?
by Michael Madden from MO, 2009-07-14

I purchased this item as "open box" and in fact the box was in very shabby condition. The binoculars seemed "like new" as promised, and I have found them to be essentially of good quality. The only issue I have with them is that there is no indication either on the binoculars, or on the packaging to suggest that they are made by Nikon. The pair I got was from a third party vendor and they were considerably less expensive than any of the others, but I assumed that to be a result of their open box status, not because they were a Chinese copy of the Nikon product. That said, I'm happy with them. They were a bargain at the price I paid, which was under $25.

Nikon 7-15x35 Zoom Binocular

This binocular is quite easy to use and has a nice clear field of view. I find it very useful for bird watching, for example. Two negatives: (1) it is bulkier than the small fixed power types (2) the range of focus goes well past infinity and the useful range of focus (close up to infinity) is all in about half the total focus control range. This takes a bit of getting used to.

Great compact binocular

Solidly built, compact size, a tad on the heavy side. Not fog nor water proof; the lens cover are not attached to the body, and may get lost once removed. Great image quality, smooth zoom operation. A great compact binocular.
