Nikon 10x50 CF Action EX
Nikon 10x50 CF Action EX With Case These are fantastic. Really. The main place I take these (and the reason I bought them in the first place) is hiking and camping.
My concerns were water resistance, cold, and weight- I try to keep my pack as light as possible, as most of my camping is back country. These were worth every penny- I believe I bought them on sale for a hair under 180.00 which seems to be about 5-10% lower than other places I have seen them.
The case is a little lacking, but good enough- generally the companies seem to assume that anyone seriously considering bopping the binoculars around in their pack will be willing to buy another one. Still would have been nice to get a better one.
They are a comfortable weight for my hands, but more importantly they feel balanced- also the neoprene (I think that’s what it is) on them keeps my hands from slipping, which is useful when it is raining and because I have sweaty hands. They don’t fog easily- has never been a problem yet.
Eyepiece is easily adjusted but stays where you put it- important because I usually share field glasses with at least one other person.
I don’t know much about optics, but the vision is even over the whole field, and the field of view is larger than many other pairs I have had in the past. Awesome and I’d buy them again.
