| This Nikon is one of the world’s most respected birding binoculars. It’s a center focus Z-body BaK-4 porro prism, using Nikon’s proprietary full multicoatings for the highest light transmission in its class. The lightweight magnesium body is durable and easy to carry for hours. Clad in a unique protein rubber armor, it is also comfortable to hold in all temperature extremes. The 8 x 32mm Superior E comes with a soft carry case, an eyepiece rainguard, and a wide woven neck strap. Optically, the 8 x 32mm absolutely demolishes the concept that only a roof prism binocular can have ultra-premium optics. The 8 x 32mm is visibly brighter . . . and higher in contrast, and sharper edge to edge, and more detailed . . . than many premium 7 x 42mm and 8 x 42mm roof prism binoculars, even some that are considerably higher in price. Little more than a single turn of its focus knob moves from an excellent 8’ close focus out to the horizon, so keeping birds in flight in sharp focus is easy and instinctive. It has a good field of view and very generous depth of field that make it easy to locate nearby birds as they move from branch to branch. This makes the 8 x 32mm ideal for close-in woodland or backyard birding. At an 8’ viewing distance, the 8 x 32mm effectively puts you only 1’ away from a bird, for an exceptionally up-close and personal birding experience. The Superior E has excellent sharpness and contrast (with only slight field curvature and virtually no astigmatism) that keeps flocks of birds sharply in focus from one edge of the eyepiece field to the other. It has good 16mm eye relief for eyeglass use, and soft roll down rubber eyecups. With its sensible balance of size, weight, aperture, and magnification, the Nikon 8 x 32mm Superior E can provide you with all the birding enjoyment you could ever want. In addition to the 25-year limited Nikon USA warranty, the 8 x 32mm Superior E is also covered by Nikon’s unique no-fault warranty. If anything happens to the 8 x 32mm that’s not covered by Nikon’s normal 25-year warranty, it costs you only $10 and return shipping and handling to get it fixed or replaced! Whether you drop the 8 x 32mm out of a canoe, drive off with it on the roof of your car, or loan it to a clumsy friend who uses it to drive tent pegs, there’s no need to worry. You’re covered by Nikon’s no-fault warranty.
