May 1997

8x25&10x25cfwpria2

In time for summer, Nikon presents the 8x25CF WP/RA II (photo: below) and the 10x25CF WP/RA II (photo: above) --- two waterproof compact binoculars offering sharp, clear views even when exposed to rain or splashing water.

Practical appeal

The 8x25CF WP/RA II and 10x25CF WP/RA II
waterproof binoculars are ideal for everyone who enjoys such outdoor leisure activities as marine sports and camping in wet or dry weather,
and feature a new design inspired by a shell's contours.

Major features

Waterproof

The nitrogen gas-filled body prevents fogging that can otherwise result when binoculars are exposed to sudden changes in temperature. Rubber armour provides shock resistance and a firm, comfortable grip for secure handling under severe outdoor conditions.

New design

The exterior shape is inspired by a shell's contours.

Long eye relief design for eyeglass wearers

Long eye relief (distance between eyepiece lenses and eyepoint where the entire field can be viewed without vignetting) provides wide-field views to people wearing eyeglasses.

Multilayer coating

Multilayer coated lenses and advanced optics keep views beautifully bright and clear at all times, in keeping with Nikon's uncompromising heritage.

Secure viewing

Click-type dioptre adjustment ring (adjustable in 0.5 dioptre increments) prevents user from rotating the ring inadvertently.
