Nikon introduces high-grade HG L series binoculars

Nikon Vision Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Nikon Corporation, is proud to announce the release of six new models of high-grade HG L series binoculars.
Nikon's earlier HG series high-grade binoculars have been widely acknowledged for their outstanding performance derived from Nikon's superior optical technologies.
The new HG L series binoculars feature the outstanding optical standards of their predecessors while substantially reducing the weight of 42mm objective diameter models. Eco-friendly materials have been newly adopted to lessen impact on the environment.
These high-grade binoculars are designed for a broad range of outdoor applications, from birdwatching to astronomical observation.

Features

• Outstanding performance from superior optical technologies
  
  • Original multilayer coating for all lenses and prisms ensures a high light transmission rate across a wide range of wavelengths and reduces flare and ghosts for excellent colour reproduction
  • Prisms feature a phase-correction coating and a high-reflection silver coating to deliver enhanced resolution and brighter images
  • Field flattener lens used in the eyepiece provides a sharper image up to the periphery
  
  
  
• Lighter weight (8x42HG L DCF/10x42HG L DCF)
  Weight has been greatly reduced despite large objective diameter - 795g for 8x42HG L DCF, and 790g for 10x42HG L DCF (compared with 980g for previous models) - by employing sturdy die-cast magnesium alloy and other light materials, such as eco-glass.
  
  
• Environment-friendly materials
  All lenses and prisms employ eco-glass optics that are free of lead and arsenic. The body, eyepiece lens cap, objective lens caps, case and strap are made from non-vinyl chloride materials.
  
  
• Comfortable viewing even with eyeglasses
  High-eyepoint design provides a clear field of view, even for eyeglass wearers.
  
  
• Excellent operability
  
  • Turn-and-slide rubber eyecups with multi-click adjustment facilitate easy positioning of eyes at the correct eyepoint
  • Rubber eyecups are made from soft-touch silicon material
  • Large focusing ring makes for easy operation, even when wearing gloves
  
  
  
• Waterproof
  All models are waterproof and fog-free. Bodies are filled with nitrogen gas.
  
  
• Low temperature operation
  
  • Enjoy excellent performance at temperatures as low as -20°C (-30°C for the 8x20HG L DCF / 10x25HG L DCF)
