Product Details of Nikon Action 16x50 Binocular
Description
The Action Series utilizes a high resolution aspherical lens system engineered to provide an extremely clear, distortion-free image over the entire field of view. The unique eyepiece design also offers longer eye relief (making many models of the binocular eyeglass friendly) and it provides a close focus distance of just 16.4 feet in the 7x35 and 8x40 versions, and 23 feet in the 10x50 and 12x50 models.Action Series binoculars are constructed with an all-metal chassis and lens fittings housed in a tough, lightweight polycarbonate body shell. The binocular bodies are ergonomically shaped, tripod adaptable and are rubber coated for an easy grip and stylish carry. A black color scheme complements the updated design of the Action Series binoculars.Like all Nikon central focus binoculars, the Action Series features a diopter control for total viewing consistency. This control, located on the binocular's right eyepiece, is essential to compensate for common left eye/right eye vision imbalance.Nikon Action Series binoculars incorporate multi-layered anti-reflective lens coatings engineered to deliver optimum brightness, high contrast, true color rendition and flare free viewing. The Action Series utilizes BaK4 high index prisms for clear, round images free from vignetting.

Nikon Action 16x50 Binoculars
Strengths: Aspherical eyepiece lenses & BAK4 prisms. Comes with all needed accessories including tripod adapter. The case can be fastened onto a pants belt which makes it very handy for storing small items.
Weakness: Not fogproof or waterproof. Needs a monopod or a tripod for extended viewing. Not good for lunar observation.
I used this binocular for astronomy & for bird watching. I mounted it on a tripod for stargazing, & I used a monopod for watching birds. The brightness, clarity & sharpness is excellent. It is handholdable for brief periods of time. It is not too heavy or too bulky for me. The biggest disappointment is the fact that this model is made in China & not in Japan. The optics could be better under...
this Nikon Action 16x50 has its value
Strengths: 1. very well weight balance. Do not feel heavy at all. 2. very short nearest focus distance, surprisingly. 3. very wide angle at this 16x power range. 4. mechanically very well fit to my hands.
Weakness: 1. at this price, I can not say anything negative at all. 2. if want water-proof, just add another $100 more to get an ATB model. 3. although not perfect for lunar observation, it is very acceptable.
Summary: It is good for watching a full moon. Ghost image is very small, limited and really not a big deal. Do not forget you pay only $100 for this one. It is nothing wrong of being made in China. Any design flaw is from Nikon, Japan. I do not understand why China is to blame. Without Chinese modern manufacturing power, this one would cost you at least $300 US dollars. I strongly recommend this...
