HIGH GRADE

Our High Grade binoculars, born of the most advanced optical technology in the industry, deliver performance that's second to none.
HG L Series offer a high reflection silver coating for the brightest possible views, phase correction coating for highly defined images, and the security of waterproof, fog-free construction.
In addition to their superior optical performance and operability, they make use of environment-friendly materials such as Eco-glass optics that are free from lead and arsenic for lenses and prisms, and non-vinyl chloride material for the body, eyepiece caps, case and straps. Nikon's High Grade lineup has just the binoculars to make your next outing an unforgettable experience.


Features common to the HG L series
The six models in the HG L series share many features:
  • Sharp, clear images to the lens periphery, thanks to Nikon's exclusive field flattener lens and eyepiece design
  • Nikon's original multilayer coating attains a high light transmission rate across a wide range of wavelengths and reduces flare and ghosts for excellent colour reproduction
  • Phase-correction-coated roof prisms deliver high resolution
  • Prisms feature a high-reflection silver coating to provide brighter images
  • High-eyepoint design provides a clear field of view, even for eyeglass wearers
  • Soft-touch silicon rubber eyecup
  • Turn-and-slide rubber eyecups with multi-click adjustment facilitate easy positioning of eyes at the correct eyepoint
  • Large focusing ring makes operation easy
  • Every model is waterproof and fog-free, with O-ring seals and nitrogen gas
  • Made with environment-friendly materials
  • Soft leather case included
