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. |
