Description:
Nikon Inc. has introduced an upgrade of the popular Travelite binocular series, popular with hikers, birders and outdoors enthusiasts.The new Travelite V series binoculars incorporate several new features designed to make them more user friendly while enhancing optical performance. Nikon Travelite V binoculars utilize precision ground, multicoated optics, and high index BaK4 prisms for true color rendition, maximum sharpness and enhanced light transmission. The new binoculars use aspherical eyepiece lenses which provide a very flat viewing field and offer markedly improved edge-to-edge sharpness over many conventional lenses. A new, ergonomically contoured, carbon-fiber body makes the Travelite V easy to use for long viewing sessions without physical fatigue. The lightweight body encases a rugged all-metal chassis and is covered with a durable black rubber armor that provides added shock resistance and a positive grip in slippery conditions.Get more product details from Amazon

Nikon truly makes excellent lenses for binoculars. The 8x25 is superb for bird-watching, concerts and vacation travel. The quality is extremely clear and they are very lightweight and compact. Really durable and high quality feel in your hands. Superb for eyeglass wearers. I tried the 10x25 and found the magnification too strong. The 8x25 makes bird-watching easier due to wider panoramic view. The 9x25 is also great and magnification is really the buyer's choice.

We use our binoculars for the Metropolitan Opera and New York Philharmonic. For both, we usually sit in the highest levels. Thus, binoculars are needed for better views. We are on our fourth pair; in every case, hard falls were the wreckers. We selected this Nikon mainly on the basis of comparative reviews on Amazon.com and were led properly. Good prior experience with Nikon and its reputatiion were also factors. The binoculars are easy to use and magnify well. The actual supplier was one with whom I had previously dealt directly and found reliable. This was true with this transaction.

I just purchased these Nikon binoculars and I am very pleased with them. I had been using a cheap pair that I picked up at a flea market and can't believe what I've been missing. I am purchasing another pair to keep in my car. I highly recommend the Nikon Travelite V 8 x 25 they are a great buy.
