The EX Action series produced by the reputable Nikon company consists of mid-range pairs of binoculars with the following parameters: 7x35, 8x40, 7x50, 10x50, 12x50, 16x50 , 7-15x35 and 10-22x50. All Action EX binoculars come with BaK-4 glass Porro prisms.

compact and solid body; sensibly corrected chromatic aberration; slight astigmatism; low distortion; small light fall-off on the edge of the field; wide field of view; good quality glass BaK-4 prisms; circular exit pupils; dark and clean inside the tubes

average transmission; huge coma; noticeable resolution decrease on the edge of the field of view; no coatings on one air-to-glass surface of the objective; field of view a bit narrower than that declared in the specifications

The quality that you would expect from Nikon, excellent visibility and ease of adjustment. They are not the slip in the pocket type of binoculars, but if you want a solid product which lets in plenty of light with pin sharp results, it will be difficult to do better than the Nikon Action EX 8x40.

Very happy with the binocs. Thay have good size, easy focus, large viewing area, comfortable outer soft covering making them exceptional for the price. We use them primarily for birding.

Tell you truely, when I was looking for Birding Binocular, I was bit sceptical whether what are they saying about Binoculars is too much or not. But after using it, I couldn't stop myself from kissing it! Wider field of view(FOV), better depth of image and specially designed for glass-wearers.

Have been using these for about a year now and love them. The only down side to them is their flimsy lens caps which I replaced using Butler Creek brand scope caps. (Product # 34OBJ).

Rugged; Good Value; Simple; Lightweight; Reliable; clear optics

see note on lens covers provided

I tried many 8x40 and went for the Nikon, because they were very good optically and I know the brand well (used their cameras for ages) just this size is a bit bulky, but the optics are well worth the compromise. Very nice.

Durable; Great Optics
