EDG is the first birding binocular to harness the optical superiority of Nikon’s highly acclaimed
ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass to push the limits of optical perf ormance. This extraordinary glass was developed for
Nikon’s legendary Nikkor camera lenses, for increased resolution and color contrast. Nikon EDG binoculars offer the
same results to the world’s most serious birders—high contrast images that are razor sharp and extremely bright.

Field-of-view is always an important feature and with the EDG product you see it all. Beautiful to hold and superb to use, it does everything that I want it to do!

“The Premier line is the perfect bridge for those looking to upgrade their birding binoculars, but not quite ready to commit to the highest end optics available. It provides a bright, crystal clear image in a sturdy, waterproof glass. Anita prefers the 8x32 because of its lighter weight and a better fit for her smaller hands, and their compact size also makes them great for travel.”

“The new Monarch X really makes images “pop,” and the enhanced light absorption allows for extended viewing late into the evening. The im­proved depth of field really stands out. When using binoculars, I usually like a medium eye relief and with the locking eye relief adjustments this becomes easily achieved. Very lightweight… I find myself forgetting it is even around my neck.”

“I recall my son Spike, looking out the kitchen window and seeing an accipiter fly in at top speed and flush the songbirds from around the feeders. Picking up the 8x36 Monarch sitting on the shelf he saw the piercing red eye of the adult Sharp-Shinned Hawk. That ultra clear im­age left him in awe. The experience piqued his interest; the Monarch got him hooked!”

“My ProStaff 8x25’s small size makes them the perfect binocular to bring anywhere or everywhere. Whether they are your first pair of “bins” or alternates, you’ll never regret bringing them with you. Though you may forget they are stashed in your backpack or pocket, until the time when you need them... you’ll be glad you had them on hand!”

Nikon spotting scopes allow you to see the kind of detail you are used to seeing only on wildlife
documentaries. With Nikon you have a front row seat to observe birds and other wildlife in their
natural habitat, while keeping a respectful distance so as not to disturb or disrupt the action.
The brightness and clarity offered by Nikon optics mean you won’t miss a single detail.

“Looking at waterfowl and gulls in the winter in Ithaca NY can be a nasty business. It’s cold, wet, windy and the birds have a habit of not being very close to you. My Nikon Prostaff Spotting Scope evens the playing field considerably. Its waterproof and fog-proof design stands up to the harshest weather thrown at me by the New York winter, and the included case keeps it well protected from the falls and bumps it receives when the wind wins a round with my tripod.”

Marine environments place entirely different demands on optics: the ever-present moisture, the
ever-present motion, and the ever-present need for your optics to perform anytime and ever y time.
The entire line of Nikon marine optics has been crafted specifically to help you capture all of the action
on the water, whether you’re spotting buoys, baitfish or birds.

Michael Freiberg
Cameron Cox
Denver Holt
Mike Freiberg’s family introduced him to the world of bird watching at five years old, and then his hobby grew into a career. His summers during college were spent working for the Point Reyes Bird Observatory in Eastern Oregon and Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory in the Black Hills, SD. He has traveled Mexico, Venezu­ela and Brazil in pursuit of birds, including six months performing research in Northeast Brazil on a newly discovered species: the Araripe Manakin.
Cameron Cox has been birding almost nonstop since his “conversion” at the age of thirteen. He has traveled around North America looking at birds and working on various research projects, and now travels for Nikon attending birding festivals, leading field trips and teaching bird identification. He enjoys competitive birding, including the World Series of Birding and the Great Texas Birding Classic.
