The EX is equipped with lens elements with multi-layered and anti-reflective coatings. These offer great optical abilities such as adequate brightness, high contrast, true color rendition, and flare-free viewing in most lighting conditions. It makes use of aspherical eyepiece lenses which virtually eliminate all distortion. If vision imbalance occurs, a diopter control is put in to easily control it. The key to the efficient optics are the high index BaK4 prisms that render superior resolution and brightness. The quick central focus also maximizes viewing comfort.
The EX is part of Nikon’s most popular binocular series. Its optical capabilities are engineered in league of Nikon’s well-known and satisfactory standards.

It also has adjustable eyecups and a neck strap to add more comfort to the user.
Since it is completely waterproof, the chances for internal fogging are also completely eliminated. To ensure total waterproofing and fog-proofing for optimum performance, Nikon constructed the EX with nitrogen-filled interiors and O-ring seals to prevent any leaks from happening. The binoculars’ body is ergonomically shaped and robustly built. It is tripod-adaptable with the rubber coat; it also provides a comfortable and non-slip grip for the user on either wet or dry conditions. This makes it great for rafting and boating.
Because of the EX’s great viewing capabilities and cutting-edge optics, it’s also great even for the more subdued kind of man. It’s great for bird watchers and nature lovers because it offers the right balance of magnification and field of view.
The EX is priced at about $250 though discounts can lower it down to up to $140. Some even sell it for as low as $80.

The EX is a versatile tool. From game hunters to bird watchers, the EX is making a lot of people happy.



Binoculars: The Irony of Looking for the Perfect Looking Device

Binoculars: The Irony of Looking for the Perfect Looking DevicePicture this: You’re in a forest in springtime, you’ve got your binoculars, you hear a bird, you swerve your binoculars to where the sound is coming from and realize that you can’t see a damn thing. That’d suck, right?
When you want to see something, say… the moons of Jupiter or some rare bird, but the eyes the good Lord gave you just won’t do the trick, you may need a pair of binoculars. Ahh yes…From military espionage to bird watching, binoculars have been around to give us a view of a bigger world. So here are some basic things to know about binoculars. Hopefully, they might help in choosing the best binoculars for you.
First on the list is magnification. Yes, that’s right. It’s when something looks bigger how it initially looks like. Magnification is the main purpose of binoculars. Technically, it’s the projection or appearance of images in the way of how it would appear if you were closer to the image without having to, well, move closer. To magnify objects, lenses are used. Lenses are transparent objects, usually glass, that are shaped in such a way that they refract light to produce a real or virtual image.
The difference in magnification is correlated to the purpose of the binoculars. For example, bird watching binoculars have about 7 to 12 diameters magnification. This means that looking through binoculars with this configuration would look as if you were looking at it as if you were 7-12 times closer to it. Military binoculars and those used by amateur astronomers have greater magnifying abilities. This is related to the field of view, which is just the amount of space you could see. The more magnified a view is, the smaller the field of view.
The next thing that comes in handy to know about is the exit pupil. This is a beam that determines how much light is gathered and how bright an image is. To get the brightest images, the exit pupil should be the width of a fully dilated iris of a normal human eye, about 7 mm. When choosing how large the exit pupil should be, you should consider the conditions where you will use the binoculars and how your iris would react in such conditions. If youo do it in the daytime, your pupil would be dilated at about 3 mm so using binoculars set to 7 mm would just be a waste of light.
The last thing would be about eye relief. Eye relief is the distance the observer must position his eyes on the eyepiece to see a clear image. Choosing binoculars with a longer eye relief would mean choosing one with a longer focal length. This would really benefit people who wear glasses because they would inevitably need to put the binoculars farther from their eyes than usual.
