Nikon Binoculors For Nascar Fans
If you like going to the races or any sporting event, NASCAR Nikon binoculars may be exactly what you’re looking for. It comes with a multi coated 25mm objective lens. The durable, water-resistant exterior is a plus as well. This binocular draws in lots of light to bring you a sharp, clear image. It’s small enough so that it will fit in your coat or pants pocket. It’s light enough so that you don’t feel like they’re bogging you down. They’re easy to handle and have BK4 prisms. (For those of you who are wondering, BK4 prisms refer to the glass, which is made of barium. It provides less image brightness problems around the edges and superior circular exit pupils.) Let’s look at the pros and cons of these little babies: Pros: - The weight and size are a real benefit. Most people want something that’s small and lightweight. Weighing in at just 10.4 ounces, NASCAR Nikon binoculars are definitely that!
- It comes complete with accessories (such as a soft pouch and lens caps)
- Since it’s NASCAR, it could eventually become a collectible, which is very cool.
- They have a wide field of view and quick central focusing, so it won’t take long to zoom in on your favorite driver.
- Even though they’re “NASCAR” binoculars, you can use them all kinds of places—at other sporting events, at the opera, even to spy on your neighbors (oops, did I just say that...I was just kidding!)
Cons: - Not everyone agrees that these binoculars are quality in terms of sharpness or brightness, at least not for the price. Some have stated that they’ve bought less expensive binoculars and gotten a sharper image. This may not be everyone’s opinion, but it’s something to remain aware of.
- The exterior of the binoculars are made of plastic (as opposed to steel). This makes them more susceptible to wear and tear.
- The brightness index isn’t anything special...it’s 6.25. (The brightness magnification can be calculated by dividing the magnification into the diameter of the lens and calculating the square of your first answer). In short, you’re not going to see too much at night, since the human eye’s brightness index is around 50.
Here’s the bottom line: for the price, these are a great buy (eBay has these binoculars priced at about $30.00). They’re good for various events, fold neatly away, and are made by a respected brand in the field of binoculars. Nikon is a name you can depend on and is second to none in combining smart technology, common sense, and a sleek design to produce a quality product. So when buying your next binoculars, be sure not to overlook Nikon’s NASCAR binoculars!
