Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've used this binocular for over 7 years and I can validate every thing that Vallis said in a previous review. You cannot go wrong with this unbelievable binocular.
But, in the same previous review, one thing is, by experience, not true:
"Still, one need not be extremely cautious with these optics and water, as a little water usually won't hurt them. And if they are damaged, Nikon's warranty will have them covered: for 25 years, Nikon will repair or replace them (at their discretion) if they are damaged, at a cost of $10 + shipping - even if the damage was your fault!"
It's right to say that you don't need to be extremely cautious. I've done some birding in rainy condition and I never had any problems with my binocular. But this summer I went true a rough sea in a boat and a big wave of salt water splashed over the deck and got me a little wet. At first, the binocular seemed fine but, after 10 minutes, the left part became completely black. Some salt water touched the prism and a chemical reaction turned its surface to black. Absolutely no light passed true it anymore. The right side of the binocular was ok.
I sent the binocular to Nikon with the proof of guaranty.
After 8 or 9 calls from me and SIXTEEN WEEKS, I got a message telling me that it was not possible to repair them but that they offered me a brand new one for... 500 $ can. (About 450 us)
So, that proves that they are not waterproof and that they don't repair them or exchanges them for free.
Nikon service was, for me, next to zero.
But this binocular is still incredible.
