Worlds best birding binoculars

These binoculars are the standard to judge all other binoculars. European binoculars at 2 to 3 times the price of these Nikons CANNOT compare! Everyone who has the opportunity to look through these Nikon Premier SE (sometimes called Superior...

Fantastic in low-light birding situations

I have competed in the World Series of Birding in NJ for 13 years. These binoculars allow me to see shorebirds at Brigantine or waterfowl in Cape May when the rest of my teammates, all with first-rate bins by top mfrs, are done for the day. I am so...

Unbelievable sensitivity in low-light situations; very comfortable in hand

Not water/fogproof

Superb binocular, bad service.

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...

OUTSTANDING OPTICS

I agree with the review posted by 'userleif' back in 2003. These are outstanding binoculars. Extremely clear, with superb contrast and resolution. The view takes on an almost 3-D like quality with images that stand out, and the colors (especially when...

Superb optics, among the best available

The SE is Waterproof!

I thought it would be useful for the reader if I wrote this note as an addendum to the two previous reviews. The two previous reviews are for the Nikon Superior E binocular which is an exceptional glass but is not waterproof as stated. The Nikon...

Reference performance and feel, for a mid level price!

After doing much research and dreaming about reference class bino's, I settled on this model and am happy I did. I've tried many pairs of binoculars and have owned about 7 myself and these are by far the best yet. First off, the construction is first...

Astonishing image quality and brightness!

It is rare to find a pair of binoculars with the brightness, sharpness and clarity of the Nikon Superior E! This piece of equipment is truly amazing! It provides such a crisp, true-to-life image without color distortions or image degradation on the...

Product Specifications

According to Nikon, the 8x32 SE utilizes all of the same optical and mechanical performance features found in its 10x model, but in a smaller, lighter and more universal package. Leading the list of features on the central focus 8x32 SE binocular is a unique eyepiece design that offers the viewer an uncommonly clear, flat image even in the periphery of the viewing field. By designing the binocular with extra long eye relief, even eyeglass wearers can take advantage of the wide field of view offered by the binocular.The 8x32 Superior E also utilizes Nikon's click-movement diopter control for total viewing consistency. This control, located on the binocular's right eyepiece, is essential to compensate for common left eye/right eye vision imbalance. Nikon's positive click system maintains the diopter setting until the viewer wishes to change it. The 8-power magnification, 32mm objective lens diameter and Nikon's exclusive system of coating all lens and prism surfaces with multiple layers of special anti-reflective coatings, combine to deliver maximum brightness, high contrast, true colors and flare-free viewing in all dawn to dusk situations. The Superior E also utilizes high quality BaK4 high-index prisms for clear, round images without vignetting.
