High Grade Pp; When Only The Best Will Do - Nikon Action 8x40 Brochure

High Grade

When only the best will do

Topping off Nikon's broad lineup of widely acclaimed binoculars, the six HG L series models are
designed for unparallelled performance and comfort. Exacting lens and prism construction ensures
sharper, brighter images to intensify your viewing experience. Other aspects, such as the finely tuned
mechanics and optical design, work together to reveal subtle details you'd have otherwise missed.
for bright, high-contrast images
• Nikon's original multilayer coating
Minimises flare and ghosts, for very high transmission across a wide range of
wavelengths. The result: excellent contrast and colour reproduction.
• Phase correction coating
Corrects phase shifts caused when light reflects off the roof (Dach) prism.
Provides a high-contrast image by eliminating the reduction of resolution.
• High-reflection silver coating
Much greater reflectivity and much less light loss from the prism, compared with
ordinary aluminium coating, for brighter images.
for sharp, undistorted images
• Field flattener lens
Employed for eyepiece lens. Provides images that are sharp and clear all the way
to the lens periphery.
• Distortion correction
Nikon's superb optical design provides high-level distortion correction enabling
sharp, undistorted images even at the viewing area periphery.
easy to use
• High-eyepoint design
Sophisticated design technology achieves a combination of high eyepoint and
small size.
