Pros
  • brightness, build quality, focusing ease, resolution
Cons
  • heavy due to build quality
Very large sweet spot. Very fine and stable focusing capability aids super resolution. Very bright and uncolored. Mechanical build quality and focusing ease well ahead of Swarovski, Zeiss and some Leicas. Weight is significant, but lends to solid feeling. Great contrast and color saturation, but a tad behind Swarovski EL 10x42 in those regards, but resolution and brightness of Nikon is greater. Focusing mechanism is much finer and better than Leica or Swarovski, especially. Optically a delight. Many prefer the Nikon Venturer/LX/HG to the Premier/LXL although difference in weight and optical quality is slight to my eye.

  • Sharpness, contrast, brightness, ergonomics
Cons
  • Weight
I have had these binos for 4 years now; bought as replacements for my stolen B&Ls, and whilst others come and go (Ultravids/FLs/ELs in all sizes), these have remained my first of favourites. Their edge-to-edge sharpness and close focussing makes them the best all-round binocular I have ever owned.
