Nikon 8x30 EII Objective Diameter in mm? (1 Viewer)

Hello Jerry,

I'm interested: any reason you got both an anniversary edition and a standard? I ask because when my Anniversary edition 8x30 arrived last week, the finish and color was so beautiful I was tempted to buy a standard model to use instead to avoid dinging up the Anniversary. Then I decided not to start a collection of "safe queen" bins. But I was so impressed by the 8x30 I ordered the 10x35 model which should arrive in a week or so.

Thanks in advance for any input on your decision to own both versions of the 8x30.

Mike

Mike:

I like binoculars, and there is not any difference between the later EII models
optically that I can see. The 100th anniversary version, does have a dark gray finish, a different strap, case and box.

The 10x35 EII is also a very nice binocular, you will enjoy it.
