Nikon 2014 USA Website Needs Updating

Attention Mike or somebody from Nikon!

I just was on the new 2014 Nikon USA website looking at the EDG Series binoculars. 5 single hinged EDG II binoculars are shown but when you click on the specs they magically turn into the now obsoleted double hinged EDG I versions which haven't been produced for at least 3 years AFAIK.

Try it and see for yourself!

Lions and tigers and bears! Oh, my!

There's a link below the EDG II bins titled "Archived EDG Binoculars," which show the EDG I version. That's probably where those old pix came from. I wouldn't sweat it, those who even know about the existence of the EDG, probably know its sorted history with focuser and diopter issues (except on your sample!) and perhaps even about the Swaro litigation that was the death knell for the EDG I, though that obscure factoid is better known among us gearheads.

What's more disturbing is that the Nikon SEs aren't archived. How will future generations know about the greatest porro of all time and its WF twin, the EII? I guess from the BF archives.

FLASH!

"How come people from the future talk like robots?"

I wish I was in 2004

I tried to fix this erroneous date which shows only in the Nikon Index but I was not able to do it. I will admit that it was caused by my own error.

Perhaps Nikon's website has the same inability to be changed that Bird Forums does? If so it will further increase the confusion surrounding the EDG. But that is the nature of the internet.

I wonder if it is possible for the moderators to change the date to 2014?

Bob:

If you report your own post, then the moderators will see your request.

You will find that report button, below your name.
