Nikon SE 10x42 SE
By David M. Metzger
These are considered the best view of any 10x made by many reviewers. See Better View Desired, etc. These are truly world class and compete well with the $1600 binoculars. I was surprised by the size, they are smaller and lighter than I imagined but the case is a bit large.You will find that these excel in incredible sharpness - across the rather wide field of view. Lower CA than binoculars at twice the price (a function of great porro prisms). Flat field. Accurate color. And the wider porro design gives a feeling of depth and comfort of view that is unsurpassed.A few negatives. Nikon is not very interested in this low selling line. They have not updated it with the click adjustable eye cups found in great binoculars. They do not make them water proof - which certainly they could even though roof prisms may be more challenging due to external focus. They do use the best metal housing - magnesium and have a great cover over the metal.The typical price on these is $900 - which, to me, is a significant premium even though these are the best view in the under $2000 class. A great porro does not require the critical prism alignment of roof prisms. The eye cups are the old fashioned rubber. They are not waterproof. They focus to about 16.4' - which is not great but partially a function of a porro design. I think a premium is charged since it appeals to those who want the best in a retro design and they see the market as rather narrow compared to their LXL line. I wonder how much longer these will be made? But no worries, Nikon has an amazing warranty and replacement policy - even no fault currently for $10 I believe.They are beautiful to me, easy to hold steady, 17.4mm eye relief(very good - although eyeglass wearers may prefer the new click eyecups). They take a wierd adapter for use on a tripod.Anyone considering these should also consider the 8x32 Nikon SE. Most people prefer a 8x for birding since they can hold it steadier. I prefer 8x for most viewing also, but already have the Nikon LXL in that size.In conclusion, a great retro styled binocular - world class. Nikon Premier SE 10 x 42 Binocular with Wide Angle View
