Description
The new Nikon Action Extreme binoculars feature an all-metal chassis with lens fittings housed in a tough, lightweight polycarbonate body shell. Like all Nikon All Terrain Binoculars, the EX is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed for total waterproof, fogproof and shockproof performance in any environment. The binocular bodies are ergonomically shaped, tripod adaptable and are rubber coated for a non-slip grip, whether wet or dry. The new Extreme ATB offerings utilize high-resolution lenses and prism systems crafted from Nikons exclusive Eco Glass, which is made without the use of arsenic or lead. This lens system provides an extremely clear, distortion-free image over the entire field of view. The lens elements each incorporate multi-layered anti-reflective coatings formulated to deliver optimum brightness, high contrast, true color rendition and flare-free viewing in most lighting conditions. The Extreme series binoculars each feature a unique, click-stop eyecup design that not only delivers long eye relief, but also allows for variable eye relief that is customizable to the users own eyes and eyeglasses. The binoculars are central focus with a diopter control to correct for normal right/left eye vision imbalance. The Extreme ATBs all feature Apparent Angles of view that exceed 65 degrees, making them true Wide Angle binoculars.
Spotlight customer reviews
Couldn't be happier with our purchase!

These are great for birdwatching, even at dusk. They allow in enough light that we were able to see the waterfowl on the lake as we were kayaking at dusk. We are extremely pleased and the customer service has been excellent. We are looking to buy a second pair. It's hard to share when you zero in on a rare find and then have to turn the binoculars over to someone else to see!
Great price for these binoculars!

I bought the Nikon Action 10X50 Extreme binoculars around 7/01/08 and here is what I found:
1. It had good reviews and I would agree.
2. Excellent results during the day and at night. Observing the moon was really great!
3. I use them on my boat and being waterproof is a must. Plus, they are light enough to use for different reasons (long or close viewing). I even brough them to a Rutgers football game and my buddy really liked them (including myself).
4. They have a really nice feel in your hands. They are very well constructed and the rubberized coating makes them easy to use and comfortable.
5. You could use them for birding/hiking (short viewing distance) but you might consider a smaller size (7X40). Again- you have to decide what you are going to use them for. I wanted more power for longer viewing distance.
Lastly- Amazon offered the best price and the binoculars were delivered quickly and without any problems. I really like these binoculars and would recommend to anyone.
I can see clearly now!

Moved to Sierra Foothills in CA. Needed a good pair of binoculars to enjoy the wildlife roaming our property. Thought my binoculars were fine, but wanted another pair, so when I got my new Nikon Action Extremes, WOW! What an EXTREME difference! The clarity and sharpness is fantastic. Can't get over how much tiny detail can be seen at such great distance. No glare and focus is quick - would only prefer a rocker arm action to the roller dial for focusing. Very satisfied with this product.
Watch the moon

Yes, the moon has never been better. I am shocked that the entire field of view is in sharp focus. The image of the moon is clear. For the money, I don't how you can go wrong with these 10X50 EX binocular. Shake is a problem, but that would be me. So unless using a tripod don't bother greater than 10X. Buy cheap tix for sporting events, and feel like you are in the front row. Now that alone justifies the money spent.

I haven't tried this product yet, but my son did and he told me that they were the best.
