these were a replacement for my originals whose mechanics finally wore out from use, dust, rust.

I plan to take these just about anywhere and everywhere with me to get a closer perspective on things! The beach and the mountains are easy traveling distances, so the binoculars will come in handy to better see foliage, wildlife and areas unreachable yet viewable things. Sporting events will also be enhanced!

Replacing a pair that I had bought 12 years ago and at the time they were the cats meow (paid about $115). Have brutalized these poor binoc's whitetail deer hunting in very challenging environments and they never let me down. Have drop, smacked, -20degrees, +100degrees and boy did they help me fill my tags. But alas, this season they fell from a ledge and that was a little to much for them. So instead of returning to NIKON (most likely will in the future) I decided to buy two pairs. [...]

Very useful for birdwatching and stargazing. The only drawback is that the binoculars are a tad heavy.

Bought it mainly for variable star observing: the really wide field makes it easy to find stars and compare them with other stars. MUCH brighter and sharper images than competing models!!! Very accurate colors. No edge-of-field distortion as one review noted for the 8x40 model. Can use with glasses but the range of focus is so great I can use it without my glasses (a real bonus). A real favorite, especially at this price point. Very highly recommended!
