I was saddened to hear the Nikon will be dropping the
Nikon Premier LX binocular (except for the compacts) and also the
Nikon Premier SE binocular (my own birding binocular), but, at the same time, I am quite excited about reports of a
new supergrade Nikon binocular, the Nikon EDG, that Nikon will be announcing, shortly. I have very little in the way of info right now, but their new premium grade roof prism will have the
Swarovski EL body style and ED objective lenses. Probably won't see on until summer, but this may be the ultimate
Nikon binocular, yet.
