Had a nice outing with a new
birding friend, yesterday and he told me he was interested in a new birding binocular. The discussion, as I expected, led to
Swarovski binoculars,
Leica binoculars and
Zeiss binoculars, not to mention
Steiner birding binoculars and the
Bushnell Elite. He seemed a bit surprised, though, when I threw
Nikon binoculars into the mix. I then told him about my many years of experience with Nikon birding binoculars and moved into current models with the Nikon Premier and the
Nikon EDG. He seemed a bit skeptical, so I pulled my
Nikon Premiere LX 10x25 out of the drawer and told him to give this great Nikon compact binocular a try as we headed out the door to find some late warbler action. By the end of the day, the Nikon Premier LX made a believer of him. In fact, he began to apologize for constantly saying how sharp they were.
