Not only do they offer an amazing field of view for a compact, but they also deliver exceptional close-focus distance and long eye relief. True to Nikon Premier LX-L form, they are also guaranteed completely waterproof and fogproof.

Nikon has set a new standard in pocket binocular performance notable for those hunters who appreciate the finer details of their sport. The new 8x20 Premier LX-L compact binoculars deliver legendary Nikon optical performance in a package that not only is useable on any hunt, but that can also fit into the budget plans of any serious enthusiast.

Joining Nikon's highly acclaimed 8x42/10x42 and 8x32/10x32 LX binoculars in the Nikon Premier Optics lineup, the new mini LX-L 8x20 compact matches the needs of a wide range of hunters who value ultra-small size and portability, but refuse to sacrifice optical quality in the bargain.

Nikon engineers designed the new 8x20 LX-L compact to over-deliver on features and performance and to under-deliver on size. Measuring a scant 4.3 x 3.8 inches, the two mini binoculars tip the scales at just about 10 ounces each, making them as portable as anything on the planet when it comes to high-performance hunting optics.

The LX-L minis are built using the very finest optical components to ensure exceptional handling and peak optical performance. Nikon's exclusive Eco Glass, made without the use of lead or arsenic, is used throughout the optical system. Lenses are carefully ground and polished, then coated with multiple layers of proprietary anti-reflective compounds for incredibly bright images, even in twilight or other poor light conditions.

High-grade prisms used in the LX-L get two types of coating--a silver coating to boost light transmission, and a special phase correction coating for sharpness and clarity. Together, the mini LX optical system provides extremely bright, tremendously sharp images, huge fields of view (356 feet @ 1,000 yards), lengthy eye relief (15mm) and a close-focus distance that is unheard of among the world's high-end compacts--7.8 feet.

Tough, lightweight magnesium alloy chassis--rubber armored for shockproof integrity--and then purged it of all moisture with bone-dry nitrogen for total waterproof and fogproof performance. Features the convenience of smooth central focusing, a central diopter control and slide and lock eyecups that retract for use with eyeglasses.

Powerful enough to split close double stars, resolve bright globular clusters, or look an eagle in the eye, Orion's Apex 102mm is both a fine astronomical instrument and an unparalleled terrestrial spotting scope. The Apex's 102mm-diameter (4") optics collect 28% more light than a 90mm scope. The fully multi-coated curved front meniscus lens guarantees the highest possible light transmission. The Maksutov-Cassegrain design collapses its 1300mm (f/12.7) focal length into a tube length less than 12" long. The Apex 102 tube easily pops on and off a telescope mount or camera tripod with the built-in 1/4"-20 adapter plate, and doubles as a high-power telephoto lens. Just mount a 35mm camera body (with optional T-ring) to the T-threads on the eyepiece holder and you're set! Includes 25mm Sirius Plossl eyepiece, 6x26 finder scope, 45-degree correct-image diagonal, and fully padded case. One-year limited warranty.
