Nikon debuts PROSTAFF binoculars, memory card

Nikon Vision Co., Ltd., (Nikon Vision), a subsidiary of Nikon Corp., announced the release of the PROSTAFF P7 and PROSTAFF P3 binocular series.

The new PROSTAFF P7 models have been redesigned with a new exterior and are even more advanced than the previous PROSTAFF 7S binoculars which have gained a high reputation, according to Nikon.

The PROSTAFF P7 series binoculars provide a wide apparent field of view (62.9° for 10×42, 62.6° for 8×30) that offers spectacular viewing, and employ a dioptre adjustment ring locking system to prevent unintentional rotation.

Multilayer coating is applied to all lenses and prisms. Dielectric high-reflective multilayer prism coating and phase correction coating are applied to the roof prisms. All of this effectively combines to deliver a bright field of view plus natural color fidelity. Oil- and water-repellent coating applied to the objective lens and eyepieces allows smudges like fingerprints to be easily wiped off.

The new PROSTAFF P3 binocular series are the successor models to the PROSTAFF 3S, while the 8×30 and 10×30 models further extend this brand lineup.

The PROSTAFF P3 series binoculars provide a wide apparent field of view (62.9° for 10×42, 62.6° for 8×30) that allows users to capture a subject easily, making these models, particularly appealing to novices, according to Nikon. Multilayer coating is applied to the lenses and high-reflectivity silver-alloy mirror coating is applied on the mirror surfaces of the prisms. All of this effectively combines to deliver a clear, bright image.
