Nikon Vision Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Nikon Corp., announced a new binocular series, the ACTION and ACTION ZOOM. These are the successor models to the ACULON A211 binoculars, which are the standard Porro prism type models in Nikon’s binocular lineup. The ACTION and ACTION ZOOM series consists of seven models: 8×42, 10×42, 7×50, 10×50, 12×50, 16×50, and 10-22×50. All models feature newly developed optical systems as well as new exterior designs, delivering enhanced usability and improved performance for both optical quality and ergonomic handling compared to previous models.

These new series binoculars offer a wider field of view compared to the previous ACULON A211 binoculars. In particular, the 10×42, 12×50, and 16×50 models provide an apparent field of view of 60 degrees or more, qualifying them as wide field of view models. Eye relief has also been extended for most of the series, with all models except the 16×50 model offering long eye relief of 15 mm or more — ensuring comfortable viewing even while wearing eyeglasses or sunglasses.

Regarding the exterior design, the new series adopts an ergonomic form that provides excellent operability and a secure, comfortable grip. The binocular body employs aluminium alloy, and is encased in rubber armouring that ensures a secure grip and comfortable handling.
