NIKON 10x70 IF SP WP BINOCULAR, CASE & ACCESSORIES

Here is a superb example of the spectacular Nikon 10x70 IF SP WP astronomy binocular, complete with a case and accessories. This is an ultra high-end model, currently selling new in the UK for £1,349.

This precision-made instrument, beautifully crafted in Japan, is widely regarded as the best x10 astronomy binocular ever made, alongside the Fujinon 10x70 FMT-SX. Its phenomenal light gathering power, coupled with its incredibly relaxed view and generous eye relief, give some of the best views of the night sky that I have ever experienced. It will have its own section in my forthcoming book about the world's finest binoculars.

It uses the highest quality fully multi-coated Japanese glass and Nikon's highly advanced field-flatening technology to give the brighest and sharpest images possible, right to the edge of the field of view. It has individual focussers for each eye to get the sharpest possible images. You'll be blown away by the view! Build quality is also extremely high on this model, and is it fully waterproof for a lifetime of use in all weathers.

As well as being a wonderful astronomy binocular, this instrument is also superb for long-range terrestrial use. It gives 'picture window' views of the landscape with very rich colours and super sharp images - an absolute delight. It can be tripod mounted for rock steady viewing (highly recommended), and I will include a good quality metal Opticron adapter that will enable it to be used with any standard photographic tripod.

This model does not come up for sale often on the used market, especially in this superb condition. I am expecting a lot of interest, given the huge rise in the popularity of astronomy, so get your bids in early. This is sure to be an eBay 'hot auction'.

This model comes with trusted pedigree of the highly respected Japanese binocular manufacturer Nikon. It is a luxury instrument - truly the best of the best - and will last a lifetime.

This auction is for:

-the binocular & its strap

-rainguard

-objective caps

-tripod adapter, very nice metal Opticron model

-a sturdy case with strap. The case is not Nikon branded but is Japanese-made, and fits the binocular very nicely, with room for the strap, rainguard etc. The case has a lovely red felt lining and is of excellent quality.

Condition is really excellent, with super clear optics and coatings and spectacular viewing.

There are some light marks on the body of the binocular. The eyepiece adjusters are both very smooth. The central hinge has the correct tension. The binocular is correctly aligned and gives sensational views. The case looks unused.

Before bidding please read the listing in full and study the close-up photos, to make sure this is the right binocular for you.

Don't miss this chance to own this awesome astronomy binocular from leading Japanese maker Nikon. A real feast for your eyes and very hard to find in the UK.
