    Heads Up - Nikon Venturer 8x42 Binocular

    https://www.lcegroup.co.uk/Used/Nikon-8x42_184513.html I'm fairly sure these are an older Nikon Venturer 8x42 7º waterproof binocular AG or HG and would have cost c. £1000 or more when new … The 'Average' grading likely refers to the rubber armour and if the optics are OK they are a bargain. If they weigh over 1kg they have lead glass optics . If anyone is seriously looking for a high end quality binocular this likely ticks all the boxes and has very good eye relief … but ask the dealer to check eyecups for wear. I have the same binocular myself bought s/h from Birdfair 2014 when compared it (observing dealer's targets) with high end Zeiss, Swarovski and Meopta … and the Nikon Venturer 8x42 7º was the best on offer for clarity and wide FOV.
