Review on Nikon 7238 Action EX Extreme 8X40mm All Terrain Binoculars with Improved SEO by Somchai Vongxaiburan ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

I chose between this and Nikon Action EX 10x50 - yes, 10x zooms in a little better, but due to strong aberration and shaky picture - you can see it no more than in Nikon Action EX 8x40, while 8x40 is lighter, more compact, cheaper. And unlike the Nikon Aculon series, the advantages in gas filling (moisture-dust protection) and the metal bridge of the eyepiece (in the Aculon series it is plastic and when pressed to the eyebrows, the clarity of the picture walks) played a role in favor of Action EX. I also decided that for a magnification of more than 8x, I’d better buy an inexpensive 12x-20x monocular. Those. it is better to use a large magnification when you know exactly where to look and what you need to consider. In my opinion, it is extremely difficult to survey, moreover, from the hands, with a magnification of more than 8. With all this, I can see passing satellites at 8 times with excellent clarity, and at the same time, thanks to a good viewing angle, they are easy to find in the sky.

Pros
  • Excellent aperture, you can see the beast on the field in the light of the moon. Very sharp, nice to watch for a long time and at the same time the eyesight is not strained.
Cons
  • Lens caps are terrible - they come off the strap very easily due to the slot, i. E. their loss approaches the probability of 100% i. E. only a matter of time. Therefore, it is more correct to leave them in a box and never use them :(
