Nikon introduces the WX series of super-wide-angle binoculars. The WX 10×50 IF ($6,399.95) features a proprietary field-flattener lens system to correct for field curvature and other optical aberrations across its entire 76.4° apparent field of view, providing pinpoint stars to the edge of the periphery. The binoculars use high-transmission Abbe-Koenig prisms and three ED lens elements to provide bright, razor-sharp views of stars and daylight targets free of color fringing. Each eyepiece individually focuses, each uses a turn-and-slide eyecup to block stray light. Its inter-pupil adjustment ranges from 58 to 78 mm, and the binoculars provide a generous eye relief of 15.3 mm. Each purchase includes a hard case, neck strap, and tripod adapter.
