Nikon 10x50 WX IF Binocular

The Nikon WX series is crafted to make viewing as comfortable as possible, even for long periods of observation. Magnesium alloy ensures the body is sturdy yet lightweight, while the turn-and-slide rubber eyecups make viewing enjoyable – however long your stargazing session may be. Six clicks on the eyecups enable easy positioning of your eyes at the correct eyepoint, so you’re ready to experience a new world of stargazing straight away. Click intervals become finer as the eyecups are extended, for easier adjustment by those who don’t wear glasses.

Optical Performance

Powerful 10x magnification allows for detailed observations of distant subjects

Large 50mm objective lenses boost light-gathering ability for improved performance in challenging conditions, such as during the pre-dawn and late evening hours

Compact Abbe-Koenig roof prism system

Phase-correcting prism coatings compensate for internal phase shifts, improving resolution and contrast

Extra low-dispersion (ED) glass corrects chromatic aberrations, which cause color fringing, and improves clarity, contrast, and resolution

Broadband fully multicoated optics improve light transmission, color rendition, contrast, and clarity across the entire visual spectrum

Field-flattener lens system eliminates curvature distortion at the edges of the field of view

Eyepiece lenses are engineered to eliminate astigmatism and comas to improve sharpness, clarity, and contrast

Ultra-wide 76° apparent angle of view

472' field of view at 1000 yards

Use and Handling

Closed-bridge configuration

Abbe-Koenig prisms allow for a slimmer optical tube and greater in-hand balance without sacrificing performance

Individual eyepiece focusing enables ultra-precise focusing for any user, with etched indicators for repeatability

Helical focusing system allows eyepieces to move forward and back without rotating, ensuring the optical axis does not change to improve focusing sharpness

-6/+5 dioptric correction allows users to compensate for individual optical prescriptions for sharper views

Broad 58-78mm interpupillary distance adjustment range enables easy use by a wide variety of users

Twist-up, six-position click-stop rubber eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear

55mm objective filter threads (P=0.75) allow the use of optional filters, such as neutral density or polarizing, to enhance the viewing experience

Comfortable 15.3mm eye relief allows users with eyewear to see the entire field of view without vignetting

5mm exit pupil ensures complete coverage for most users when their pupils are fully dilated in low-light conditions
