Nikon Sportstar EX 8x25 CF (silver)

• Compact dual-hinge body: The folding design slips easily into a jacket pocket, daypack or glovebox, making these binoculars practical for travel, spectator sports and everyday outdoor use.
• 8x magnification with 25 mm objectives: This configuration gives enough reach to pick out distant details while keeping the binocular light and steady in the hand for quick viewing.
• Multicoated optics: Nikon’s multilayer-coated lenses help maintain image brightness and contrast, which is useful when viewing in mixed light or under overcast skies.
• Nitrogen-filled waterproof, fogproof construction: The sealed housing resists internal fogging and handles damp weather better, so the binocular remains ready for changing outdoor conditions.
• Wide 8.2° field of view: A broad viewing angle makes it easier to follow moving subjects such as players, performers or birds without constantly readjusting the binocular.

About the Nikon Sportstar Series

The Nikon Sportstar series sits in Nikon’s compact binoculars lineup and is built for users who want a small, easy-to-carry optic for everyday outings rather than a full-size field binocular. Across the range, Nikon offers both roof-prism Sportstar EX models and a zoom version, giving the series a clear focus on portability and convenience. Nikon positions Sportstar binoculars for spectator sports and travel, while the EX versions are also suited to birdwatching and general outdoor use.

A defining trait of the series is its balance of compact dimensions with features normally expected from more substantial binoculars. Sportstar EX models are nitrogen-filled and built with waterproof and fog-proof construction, which makes them more dependable in variable weather than many basic pocket binoculars. Nikon also equips Sportstar EX and Zoom models with central focusing, multilayer-coated optics and turn-and-slide rubber eyecups, all of which support quick handling and straightforward viewing in the field. The result is a family of compact binoculars designed for users who value low weight, simple operation and practical outdoor durability.

About the Nikon Sportstar EX 8x25 CF (silver)

The Nikon Sportstar EX 8x25 CF (silver) is a compact binocular built around a practical formula: 8x magnification for useful reach, a 25 mm objective for manageable size, and a folding body that is easy to carry all day. This makes it well suited to travel, hiking, stadium use and casual wildlife observation where a full-size binocular would be unnecessarily bulky. The 8x format is also easier to hold steadily than higher magnifications, which helps preserve detail in real use.

Its roof prism Schmidt/Pechan design keeps the body slim, while the dual-hinge construction allows it to fold down compactly for transport. A 143.50 m/1000m field of view gives the binocular an open, easy-viewing character that helps when tracking moving subjects or scanning broad scenes. The 3.13 mm exit pupil and multicoated optics support a clear, contrast-rich image in daylight and in the softer light often encountered during morning or late-afternoon outings.

Handling is straightforward thanks to the central focusing system, which allows quick adjustment with minimal hand movement, while the right-eye diopter adjustment helps fine-tune the image to the user’s eyesight. Nikon also gives this model nitrogen filling together with waterproof and fogproof construction, so it is better prepared for damp air, light rain and temperature changes than a basic compact binocular. At 300.00 g, it remains light enough to carry regularly without becoming a burden.

About Nikon

Nikon was established in Tokyo on July 25, 1917, as Nippon Kogaku K.K., and it remains headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. The company has long worked across precision-focused fields including imaging products, precision equipment, healthcare, industry, components and digital manufacturing, which helps explain its strong reputation for optical engineering. In sport optics, Nikon’s range includes binoculars, fieldscopes and laser rangefinders, covering everything from compact travel models to more advanced observation tools.

Nikon’s history in binoculars goes back many decades, including the introduction of its MIKRON compact binoculars in 1921. Its modern binocular families include MONARCH, PROSTAFF, EDG, ACULON and High Grade, with many models using multilayer-coated lenses to improve light transmission. The company adopted the Nikon Corporation name on April 1, 1988, but its core identity has remained closely tied to precision optics and durable field-use design.
