Take a Look at Nikon's New Action Series of Binoculars with Incredible Clarity and Affordable Pricing

MELVILLE, NY / ACCESS Newswire / February 10, 2026 / Today Nikon has announced the introduction of the new ACTION and ACTION ZOOM binocular series. Whether birding, hiking or spotting the scenery, these new binoculars give users an affordable option for incredible clarity at a variety of distances.

These new ACTION series are the successor models to the popular and highly acclaimed ACULON A211 binoculars, which are the standard Porro prism type models in Nikon's binocular lineup. The ACTION and ACTION ZOOM series consists of seven models; 8x42, 10x42, 7x50, 10x50, 12x50, 16x50 and 10-22x50. All models feature newly developed optical systems as well as new exterior designs, giving users enhanced handling and usability and improved performance for both optical quality and ergonomic handling compared to previous models.

The 10x42, 12x50, and 16x50 models provide an apparent field of view of 60 degrees or more, qualifying them as wide field of view models. Eye relief has also been extended for most of the models in the series, (except the 16x50 model) offering long eye relief of 15mm or more - ensuring comfortable viewing even while wearing eyeglasses or sunglasses.

Regarding the exterior design, the new series adopts an ergonomic form that provides excellent operability and a secure, comfortable grip. The binocular body employs aluminum alloy and is encased in rubber armor that ensures a secure grip and comfortable handling, realizing high durability which users can confidently rely on.

In addition, the ACTION Series offers improved specifications in a wide-ranging lineup of models, with attractive pricing. This makes the ACTION and ACTION ZOOM series models an ideal choice for both those who are new to binoculars, as well as experienced users seeking reliable performance.
