Just in time for panto season, Nikon’s 4x10D CF binoculars have arrived on the DCW test slab. With their dinky, almost business-card-sized length and width, plus 19mm ‘thickness’ comparable to my thumb, they could also be described as opera glasses.
Availability is currently offered in black, ivory-white, or amber-brown, though I have also seen wine-red, navy, and champagne-gold alternatives online. I was sent the black option for review, which would be the colorway I’d personally choose, especially for surreptitious use in a theater setting where I don’t want to be a distraction and annoy my seated neighbours.
