Nikon Premier LX L (10x42) Binocular

From the moment you pick up the New Premier LX 42mm, what you notice right away is its absence of weight - six and a half ounces - or 19% less than the original LX. (28.0 vs 34.5 ounces in the 8x42 / 27.8 vs. 34.5 ounces in the 10x42.) Nikon also reduced the weight of their already lightweight 32mm and compact LX models. To trim weight we utilize a tough, new magnesium alloy body - just as rugged as the previous aluminum alloy body, but lighter in weight. And to further reduce heft, we cloned the outstanding qualities of the LX lens system and rebuilt it out of Nikon's lead and arsenic free Eco Glass - a substantially lighter-weight alternative that is also much friendlier to the environment than typical leaded glass.
