Nikon's newest Fieldscope is also its smallest. Who else but Nikon Sport Optics could put so much in such as small package? Now weight conscious hunters and birders won't have to trade quality to get pack-ability--and because it is fully adaptable to Nikon's Digiscoping eyepieces and camera brackets, the versatility of this scope is second-to-none.

The Nikon ED50 Fieldscope combines all the proven performance of Nikon's Fieldscope line at less than half the weight (16.1oz) of a typical-sized spotting scope. Perfect for in-the-field performance when the field you're in is a long, long way from camp. The Fieldscope's proven Nikon ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass means sharp, clean edge-to-edge clarity and resolution while the fully multicoated lenses guarantee premium brightness. Available in an angled or straight body to suit anyone's preference, this scope is the perfect companion on long journeys.

"A lot of my best hunts are ones where weight is critical both in what I can carry to the hunt and what I use while hunting," said Dr. Warren Strickland, noted bowhunter and member of Nikon's Field Recon Team. "You can bet the super lightweight 50mm ED will be joining me on a lot of hunts this fall."

The small size of this new Fieldscope doesn't mean it isn't rugged, however. Nikon's ED50 is built to handle the abuse found on tough backcountry hunts with a tough, lightweight body. It's also O-ring sealed and nitrogen-filled for proven waterproof, fogproof protection.

The 50mm ED Fieldscope is tripod and window mountable and comes as an outfit or as body only. Plus it's compatible with six Fieldscope eyepieces (27x, 20x, 27xWide, 40x Wide, 13-30x Zoom and 13-40x Zoom) and three Digiscoping eyepieces (16x Wide, 24x Wide and 40x Wide), making it one of the most versatile tools in your pack. Like all Nikon binoculars, and spotting scopes, the 50mm ED is protected by Nikon's 25-year warranty as well as the No Fault repair/replacement policy.
