Description of Nikon MARINE IF WP Binoculars

Nikon offers special marine binoculars made in Japan with IF and WP abbreviations which stand for Individual Focusing and Waterproof ability. 7x50 IF WP binoculars are lightweight and compact for comfortable portability, fully waterproof and offer incredibly bright images. They are especially suitable for marine applications such as sailing, boating, and other adventures near the water such as fishing.

Basic Features

The IF WP marine binoculars by Nikon are built using Polycarbonate housing that makes them extremely lightweight. The size of these Porro prism binoculars is small, which makes them great ergonomically and offers comfortable handling and portability when using them for longer periods of time. They are enclosed in rubber armouring with soft surface that gives a “stickly” and safe non-slip grip. The rubberized construction is also able to protect them against impacts and corrosion. As any other marine binoculars, they are fully waterproof thanks to their tight seals. This blocks out the water and dust that might damage the construction on a long run due to the mold and corrosion. They are also filled with nitrogen gas that is able to eliminate internal condensation when you face quick temperature changes in the nature. The IF WP marine binoculars by Nikon offer individual focusing mechanism that additionally helps to protect the construction. This focusing adjustments give you a possibility to get a suitable image by rotating both eyecups separately. They are also tripod adaptable, very convenient for shaky hands when facing a volatile weather.

Optical Properties

Nikon IF WP Marine binoculars are suitable for short-range observations even in the most challenging light conditions. The 7x magnification is less powerful but will provide optimal observations without shakiness, especially convenient when on a boat. 50mm objective lens draws in plenty of light to get enough bright and sharp. Porro prism system enhances light transmission together with fully multi-coated system. This means all the lenses are multi-coated using the best optical coatings which not only provide extreme brightness but also enhance colors, contrast and give you crisp and clear view-through. The IF WP marine binoculars by Nikon don’t have multi-positioned eyecups. The eyepieces are foldable and well designed to offer large eye-relief so the viewing is vignette-free even for those wearing eye glasses.

Accessories

The MARINE IF WP comes in a padded case for storage and protection with a strap. There is also added thin strap for carrying binoculars around the neck. For additional protection of the lenses Nikon Marine IF WP is also equipped with objective lens covers and eyepiece covers.

Marine binoculars are designed to be used at sea, where magnification over 7x usually causes seasickness. These binoculars also offer great protection against the water and are not sensitive to high temperatures or their housing being exposed to sunlight.

Many of these binoculars also include a compass or some kind of reticle for range finding.

General features:

Waterproof housing
Porro prism design
7x magnification
Individual focusing
Compass
A reticle for range estimations

Marine Binoculars with a Compass

At sea, having a compass is very useful for navigating and coordinating positions. To combine the compass and binoculars in one device seemed logical so that you do not have two things at once in your hands.

There are 2 principles of displaying the compass reading:

An analog scale on the bottom of the field of view of the compass with degrees written on (can be illuminated in more expensive models)
The digital display in the middle of the field of view (push the button to read the degrees, transparent display, which reduces transmittance. The compass is easier to use if it displays degrees in the middle).

Built-in Rangefinder

Rangefinding Binoculars are more or less all very similar- having a scale in the middle of the field of view, with which you can calculate the distance to the observed objects if you know their size.

Good „miling“ requires a lot of experience and good prediction. It is the same principle as with tactical riflescopes. The scale is milliradian.

For now, there are no marine binoculars available with the laser rangefinder.

Why is 7x50 the most common Marine Binoculars configuration?

The 7x50 has established itself as a golden standard. While looking through the binoculars the 7x magnification does not shake the image to the point of getting seasickness, and our brains can normally compensate it.

Most of them have Porro prism because it makes them easier to seal and individual focus for each eye separately. 50 mm objective lens and 7x magnification give the 7 mm exit pupil, which is the most comfortable to use as it eliminates the trembling and allows us to always see a "full" picture.

Marine Binoculars with Image Stabilization and Individual Focusing

Image Stabilization

Most modern marine binoculars have this function, as it is possible to use higher magnification for better details. Normally, such binoculars are larger, heavier, and more expensive.

They usually do not offer as good resolution as the classic ones with the same magnification. It is also a major weakness that they are not as reliable (less permeable if they fall into the sea and less resistant to falls) and bumps and are less bright.

They do, however, offer the use of higher magnification on moving boats due to their ability to stabilize the image.

Individual Focusing

This feature is extremely common in this type of binoculars, as it also achieves the best water tightness.

Steiner Marine Binoculars

In Europe, Steiner has become an established provider of marine binocular to the extent that nobody else in the premium class actually produces them anymore (Zeiss, Leica, Swarovski ...).

Steiner has 3 series of this type of binoculars.

Low Light Binoculars

Configuration 7x50 and Porro prism are optimal because of a 7mm exit pupil, good light transmission, and focusing separated for each eye.

All these features mean that this type of binoculars is also the best choice for observing in the dark.

Due to all of the above configurations, they are perfect for dusk and dawn - however, they are not popular in hunting due to their special appearance, size, and inadequate colors.
