The Nikon 4x10D CF Pocket Binoculars answer a question you've probably never asked yourself: How small, light and stylish can binoculars be before you stop taking them seriously? At just 19 mm thick and 65 g in weight, they are the thinnest piece of optical technology in the world, and you can take them anywhere - to the theater, to a museum, to a concert or a walk around the city. And the new color palette (dark blue, ivory white, amber brown) also positions them as a fashion statement in 2025. Why are these binoculars so much more than a magnification tool? Read why they have become a symbol of clear vision, minimalism and discreet elegance.
Most binoculars aren't exactly the stuff of desire - but the Nikon 4x10D CF is the optical equivalent of a tuxedo in a pocket-sized package. If you want a stylish accessory that you can take to an evening event or concert, this is the model you'll be happy to show off. Why are more and more Slovenians swapping digital zoom for analog focus? Because the view through the Nikon 4x10D CF is simply better.

Multi-coated lenses for crystal clear images
All lenses and prisms are multi-coated, ensuring a bright, sharp, glare-free image. Even in low light conditions, you'll see details that digital zoom can't capture.
Minimum focusing distance – ideal for museums and galleries
With a focus as close as 1.2m, they are ideal for close observation of artwork, exhibits and architectural details without causing alarm or being too conspicuous. No diopter adjustment, menus or need for charging. Set the distance between your eyes and focus – that’s it.
