Nikon Fieldscope Eyepieces

Nikon FEP-20W Eyepiece

Nikon Eyepiece Guide

All of the Nikon Fieldscopes and Spotting Scopes apart from the Spotter XL II have interchangeable eyepieces, which means that you can make the scope work best for your particular needs or indeed have a number of different eyepieces for different uses.

Each of Nikon's main ranges of scopes have their own eyepieces:


Nikon EDG Eyepieces

Nikon 50x FEP-50W EyepieceThese are designed to be used with the Nikon EDG Fieldscopes, their top of the range fieldscopes and so as you would expect so are their eyepieces.

EDG Eyepieces FEP Series

There are seven eyepieces for optimum optical performance, all fully multilayer coated giving you the greatest flexibility possible. There are 5 wide angle eyepieces ranging from 20x to a massive 75x magnification, one with a 20-60x zoom eyepiece that offers superb optical performance with minimized distortion and long eye relief (18.4-16.5mm).

The eyepieces mount onto the body with a bayonet locking design that is really easy to attach and release as well as secure. As well as being both fogproof wand waterproof*, Nikon have a field flattener lens system that corrects overall aberration for a sharper, clearer edge-to-edge image.

*An important point to note is that while the eyepieces and the scopes themselves are filled with nitrogen gas and O-ring sealed making them waterproof and fog proof, the body-and eyepiece joint is only water-resistant.

Whilst these eyepieces are designed to fit the 85/85-A and the smaller 65/65-A, their magnifications, field of view exit pupil and relative brightness will depend on which scope you are using (see the specifications chart below)

Eyecups
Turn-and-slide eyecups are used that have three click stops: 1) for observing with the naked eye, 2) for observing with eyeglasses, 3) for digiscoping (except FEP-30W, FEP-25 LER and FEP-20-60)

There are eight eyepieces giving you the greatest flexibility possible. The MC in their name stands for Multilayer Coating meaning that all lenses on these eyepieces are multilayer coated for maximum brightness of view field and all optics employ Eco-glass containing no arsenic or lead.
