Don't worry about my feelings. Here is what you ignored about Nikon since 2011. Assume you were Nikon's Marketing Chief after the Tsunami in 2011 hit Sendai, home of Nikon's flagship manufacturing facility. How would you have handled Nikon's marketing problems and prioritized them... -

JG, I just told you in Post 94 that I knew nothing about marketing and asked for your analysis on how you would have handled Nikon's marketing errors. If you have a reading comprehension problem I think we should drop this discussion now. Bob -

JG, I have no idea. I don't even know if they did market them correctly or not because I have no experience in marketing. I assume you do and I have been waiting for your analysis of Nikon's marketing errors in selling their binoculars amd scopes as the case may be. Bob -

Nikon 7 / 8 x 42 EDG experiences sought
I never could understand why anybody in their right mind would pay $2000.00 for any binocular when one can find demos and closeouts for much less money with a little patience. I never paid anywhere near $2000.00 for a binocular. In fact my brand new 10x32 EDG I cost me $999.00 and Nikon... -

Dennis, As i pointed our a number of times I received excellent customer warranty support from Nikon when I had problems with my 10x32 EDG I and Monarch HG 8x42 so that is not an issue with me. As far as Nikon expressing "disinterest" in the EDGs that is pure nonsense! Otherwise Nikon would... -

Ultimately one has to ask one's self "Who cares what "X". "Y" or "Z" likes about the "Color bias" or "Brightness" of a binocular? It is purely a subjective opinion. Pay no attention to it and decide what binocular you like by trying them yourself; choose one accordingly and don't look... -

It is also important to remember that these "small pieces of a big pie" are useful as advertising in keeping Nikon's and Zeiss's names before the public whenever they are being used for their recreational purposes. Even the low priced ones. Bob -

Dennis, Thanks for those links from Tobias; particularly the first link. I am going to post it here again so no one misses it because the discussion we are having now took place before! https://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=315712 Do you remember Brock? He has much to say in it about... -

Andy, Likewise with me. I bought mine from Camera Land and registered it with Nikon on line when I got it. When it shortly developed a wandering diopter I contacted Nikon and returned it to them as instructed and they replaced it with a new one very quickly. It is still working fine after a... -

Dennis, I'm curious. Considering your critical analysis of the EDGs above, why do you think Allbinos ranked the EDGs as high as they did? Here are Allbinos rankings of the EDGs compared with the rankings of the equivalent Swarovski, Zeiss and Leica binoculars. The EDG was ranked 1st in the... -

Andy, It doesn't much matter with the EDGs anymore. They were discontinued over a year ago. Those who have one have a great binocular but it is pointless to argue over Nikon's "marketing" of them anymore! https://www.birdforum.net/showpost.php?p=3690780&postcount=1... -

I'm not a Nikon "Homer" JG. I have and use various "Alpha" binoculars. That's the problem with having a "discussion" with you here on Bird Forum. One can't carry on a conversation with you without you sneaking in a cheap shot. Have a nice day! Bob -

You can buy Nikon binoculars directly from Nikon. Bring up Nikon Sport Optics and find the binocular you would like to purchase. Click on "Buy Now" and follow the instructions (I think there is $50.00 off right now on the Monarch MGs.) There are also buyer's reviews with them and you can... -

How should they have marketed them? I had no problem getting mine. They were introduced in the USA in 2007 or 2008 through the normal retail channels. I bought a 10x32 EDG I in 2010 from Eagle Optics and registered it with Nikon. When it began having problems with the covering bubbling in... -

Dennis, The guy who runs the Allbinos review of binoculars has no problems with the EDG's "brightness" which is a factor included in his ratings. Overall, (which includes the EDG's light transmission) he ranks the following EDG binoculars as follows: 8x32 EDG: #1 among the 8x32s. Total of... -

Nikon seems to have a lot other things on their minds when it comes to making money. Camera's are a very big business. If you check the "Public Profile" in their website you will find (among all the other business they have been doing with Cameras, etc.) that since March 2016 Nikon has... -
