The Nikon ED 120 is an advanced spotting scope designed for nature enthusiasts, birdwatchers, and outdoor photographers who desire extraordinary image clarity and color fidelity in their observational pursuits.

Additionally, the scope is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed, ensuring it remains waterproof and fog-proof, providing assurance that the quality of the view remains uncompromised in damp or humid conditions.

The Nikon ED 120 features a large objective lens diameter, which allows for maximum light-gathering capacity.
