Q1: Does a case ordinarily come with the binoculars or is that an "extra" expense?

A: All of the Nikon's come with a carrying case. This particular model comes with a soft case, objective and eye covers, and a neck strap.

Q2: Do you carry binoculars which also take a digital photo of what is being seen?

A: Dear Bonnie, We carry several different brands and models of binoculars with digital cameras. You can view them on our website here: http://digital.binoculars.com/.

Q3: Do Nikon 7*50 Action binoculars have a rangefinding reticle? Where I can find military binoculars with reticle?

A: Unfortunately, Nikon's 7x50 Action binoculars don't come with a range-finding reticle. Bushnell makes a Marine Binocular with compass and reticle for $129. Here's the URL; just paste it into your browser's address window to see them: http://binoculars.com/products/Bushnell_7x50__Marine_wIlluminated_Compass__Rangefinding_Reticle_5680.html. Zhumell makes true military binoculars with reticle. We've sold a number of them to military personnel of several nations for $475. Here's the URL: http://binoculars.com/products/Zhumell_7x50_Military_30895.html. And, finally, Steiner has been making mil-spec binoculars with reticle for years. Here's the URL for a pair of 7x50s at $749: http://binoculars.com/products/Steiner_7x50_R_Military_M22LPF_28069.html.

Q4: I understant that the Nikon 7X50 Action binocular has the objective lens multicoated. What about the rest of the lenses? How many lenses, beside the objective lens, have coatings?

A: Nikon informs us that ALL air-to-glass surfaces have multicoatings, as do the prisms.

Q5: What is the weight of the Nikon 7X50? - are there any that are light weight and could be carried in her purse?

A: Nikon 7x50 Action binoculars weigh 35 ounces and measure 8.1 x 7.2 inches, so they would not be suitable for carrying in a purse. For that purpose, you might consider 8x25 SportStar black binoculars. They're small, measuring only 2.8 x 4.9 inches folded, and they weigh only about a half-pound.
