Nikon Aculon A211 12 x 50 Binocular - Black, few

I wanted a pair of 7x50s as this size is a good all rounder, good for daylight use and because of the size of the exit pupil these are very good for Astronomy. I tend to find 10x50s a bit clunky to carry around, 8x40s are nice for bird watching but the 50mm lens are better for low light levels. They are a little bit heaver then a pair of 8x40s but not by much, they are lighter then my old 7x50s so I will be able to hold them up for a while without tiring. At £70(£199 rec. price) these are excellent value, the optics as you would expect being Nikon are first class. The focusing and dioptre rings were a bit stiff after being in storage but soon became loosened up after being wind up and down a few times. I liked the eyepiece cups a lot, they don't simple unfold but wind in and out, with two or three positions instead of one. The strap was a bit fiddly to fit but after a while I got it right, I like the fact that the eyepiece cap can unhooked from one end, thus it hangs down out of your way. Also the main lens caps can be hooked on to the strap, therefore it's less likely to lose them. They come with a nice soft storage case but this has no strap, however there is a square of material sown top and bottom at the back which would allow some sort of cord to be threaded through then knotted together to form a strap. However this is only a minor detail. All in all these are a very good all round pair of binoculars which should give good service for years to come.

At this price.......brilliant quality bins. Yes, the more you spend, in theory everything improves. But these are solidly made, relatively light with a rubberized feeling coating. There are detents on the underside for your thumbs maintaining a good grip whilst focusing and also a tripod adapter mount fixing just in front of the focus ring. Very bright image and stable at 7 x 50 magnification at full zoom. Very clear too, diopter adjustment extendable eye cups on mean I can abandon my eye glasses and use without. Decent enough strap and lens covers. Padded carry case is great and includes a 'loop' so you can attach it to your trouser belt. A brilliant tool at this price, you won't be disappointed

Quality imaging for a wide range of uses; bird spotting particularly good. Only niggle is about the method of attaching the lens covers to the 'neck band' when the Binoculars are in use; the large covers drop off too easily. Have had the binoculars for 6 weeks and carry them with me wherever I travel. Have had a good quality pair for 40 years and just amazed at the increased quality of the Nikon 10x50 User would benefit from using a tripod in certain circumstances. I would recommend to both the professional or pleasure user.

These binoculars are fantastic and a joy to use. The image quality is better than my other binoculars which cost twice as much. There is a bit of distortion visible at the far outer edges but this is normal with all binoculars. The centre of the view is crystal clear though, and the field of view is nice and wide. As others have said the objective lens caps are a little flimsy and are prone to fall out if you're not careful. Strap is good quality and carry case is fine for the price. The eye relief is quite short, so if you need to keep spectacles on, you would struggle to get a full field of view. Overall the build quality is great for the price, and they feel reassuringly solid to hold. Out of all my binoculars, I find these the most fun to use. Recommended 100%

I use these for night sky viewing. The quality is as you'd expect from Nikon (high). Easy to focus and adjust. Good quality carrying case makes them easier to travel with. It's a hard choice whether to go for the 8 or 10 times zoom and I'd probably recommend going for the 8x40's for first time night sky watchers as you will notice less hand shake and they are lighter. These 10x50's are still really enjoyable but rather tiring on the arms. For those that haven't tried night sky watching through bino's then you'll be amazed at the amount of satellites going over you. Easy spot a dozen every minute and I'm in a high light pollution area.

This 7x50 binoculars i bought for stargazing and i gotta say they do the job perfectly. The 7x zoom is perfect to be able to easily handhold without your handshaking being annoying. Wide field of view allows easy navigation along constellations. So far was able to see andromeda galaxy from light polluted london, but ofcourse is just a small smudge but still impressive for binoculars. The moon looks amazing, can see craters clearly and using both eyes gives it a realistic 3d shape, as if its right in front of you. Could also easily see jupiters moons as well. The picture quality in day time is superb, and the focusing mechanism works greats Was able to even take a moon picture with my iphone7 through the binos, but its nothing compare to what you see with your eyes

Parfaitement conforme à mes attentes et certainement à la hauteur de la marque !

ممتاز
