### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Prostaff 5 12x50 BARGAIN Long distance viewing
*by I***S on 10 November 2019*

I have a very good pair of Vanguard Endeavor Hoya lensed EDII 8x42 which I use for wild life and bird spotting but wanted as a back up a higher magnification pair for long distance viewing as I live in a very hilly area and wanted to see distances of 5 -15 miles up closer. I've tried various zoom and higher magnification binos which didn't suit and then after trawling through many options saw these 12x50 Prostaffs at a very good price -' like new but with a damaged box'. At first I was a little disappointed for the reasons many state - poor accessories and the eye cups were a little loose (nothing major) but enough to make me doubt them. I've tried them along side my others which have a brighter image in rainy dull conditions and then tried them in bright sunshine. They were very good and distances of 10-15 miles came in pretty clear - I was shocked. Field of view at 82m seemed fine to me - my 8's have 126m and it didnt seem much different. If you're are looking to use them for close viewing - forget it, 5m stated even though I got 3/4 ish metres wasn't particularly good but acceptable for a 12. They are very light - not much weight difference in the hand to my 8x42's and so didn't experience much shake. They feel very comfortable and well balanced and realise that Nikon sell on the quality of their lenses not all the fancy gubbins that go with it. The rubber body cover is a bit sticky and might get mucky pretty quickly but over all they are great value for what I paid - £124 ($150 ) instead of £199 ($245) I'm sure there are many better options but far more expensive but if you want a stand by and can get them at this sort of price then you have a bargain.
