Pros & Cons

Pros

High powered binoculars that are comfortable to use. Feels very handy, and not a problem to hold steady if seated. Did a lot of research here at amazon, at some speciality websites and at the local store.

After 2 weeks daily use birdwatching, i'm satisfied this item is as good or better than i hoped/expected them to be. These 12x50s give me a view to the crow tree half a block away where crow, northern flickers, and woodpeckers frolic. You will not be ...  Read More

Nikon 12x50 gives a great view both terrestrial and astronomy. Up sun flare is tolerable and diminished. Recommend a tripod and adapter.

The actual product is awesome, but i lucked out as the shipping left a lot to be desired. Outstanding quality at a very affordable price. No bells and whistles, just a good product from nikon.

Quality


The optics are excellent and they are light enough that i could hold securely with stable images


Very easy to adjust easy to site and not at all hard to use especially given the 12x power


The nikon really excels in sharpness at the center


The front caps are so cheap and flimsy i am shocked they were put out by nikon

Price


Considering the 150 price this product seems to be an excellent value


To be expected at this price point and magnification


But at more than double the cost i seriously cannot justify the purchase and returned them


There is some chromatic abberation but that too is unavoidable at this price

Shipping


From the time i dropped it off for shipping repair time and return only five days had passed


I shipped it via ups to the nikon warranty location


The actual product is awesome but i lucked out as the shipping left a lot to be desired

Competitiveness

It cleanly split the double albireo and i was able to find the 3 messier clusters in auriga very quickly


I have purchased binoculars from other companies but they dont compare with these


I dont know a lot about optics so i may be influenced by my comparing them to my previous set of bushnells
