About this deal

We particularly like the large, easy-to-grip center-focus knob that allows for adjustments on chilly evenings without needing to remove gloves. The 6.9-degree field of view is also quite good, in our opinion. Pentax VD 4x20Although they may not be a top recommendation, we've included these binoculars for their cleverness and novelty factor.★★½ If you wear glass and want to use binoculars then go for Nikon Travelite 8x because of its 14 mm eye relief. The aspherical eyepiece lens of the binoculars along with reverse Porro prism design work together to make these reduce curvature that helps minimize image distortion. The compact lens allows for easier handling. The field of view of the binoculars at 1000m (1km/0.6 miles) is 110m (361 feet). Since 17.5m at a distance of 1000m corresponds to 1 degree of the night sky, the binoculars give an angular field of view of 6.2 degrees (110 divided by 17.5). For comparison, the angular size of the full Moon in the sky is about half a degree, so in other words, the field of view of the Nikon Travelite EX 8x25 binoculars is 12 full moon widths.

angular field of view of 4.2° or 240ft/73m at 1,000yds/m — it's actually a fairly limited viewing area for the 12X25 user. Porro prisms give a delightful, three-dimensional view that not many roof prism designs can duplicate.

However, we've included them because they can still give you that 'wow' experience when you use their 18x magnification to observe the moon for the first time. model in the 1990s. Nikon's historians tell us that the predecessor Travelite V series was introduced inThe Nikon Travelite EX 8x25 binoculars are compact yet exceptionally robust and durable. With a rubberized coating and effective waterproofing, they are designed to withstand immersion in water up to two meters deep for up to five minutes. This makes them an excellent option for various outdoor activities such as nature walks, wildlife observation, sporting events and some casual stargazing. The latest upgrade to the Nikon Travelite binocular series feature a new, ergonomically shaped, carbon-fiber body that is not only strong, but makes them more comfortable to use for long viewing sessions. The optics impressed us in our Nikon Aculon T02 8x21 review, giving pin-sharp views of the moon with just a little chromatic aberration along the lunar limb which was barely noticeable. The focuser is very accurate and allows for minute movements to get your object of interest perfectly in focus, and they also have excellent color fidelity. seems to us that if you know about it ahead of time, however, the blurred ring isn't likely to be as much of a distraction as it was for us initially. For our test, we headed 750 feet (229 meters) above sea level and atop of Westbury White Horse Hill, United Kingdom, a favorite location to take in the views at the edge of Salisbury Plain. The observing conditions were fair, with no precipitation, next-to-no reduction in visibility and with less than 20% of the sky covered in cloud.

Birds appear close with the 8x magnification and a field of view of 330 feet at 1000 yards. I don’t like using binoculars that offer too much magnification as I have a hard time holding them steady and higher magnification magnifies not only the subject but any shake as well. For me, this renders high-powered binoculars useless as trying to identify a bird that appears to be moving up and down is virtually impossible. For this reason, 8x magnification for me is right on the money. The multi-coated lenses deliver clear bright images and I’ve always found multi-coated lenses easier to clean with less streaking. Quality optics don’t have to cost a fortune, these Nikon’s are budget-friendly. As lovely as these binoculars are, it's hard to get away from the fact that you can buy larger binoculars for a similar price, or at least not much more. In museums, compact and lightweight models with lower magnification and a close focusing distance of less than 2m are desirable.Celestron UpClose G2 10x25Not the highest spec compared with models on this list — you will get partially multi-coated lenses and BK-7 glass roof prisms. Still, they are well-priced and come with the reassurance of a limited lifetime guarantee.★★★★½ We like the Nikon Travelite binoculars a lot. They're a very good value. They don't claim to be perfect, but they're quite good at what a separate ring adjuster. It's a nice way of contributing to a small, compact design. The larger reason we like it for is because it has
