These Nikon 12x50 Action Binoculars have multiple layers of antireflective coating and traditional Porro-style prisms to provide clear, high contrast views. Porro prisms aren't just nostalgia—many optics users find they offer a better sense of "3D" depth perception than the slimmer and more common roof prisms. The light-gathering ability of the large 50mm objective lenses helps to ensure bright and clear views, even in challenging situations like at dawn or dusk, or when peering into dense underbrush. Turn-and-slide eyecups and a comfortable eye relief enable easy viewing without eye fatigue, especially during long observation sessions.
Optical Performance
- Traditional Porro prism light path produces a rich depth of field, allowing the user to discern the relative distances between objects in the view
- Anti-reflection multicoated optics produce neutral and accurate color fidelity and improve contrast and image brightness
- 60.8° apparent angle of view reduces the appearance of visible hand shake, which is especially common with higher-power optics
Use and Handling
- Large slip-resistant center focus wheel is easy to manipulate, even while wearing gloves
- Right-eye dioptric correction compensates for individual user's optical prescription for clearer and sharper views
- Turn-and-slide eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear
- Durable but lightweight aluminum housing
- Rubber-armored for secure comfortable grip
