Nikon Aculon A211 12 x 50 Binocular - Black

Really good and clear image, you can see details of flying planes, clear view of birds and see so many stars you can't see without. The moon also looks so big and clear. The only downside is that it's probably on the edge of max zoom possible for hands only use - it would be nice to have stabilization of some sort, but hey.. Oh yeah and the covers are very flimsy.

Best binoculars ever

These are fantastic binos, the images are clear exept the slight chromatic aberration with very high contrast objects. the only problem i had was a slight lump of rubber which just makes it look worse. the 12x50 are also reasonably easy to hold still and are sutable for birding, great value for money.

I wanted good binoculars, not too heavy with good magnification and in a case. I got all l wanted.

These are decent value for money very sharp in the central image, a nice smooth focus wheel a little bit slow but nothing I can't handle lol and nice and bright. Can't fault them for the money I payed would recommend 🙂

These are easy to use and comfortable to hold. There may be better optics in more expensive binoculars but these are very good. Not really tested in low light but the clarity in good light would suggest that the optics collect enough light. Only minus point is that the accompanying soft case does not have a shoulder strap but the binoculars do so the binoculars strap can be fed through the sides of the case.

I had a pair of the Nikon Aculon 12x50's at the same time as the 10x50's with the primary purpose of getting into astronomy and also for a bit of birding as and I am out in the countryside so could do some in depth side by side testing of the two slightly different magnifications. To be honest I wanted to like the 12's more - I thought the extra magnification would be useful but in the end it wasn't even close, the 10's won by a country mile. In daylight the 12's are ok but the image is a little soft and suffers from very noticeable chromatic aberration off centre (I will now refer to this as CA and it shows itself as a purple fringe or 'glow' around high contract edges - say a TV aerial against the sky or the edge of a star against the night sky). This is very off putting and detracts from the overall image quality (IQ). Things are much worse at night. I just could not get a sharp image with them, the CA was very off-putting and the smaller exit pupil compared to the 10's meant everything was on the dark side. Star clusters that were popping out on me with the 10's were sometimes barely discernible with the 12's and the narrower field of view meant less could be seen in any one view. To be fair as well for astronomical use the extra magnification on offer with the 12's is marginal anyway and given the limited light gathering of the 12's I would say they are somewhat behind the 10's Pluses? Build quality is as you would expect from Nikon and the supplied carry case and neck strap are very good. The lens coatings are effective at keeping down unwanted reflections (but not the CA unfortunately). To sum up if you need the (slightly) extra reach of a 12x lens and what a solidly built pair of binoculars for daytime use the Nikons are OK - nothing more, nothing less but I would suggest looking at alternatives also. For astronomy avoid these and look at the 10's - much much better or if you want extra reach look at something like the Celestron Skymaster 15x70's.

My partner was very pleased with the distance you can see and how clear the binoculars are. It will be perfect for his dad to use when plane spotting

Je cherchais depuis longtemps une bonne paire de jumelles pour effectuer mes observations lointaines (suivi des avions de ligne à +/- 38.000 pieds. La précision est excellente et les tremblements inhérents à ce type de monture sont raisonnables. On peut toujours utiliser un trépied via l'adaptateur (en option) mais on perd alors en rapidité de pointage de la cible. Le niveau de détail de l'image rendue et la luminosité sont excellents sans aberrations chromatiques dérangeantes. L'écartement des oculaires est toutefois difficile à ajuster en fonction de la morphologie des yeux et une fois bien réglé, mieux vaut ne plus y toucher. Bref, je recommande vivement à ceux qui cherchent la qualité au meilleur prix.

Lornetka wyglada jak by nie byla nowa lecz uzywana 😔 Kupilem 2 lornetki te same w roznych sklepach. Ta nie byla zapakowana w pudelko oryginalne. Na wizjerach widoczne zanieczuszczenia. Lornetke chcialem nową.

Despues de probar muchos prismáticos, me decidí por estos. Sus 12 aumentos permiten ver objetos más tenues y su colimación vertical está perfecta. Vale que su pupila de salida es de 4,17mm pero en mi cielo medianamente contaminado veo genial con ellos. Pero no nos engañemos, 12x es mucho aumento para usar sin trípode, aunque si es para observaciones cortas te puedes apañar. Los oculares llevan un sistema para que puedas poner el ojo más o menos cerca y evitar tocar la lente. El tacto rugoso me encanta aunque la suciedad se le pega mucho. Sufre algo de aberracion cromática pero no me molesta. No le noto aberración esferica. Si buscas 12x no vayas a cosas baratas y coge estos.

Excellent

the item condition, Quality and performance are too good.
