Nikon Prostaff 3S 10X42 Binoculars

Product Information

It can withstand the test of time no matter the conditions it has been exposed to, thanks to its shockproof rubber armor coating.

They deliver quality images in broad daylight, but will fall off in quality when used in low-light conditions. For added peace of mind the device can be submerged to depths of five metres and survive, thanks to O-ring seals and anti-corrosive varnishing to its metal parts.When considering whether 10x gives you too much bino shake or not, don't forget to try your bins in at least moderately windy conditions. The decent-sized 42mm objective lenses on offer here gather a lot of light, making these binoculars suitable for use in dim conditions as well as in regular daylight. As well as being compact enough for little hands, they’re relatively lightweight too, at a little under 500g, while offering a relatively wide field of view for curious eyes and minds.

Nature lovers seeking to bring skittish wildlife just that bit closer while saving ourselves a small fortune compared with alternatives from Zeiss and Leica are directed to this rock-solid Olympus branded binocular. Celestron designed this one with more structural reinforcement to the body of the binoculars and the exterior casing is water resistant. With their compact and lightweight profile, you can carry them conveniently and handle them excellently even in tough conditions. These activities can be expensive to get into, not to mention there is quite a steep learning curve involved. The 7x magnification will work well for Astro viewing as a compromise between the field of view and magnification, while a 50mm lens will provide plenty of light transmission for spotting fainter celestial objects.The forums are dedicated to wild birds, birding, binoculars and equipment and all that goes with it. Denoting a 10x magnification and a large-ish 42mm diameter lens, they’re a pretty standard choice for an every day or entry-level binocular and offer the chance to get just that little bit closer to our observed subject than the less high-powered, but equally popular 8x42 binoculars.
