  • Great Binos
Size: A211 8X42
I purchased these for my mother who is an avid hunter and has been for several years now. The Aculon model is an economically priced model that delivers. These binoculars are very clear and focus tremendously well. I chose the 8x42 set so that they wouldn't be very bulky, and are comfortable to either tote in a pack or wear around the neck while stalking. These are perfectly sized for our type of hunting, which is deer and turkey in mostly forested Alabama. With highline right of ways and very broad gas line right of ways running through our property, these do remarkably well even at only 8 power, viewing game and other wildlife at distances of several hundred yards. 42mm is also a sufficient viewing window, and the eyepieces fit comfortably on your eye sockets(which is a biggie for me, as my focus point is very close and most of the time the eyepiece is against my eye socket). I've hunted for over 20 years and have been through trial and error with optics, but Nikon has yet to disappoint me. I strive for a descent priced set of binoculars but I will not settle for losing clarity, comfort, or quality, and this pair fit my bill perfectly. I would recommend this pair of binoculars to any hunter or outdoorsperson who is looking for a set that is for moderate range (they're not going to pull a buck in for a 20x-zoom close up from 1000 yards to let you count kickers) easy to carry, clear, easy to focus, comfortable, and economically priced. ... show more

  • Great bang for the buck!!!
Size: A211 8X42
Love these binoculars! I have a pair or old Fuji marine binoculars that are highly regarded from a optical and build standpoint, but i recently became interested in watching all the wildlife in our yard and using them for that wasn't very enjoyable because each eyepiece has to be focused separately which isn't very practical for that purpose. I didn't want to invest a lot of money and so I purchased these based on the positive reviews I read as they seemed to have lots of bang for the buck. I'm happy to report that these don't disappoint!! The image through these is colorful, contrasty and very sharp... best of all, they're very easy to focus quickly as creatures move around the yard which makes them vey enjoyable to use. Also they allow you to focus on things that are fairly close to you which is nice as well as the more I sit in my yard, the less shy the birds become and sometimes they're quite close! Build quality seems very nice, definitely not built like a tank, but for normal use I think you'd be hard pressed to break them. Buy them, you won't regret it!! ... show more

  • The images are sharp and clear
Size: A211 8X42
The lenses are superior. However, the right eye adjustment knob is very stiff and I wonder if this is a design defect. Overall they are the best binoculars I've had for birdwatching. In fact, the lighting and clarity is so good that I can practically count the "eyelashes" on the squirrels that visit the feeder. ... show more

  • Nice Optics For The Money!
Size: A211 8X42
These binoculars were a gift to accompany an astronomical telescope, given as a graduation present. Astronomical applications are a bit more demanding on optics than terrestrial applications typically are, and these binoculars delivered decent star images for their respective cost. NOTE: The "diopter" on the binos I received was a bear to turn and adjust until it got worked around a few dozen times, and if you've got large hands as I do, the screw-out eye cups will get in the way of your twisting the diopter (someone with smaller fingers would not be bothered by this). But once the diopter gets worn in, all is well. I find that many people never learn to use a binocular correctly, as they don't adjust the diopter to suit their individual eye strengths. Most of us, by the time we're adults, have slightly different eye strengths between our left and right eyes, and if you don't adjust your binos to accommodate this, they will never function optimally for you and you'll never be getting you money's worth out of them. Binoculars are ostensibly two small refracting telescopes joined together to yield a binocular (a/k/a stereo) view. To adjust a binocular for your eyes, do the following: 1) Pick a distant, bright target. I like to use a bright star or planet. But it can be anything--a STOP sign, say. 2) Cover the objective lens (at the front) on the side of the binocular that does not have a diopter adjustment for the eyepiece. Now, look at your target and focus it as sharply as you can, using the center focusing adjustment, viewing through that side of the binocular only. Is the image as sharp as you can get it? 3) Now, cover the objective lens you just looked through in Step 2, and look at your target again through the other side. This time, adjust the focus using only the diopter wheel on the eyepiece you are looking through (do not touch the center focuser). Rotate the diopter left or right until your target is as sharp as it is going to get. When the image is sharp--you're done! 4) Uncover both objective lenses and have at it--the binocular has been adjusted for your eyes! From here out, just use the center focuser on anything you want to look at! If you didn't know this, and haven't done this, most of you will be surprised at how much improvement you'll see immediately. And unless somebody readjusts the diopter, you should be set for any viewing you want to do. Since I share my binos with my wife, I usually reset the diopter before any viewing session, as it takes just seconds to do so. RayB ... show more

  • Super Crisp,Super Clear and Super Bright
Size: A211 8X42
My brother owns these and the first time I tried them I just knew I had to get a pair. I wear glasses and I can't believe how good they work with them. The view is crystal clear and you can focus fast when you need to. Very awesome, go get yourself a pair, you won't regret it. Highly recommend 👌.

  • Quality Binocs. with great price!
Size: A211 8X42
Have used a friend's binocs and that is why we ordered them. They seem to stay in focus when passed to another person and also it seems that they don't have to be refocused a lot when another person uses them! And really like that they are great for closeup viewing. We really think you get a lot of quality for a good price and definitely recommend them! ... show more
