Description

Brighten your view with PROSTAFF P3 8x42 binoculars. Full-size 42 mm front objective lenses gather maximum light—28.1 relative brightness—for a brighter, clearer view, even as daylight is fading. 8X magnification is ideal for birding, hiking, boating, sports, stargazing and more, and a wide field of view (377 ft at 1,000 yds) shows you more of the scene for locating wildlife or using the binoculars on the go. The lenses are made from eco-friendly glass and have Nikon’s multilayer coatings, which cut glare and improve contrast for spectacular HD views. The mirror surfaces of the roof prism have a reflective silver-alloy coating that delivers more of the visible light spectrum to your eyes. The binoculars are waterproof down to 3.3 ft (not intended for underwater use) and fogproof. A durable slip-resistant rubber armor provides drop protection and feels great in your hands. Adjustable eye cups with 20.2 mm of extra-long eye relief let you dial in a clear, comfortable view with or without eyeglasses. The evolution of Nikon's award-winning PROSTAFF 3S line of binoculars, PROSTAFF P3 8x42 binoculars deliver performance far beyond their price.

    • Clear, Crisp, and Built to Last – A Perfect Companion for Any Outdoor Adventure!
Style: PROSTAFF P3 8x42
I picked up the Nikon ProStaff binoculars for an upcoming hiking and bird-watching trip, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. These binoculars have far exceeded my expectations in terms of both performance and durability. If you're looking for a set that can keep up with any outdoor activity, this is it. The image quality is phenomenal – crystal clear and sharp, with vibrant colors that make every detail pop. Even in low light, the ProStaff performs remarkably well. I’ve used these at dawn and dusk, and the brightness is impressive. The field of view is wide, making it easy to spot moving animals or scan large landscapes. These binoculars are incredibly comfortable to use. They’re lightweight, which is a huge plus for long hikes or carrying them around the neck for extended periods. The grip is solid and secure, even when wearing gloves. Adjusting the focus is smooth and easy, which has been great for quick focus changes when spotting birds or distant mountain features. Nikon clearly made these with rugged use in mind. They’ve been through rain, dust, and a couple of accidental drops, and they still look and function like new. They’re water- and fog-proof, which has been a lifesaver on damp, misty mornings. This set feels like it’s built to last for years. For the price, these binoculars are unbeatable. They offer professional-grade quality at a reasonable price point, which is perfect for hobbyists and serious enthusiasts alike. I’ve owned more expensive binoculars that didn’t match the clarity and durability of the ProStaff. If you’re looking for a high-quality pair of binoculars that are versatile, easy to carry, and built for serious outdoor use, the Nikon ProStaff is a fantastic choice. Whether it’s for birdwatching, hiking, or just getting a closer look at landscapes, these binoculars won’t let you down. Highly recommend – they’re the best outdoor companion I could have asked for! ... show more

    • Beautiful binoculars
Style: PROSTAFF P3 8x42
Beautiful binoculars, a pleasure to use daily. We use them to bird watch, as well as night sky star gazing. A real treat. 8x42 is the sweet spot for general use binoculars. 8x is enough power to see detail but still be able to hand-hold. 42 is a big enough lens to gather plenty of light for day or night viewing. 10x is too hard to hold by hand (realistically the upper limit for hand-held), as the image jumps around too much. 50mm diameter lens is also the upper end of hand-held, as it is heavier and bulkier to hold without a tripod. The P3 line is a perfect balance of good lens coating at a value price. The higher end models have better lens coating technology, but for the extra $$$ you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference. The only other option to consider paying more money for is waterproofing. Only get waterproof if you really need it (using on a boat is the obvious situation). But for birdwatching outdoors on a clear day, the P3 is a great model. We literally use them every single day. Our living room looks out on a big field with a lot of nature activity. We keep these binoculars on the window sill, ready at a moments notice to watch the show. Nikon is known for optical quality, and these don't disappoint. Easy to focus, stays in focus, well made, sturdy. Just quality all around. ... show more

    • FANTASTIC!!!
Style: PROSTAFF P3 10x42
These Nikon PROSTAFF P3 10x42 Binoculars are absolutely fantastic! Super-Clear lenses, excellent magnification and great field of view for a lightweight compact pair of binocs! These are perfect for hunting or outdoor hiking activities as they are very light and when you're out in the woods, every ounce counts. I love Nikon products, and these binocs definitely live up to the Nikon name. 10 times better than Bushnell. Lens caps are cheap - but so are all factory lens caps on all binocs. Has a nice sturdy case and a makes a perfect addition for any outdoorsman or adventurer. I'd give these 10-Stars if I could. Highly Recommend! ... show more

    • I like these for birdwatching, but they are somewhat hard to get focused
Style: PROSTAFF P3 8x42
There are three settings on the eye pieces. Even so, whenever I look through them, I basically see a circular vignette. If I take them off my eyes, and sort of rest them on my eyebrows, I can see through them fine. However, they are very clear, and I can watch the birds in my backyard forest well. They don't produce a shaky image either. They are pretty stable to look through. ... show more

    • In some ways better than far more expensive binoculars
Style: PROSTAFF P3 8x42
These are the best birding binoculars I’ve ever used. I go with a tour group at Prospect Park and the leader has a pair that cost over a thousand dollars that he let us try. The image quality on this is mostly comparable once you’re on the bird and the binoculars are fully up to your eyes. The advantage of the very expensive ones over these is that you can kind of see through them to line up on the bird before you fully bring them up. To me that’s a skill you get after two or three hours of birding if you don’t have that crutch anyway. The advantage of these over the expensive ones is the image of a bird in shadows is brighter with these. The tour leader thinks it’s a trade-off to get that ability to see through them at a slight distance, and to me the better view of the colors of the plumage would make these superior even at the same price point, once you put in the time and get the skill. The case that comes with these is nice. It’s compact and it protects the binoculars quite well. The strap is comfortable to wear and I generally don’t like hanging things from my neck. This one has a nice strap. ... show more

    • Clear, sharp, bright image.
Style: PROSTAFF P3 8x42
Binoculars for birding (or whatever your passion) at a very good price. Solid construction, feel good in the hand with long eye relief for we glasses users. Easily adjustable diopter on one eye piece to ensure the image is clear and sharp. I have two other binoculars one in my workshop, one in the living room. This Nikon PROSTAFF 3 will go into my field bag to help with bird identification and spotting for photography. Less than $100, hard to beat. Negative comment......FedEx shipping envelope alone was not a good choice, yes it is a cheaper shipping option but give thanks the binoculars are well made. The box was a wee bit crushed. ... show more
