Pros
  • occassional razor sharp clarity, nice heavy duty armor, great FOV, very true image and color quality.
Cons
  • chromatic abberration is apparent, focusing is very fast and sensitive. a frustraing view was never right.
razor sharp, nice heavy duty armor, great FOV, very true image and color quality. bright for their size. close focus is good- actually less than 7 feet eventhough nikon states it\\\'s 8.5 feet.

chromatic abberration is apparent while bird flying in an ovecast sky. focusing is very fast and sensitive, it is taking time to get use to it. i dont like slow focus. i like fast focus- pentax focus. focusing at 20 feet is really weird and because of sensitive focus. i have to give it a 3. after a week of full time birding with these bins i never got use to them an returned them. focus is weird and others on the forum felt the same. a few people mentioned similar problems others mentioned how wonderful they are. I would not recommend these bins because of the inconsistency in product manufacturing. nikon has turned me off to their products.
