Nikon 7246 Action EX 12x50 CF Binocular,black

I have an old pair of Carl Zeiss binoculars and I thought they were pretty good but I decided to replace them. I opted for these binoculars and I am not disappointed. The optics are excellent, the view is so clear and bright you can see amazing detail (have been watching the garden birds) with the extra magnification. I was unsure if the greater magnification would cause more shake when viewing but it hasn't so very pleased. I also saw some reviews that mentioned the diopter adjustment button was very stiff but there is a button diagonally opposite each side of the eye piece and adjusting this is easy and very smooth. All in all it feels like a quality bit of kit. I'm very pleased with them. I've not used them for astronomy yet as the skies have not been favourable but I have high hopes. The only gripe was the delivery, the binoculars come in the flimsy box they are originally put in, no protection at all and everyone can see what the product is! The box was trashed when it got to me but fortunately there was no damage to the binoculars. Shame Amazon didn't put it in their usual cardboard box.

Bought these for hubby's Christmas pressie following recommendation from the Whale and Dolphin Watch as we live on an Island and often go out walking and looking for the many dolphins, Minke Whales and Basking Sharks spotted around our shores. They are good quality and sufficient zoom for purposes and for the price paid. Very happy with purchase

When choosing a pair of binoculars there is a compromise between magnification, weight and of course price. The Nikon Action EX 12x50 CF hits the sweet spot perfectly, by giving ample magnification without being too heavy or too expensive. These binoculars come in a rugged rubberized body and most importantly have the excellent optics that one would expect from Nikon. The focus of the right eyepiece is independently adjustable allowing for users to correct for when their left/right vision is different. All in all these are great binoculars, the clarity is amazing and the central focus wheel offers very accurate control. There are two minor negatives to point out: first, neither the lens caps nor the eyepiece cover at attached to the body (but can be clipped to the strap); second there is no strap for the bag.

Good quality optics, highly recommend. But Amazon really need to step up on protective packaging. Sending the binoculars in just the Nikon box is just suitable. Should have been in a box with protective packaging. It's amazing it wasn't damaged. But the binoculars are awesome.

I have bought a number of less expensive binoculars previously and I guess that the old saying of getting what you pay for holds true. These were maybe 2 to 3 times the cost of a cheap set but you can see the difference with much clearer, sharper images. I bought these from Warehouse Deals and the only issue was the neck strap was missing (but I am happy to recycle one from another set). Overall I am very happy with the purchase, the cost via Warehouse Deals and the Binoculars are exactly as described.

A well built quality binocular, the image is sharp,clear and bright, they are comfortable to hold and should fit most people,They could be a little heavy for some at nearly 900g but I find the weight helps keep them steady. I wear glasses and these are fine to use with glasses, providing a full field of view. I own a pair of much more expensive 8x42 Leicas and the view really is about the same, the Nikons actually have a wider field of view and slightly less coulor fringing and a more 3d view! Now my go to binoculars, for birding.People say the Nikon is an entry level binocular for birding, but I have looked through and own Leica,Zeiss,Opticron, Swarovski etc and it really is up there with the best of them.

As you can see from my title I am an aircraft enthusiast,mainly WW II types particualy Spitfires,Hurricanes and The Lancaster but also 1960's era .We have a holiday home in Chichester and during the Goodwood Revivel this year I was treated to 3 Spitfires and the Lancaster nearly took our roof off,what a fantastic SIGHT and SOUND.I could also watch other aircraft over Goodwood with these FANTASTIC! binoculars,the images are so clear with Nikon's superb optics and with 12 times magnification it is possible to see fine detail. I should just say Goodwood is about 2 miles away,about 10 seconds by jet.The binoculars are very comfortable to hold,not too heavy,not too light,and the ruberised surface allows a secure grip.I am very happy with my purchase,and can certainly recommend them.

I bought these for astronomy and are great quality for the price if a little on the heavy side.

Nachtrag zu meiner Rezension (habs erst jetzt bemerkt) Ganz schlecht: Die Bedienungsanleitung ist in einer blassen, hellblauen und sehr schlecht lesbaren Schrift geschrieben, die ich trotz Brille fast nicht lesen kann. Außerdem sind dort immer mehrere Fernglastypen abgebildet und kein Fernglas ist wirklich gut erklärt. Dafür gibts einen halben Punkt Abzug, somit 4,5 Sterne, gerundet *****. Hier verstehe ich Nikon wirklich nicht. Zur Bewertung des Fernglases Nikon hat es hinbekommen, ein erstklassiges Fernglas ohne unnötigen "Schnick-Schnack" in einer Qualität zu bauen, für die die etablierten Hersteller viele hundert EUR mehr verlangen (ohne ein MEHR an Nutzen). Ich brauche auch kein Fernglas, das wasserdicht ist, weil ich mit diesem Fernglas nicht tauchen werde. Und ich brauche auch keine innenliegenden Okularverstellungen, weil die von Nikon gewählte Lösung genauso gut funktioniert. Die Dachkant-Konstruktion (z. B. beim Zeiss) ist dazu um ein Vielfaches teurer ist wie die Porro-Konstruktion des Nikon (und sie bietet dazu keinerlei Vorteile). Diese Punkte alleine ergeben in der Summe schon einige 100 EUR (ganz zu schweigen vom Namen, den man ja bekanntlich auch bezahlt), ohne dass ich dafür eine höhere optische Qualität erhalten würde. AUF DEN PUNKT GEBRACHT Erstklassige optische Qualität, scharfes und helles Bild fast bis zum Rand. Außergewöhnlich großes Gesichtsfeld bei dieser Vergrößerung, das ist sehr angenehm. Sehr komfortables Einblickverhalten durch große Linsen und verstellbare Augenmuscheln. Scharfeinstellung: genau die richtige Balance (nicht zu leicht, nicht zu schwer). Praktische Einstellung des Dioptrinausgleichs. Sehr sympathisches "Anfassgefühl". Handlich, mit der nötigen Schwere für ein ruhiges Bild. Das Glas liegt sehr gut ausbalanciert in der Hand. Sehr gute Ergonomie. Wertiger Qualitätseindruck. In der Summe kann es für dieses tolle Fernglas (eigentlich) nur ***** geben (siehe Nachtrag ganz oben). Vergleich zum Olympus 12 x 50 DPSI - Stand 18.08.2018 Das Olympus ist in etwa in der gleichen Preisklasse angesiedelt. Deshalb ist ein Vergleich fair. Ich habe beide Gläser ausführlich "getestet", bei verschiedenen Lichtverhältnissen, Motiven und Entfernungen. FAZIT Das Olympus hat ein spürbar kleineres Gesichtsfeld. Es ist - subjektiv betrachtet - in der Ergonomie einen kleinen Tick schlechter als das Nikon. In der Schärfe schenken sich beide nichts, auch das Einblickverhalten ist bei beiden wegen der jeweils großen Linsen sehr komfortabel. Die Scharfeinstellung ist bei beiden Gläsern gleichwertig. Das Gleiche gilt für die Einstellung der Dioptrin. In der Summe ist das Nikon eine Idee besser und hat bei mir (rein subjektiv) "die Nase vorn" (um eine halbe Nasenlänge ... :-)).

Ürün çok güzel ama, Amazon depodan aldığım için olsa gerek, dürbün kapağı arızalı olduğu için iade etmek zorunda kaldım.

I had two pairs of bins that grew legs (grrr) so I needed to replace them. Based on specs I had a hard time deciding what to get -- I wear glasses and use mine for sporting events, light bird watching, hikes, and keeping an eye on my livestock. I ordered this and the Bushnell Legend L 8x42. Although they are really so comparable the decision was tough, I will be keeping the Bushnells. These bins supposedly had better glass (dielectric high-reflective Multilayer Prism coating which is only available on the Bushnell M version) but the images were nearly identical. Quite often I felt the bushnells were sharper. Both did well in high direct sun, indirect light, dusk and at night for moon looking. Both have weather and fog protection. This has better eye relief but the Bushnells were adequate. In the end the decision came down to the little details. These are heavier and take up more space. The Bushnells have a locking dioptic adjuster (it is a bit hard to operate but it's there). They also were easier/faster to bring into focus. Lastly the protective caps on the Bushnells are just better -- the wide ends are attached to the bins and the narrow ones are loose but easy to remove yet stay while in your case. The Nikons were all loose, popped off when I pulled my bins from the case or refused to come off based on humidity, and the eye piece covers were very hard to get on and off. It was a decision that literally took me weeks but in the end it was the little details that made the difference. To be honest, if I had the funds I would have kept them both.

el producto es de calidad y facil de utilizar, adicionalmente la empresa Japonesa que lo vende da un seguimiento constante sobre la entrega poniendo especial enfasis en el paso de aduana en la importacion. Muy satisfecho

El producto es justo lo que esperas, buena calidad, el desempeño es más de lo que esperaba, el Empaque llego un poco maltratado pero el producto no tenía ningún problema, los recomiendo para un trípode, aunque si ya estás acostumbrado al uso de binoculares no será GSB necesario
