Nikon Aculon A211 10x42 Binocular

U need to set the diaptor and focus before u get a clear and crispy image...Also a tripod is needed if u plan for star gazing...Overall a good binocular for beginners. Once u get acquainted u can upgrade to higher power and heavy binoculars if u are interested in star gazing. But for bird watching this is the best telescope

Ok

After trying out the binoculars for a couple of days feel happy about the purchase as it meets my expectations at this price level. My review is from a casual birder's point of view with above average experience with optics.To start with the grip contour is very ergonomic and fits a medium small hand well. The build is sturdy and the rubberised exterior good to feel and not sticky.The weight should be no concern and felt light enough to hold steady without much effort with one hand or three fingers if needed.The view was clear once you get the focus and power correction right. Though has a some what narrower field of view than a 7x or 8 x lens seems adequate to scan the skies or field . Magnification is sufficient to get intricate details at 50 -100 ft and to get sufficient details on a sparrow sized bird in shade at around 250 ft and identifiable features in a large bird at 500 ft..In flight birds needs a little more effort to focus but once you get it the focusing ring moves nicely and firmly as you attempt to keep the focus.There is some chromatic aberration with a yellow hue visible especially at the edges and when viewing a heavily backlit subject but not too obtrusive as to hamper the viewing. But i wouldnt suggest for anyone wishing to use it for astronomy. I wasnt expecting much better performance in this department as it had no ED glass.The light gathering is decent and usefulThere is some mild vignetting which is expected and the eye relief could be better.The eyepiece covers are not well fitting and objective covers not well designed .The manual advises to attach the lens covers to the strap which when done felt cumbersome. The accompanying bag has a belt 'strap' but no proper attachment for a normal strap though you can improvise one easily.Overall feeling was that it is good value for money.

Superb

Brings the unseeable view to life. Brings things invisible to naked eye to life. Beautiful patterns on bird feathers seen clearly. Saw storks, flamingos, seagulls, cranes, herons, pelicans in Muttukadu lake. Amazing experience with family and friends. Mesmerizing views. A real binocular that shows craters on the moon surface. Awesome clarity.

After 20 days of purchasing my binocular, mine has been invaded by ants and their eggs.I safely kept them inside the bag that was provided. There is no way to unscrew and remove them by ourselves.The binocular works as expected. Mine was a pest problem and I am leaving 3 stars because such an item cannot be repaired by any person in India; is what the service centre told me.This is very unfortunate for me. I was planning to take it on trips.

One of the best binoculars at this price point. On the heavier side, but with awesome clarity and precision. Easy focusing. Feels good to hold.

the binocular is defective. I am going outstation day after, hence don't need it in a later date. Please refund my money immediately. Feeling cheated by you.
