Great value binoculars (AFFILIATE LINKS): Nikon Prostaff P7: amzn.to/3Zx7b6p

Exceptionally useful info! I've been struggling with digging up tech specs and comparing nikon binoculars for a while. Probably having the same frustration you had when you decided to make this video. Thanks for helping out a like-minded fellow!

Good video, thanks

Effective aperture percentage also plays a part in exit pupil mm.

Nikon Action? Great underrated video. Sharing with friends.

Nikon binoculars offer great value for your money. One important factor not given in exact numbers is the light transmission. It needs expensive kinds of special glass and an equally good (and expensive) coating that prevents reflection but lets light through. These are factors that have been improved in the last decades, but are nearly impossible to improve further. Therefore your binocular can last a lifetime. Within a range of a manufacturer more expensive is really better. Buy the most expensive you can afford! Otherwise you certainly will want to buy a better one in a few years. You will see more and better with an expensive 8x42 than with a cheap 10x50.

Thank you kind man for your review.

Good video. I actually learnt quite a bit. Years ago, in the 35mm film era, I hankered after a pair of lowish power Binoculars for star gazing and for general use. As I had a Nikon FM and lenses, I wanted Nikon Binoculars too. Looking at the prices (UK) then, I reluctantly bought an East German Pair--7 by 50mm Carl Zeiss Jena at a discount back then. They are very good and solid and come in a leather case. I still wonder what the Nikon 8 by 42mm or 8 by 50 mm ones would have been like though. Thank You.

Thanks for watching! Nice - East German 7x50 CZJs, I imagine they were rugged and reliable. In general I notice binos go on sale very often - definitely makes sense to wait for a discount.

Shame they don't make higher end porro prism binos anymore.. They are still the best for astro

Super super super

Would you take a used Monarch M5 over a P7 (for roughly the same price)?

@lensvana

2 ай бұрын

For general use I'd take the M5 used in good condition. For birding / tracking small objects, I'd consider the P7 for the slightly wider FOV

@@lensvana Interesting. It would actually be the previous generation M5. So I guess current gen P7 stands its ground against prev gen M5.

So I wanted to get the 8x42 but after watching your video I got more confused . So which one is better P3, 7s, or P7 .

@lensvana

P7 > 7s > P3. I would skip P3 but realistically any of them will be just fine

Hi, would you be interested in testing a binocular?

Hi, I like binoculars :) But I'm not the best person to test them - there are channels dedicated to that, I mostly test out cameras and lenses
