With powerful magnification and large objectives, Nikon's black 12x50 Aculon A211 Binoculars are an ideal device for hunters, birders, and outdoor enthusiasts who require an optic that delivers the capability of making long-range observations in even the most challenging light conditions.The enhanced light-gathering ability offered by the 50mm objectives helps to ensure bright and clear views at dawn and dusk, or when peering into dense underbrush. Anti-reflection multicoated aspherical lenses, made with environmentally friendly Eco-Glass elements, complement the BAK4 Porro prism light path to deliver high-contrast images with enhanced depth of field without edge distortion, as well as accurate color fidelity. Despite their 12x powerful magnification, this version of the A211 has a wide angle of view that helps to offset the appearance of visible hand shake that is common with high-power optics such as these, while presenting the user with spacious views.The Aculon's sculpted rubber-armored housing is designed to fit naturally into the observer's hand and provide secure non-slip handling. They are offered here in a subdued black color. Twist-up rubber eyecups and comfortable eye relief enable easy viewing without eye fatigue, especially during long observation sessions. For those who might experience arm fatigue or visible hand shake from holding a high-power/large-objective optic, the binoculars can be tripod mounted using an optional adapter. The combination of image quality and user-friendly design makes the 12x50 Aculon A211s a natural option for long-range glassing in even the most challenging light.Optical PerformancePowerful 12x magnification allows for detailed observations of distant subjectsLarge 50mm objective lenses improve light-gathering ability for bright and clear images, even in challenging conditions such as at dawn and duskTraditional Porro prism light path produces a rich depth of field, allowing the user to discern the relative distances between objects being viewedHigh refractive index BAK4 prisms deliver a round exit pupil and a crisp and clear image with limited edge distortionAspherical eyepiece lenses correct spherical aberration to produce clear and crisp images, with reduced edge distortion and astigmatismAnti-reflection multicoated optics produce neutral and accurate color fidelity and improve contrast and image brightnessWide apparent angle of view reduces the appearance of visible hand shake that is common when holding high-power optics such as this272-foot field of view at 1000 yardsUse and HandlingLarge slip-resistant center focus wheel is easy to manipulate, even while wearing glovesRight-eye dioptric correction compensates for individual user's optical prescription for clearer and sharper views56-72mm interpupillary adjustment rangeTwist-up click-stop rubber eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewearTripod mountable with optional adapter for hands-free use with reduced vibration and arm fatigue11.5mm eye relief allows easy viewing without eye fatigue, especially during long observation sessions4.2mm exit pupil will cover most pupils as they open and dilate in low light for a full and complete view without vignettingConstruction DetailsEnvironmentally friendly Eco-Glass is made without lead or arsenicProtective rubber armoring provides a comfortable slip-resistant grip even in cold weatherErgonomically sculpted grips1-piece tethered ocular rainguard protects eyecupsObjective lens caps can be clipped to neck strap to avoid losing them during observation sessionsWeight: 32 ounces
