Product Information

the way I have with some recent Zeiss. I prefer the styling of the Ultravids, with their classy double-focuser and exposed really deteriorating near the field stop. Much of this off-axis unsharpness is just field curvature, but there is some astigmatism The flat field is preferable for astronomical use. However, for daytime use preferences vary - with some individuals having strong views either way - and most finding either acceptable though different Overall build quality is excellent. This extends to the solid but comfortable twist eye cups. With eye relief of 15mm, they may not suit all spectacle wearers, so best try a set if in doubt. The focus wheel is a little stiffer than some, but not an issue. Close focus is very good for a set with 12x power. Therefore, these popular components and optical parts are added to 10x42 binoculars upon manufacturing which will bring the cost down meanwhile the 10x50 and 12x50 binoculars will use more specialized parts that are cost a lot more. HOW MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE?

According to the oberwerk comparison chart, the 12x60 are operating at 90% of their objective size- so 54 mm one for a year or so, and I really like it. My experience is wide ranging, and this one should be one to try before Image-wise they consistently impress, with one caveat. Extra power means less light transmission, but I found images to be bright enough both during the day and also in low light conditions. There's plenty of depth of field, with images crisp, colourful and contrasty. There is a slight drop off of detail towards the edge of the field of view, though it's only something we noticed when stargazing, during which the Nikon Action EX 12x50's brightness and clarity impressed within an immersive night sky. Nikon Action EX 12x50 binoculars review: alternatives to consider More light means more information and thus, a brighter and better quality image would be produced through 10x50 and 12x50 binoculars than 10x42 binoculars. B) the Leica has superior control of stray light and veiling glare (an Ultravid family characteristic)But the theoretical difference between the 10x50 and 12x50 is small, and may be overwhelmed, in practice, by the particulars of the individual binoculars, like eye relief, field width and edge quality, things like that, you know. I'd rather have a good any size bino than a bad any other size bino. Trekking between mountain huts is a sensational experience, and we’re going to let you into a secret: it’s best to do it outside of summer Yes, the Nikon Action EX 12x50 are heavy, but the extra power they offer (and for very little extra outlay) alongside their rugged design and clean crisp and colorful images make them a great option if long-distance observing is your objective.

But I can't see any of the Messier objects with it (I did see M31 at one time with 8x40 but I was in a different location.) If oberwerk chart informs that is 90% of objective area, the count should be square root of (60 * 60 * 0,,9) = 56,9, but if them say is 90% of their objective size, the count should be 60 * 0,9 = 54. I am talking about maths. The Nikon Action EX 12x50 are porro prism binoculars, which once dominated the market yet now form the basic design of the minority of binoculars. That's mainly down to portability. After all, the Nikon Action EX 12x50 has two tubes set far apart, with a Z-shape to the light entering their objective lenses. On the Nikon Action EX 12x50 that means a relatively wide design that can't be folded into a compact shape, as roof prism rivals can, and a total weight of 36.8 oz/1kg. For context, a similarly priced pair of roof prism binoculars shave at least a third off that. So why has Nikon chosen porro prism for these binoculars? Brightness. Porro prism binoculars generally need fewer fancy lens coatings to achieve a bright, detailed image, which is why the Nikon Action EX 12x50s are so cost-effective. However, your pupils begin to expand in low light conditions. For some people, it can even reach a 7mm diameter. Therefore, you may require larger lenses, such as 10x50 and 12x50, for an optimal and enhanced view. PRICE DIFFERENCES The extra glass needed to make the lenses and the extra material used for a slightly larger body results in 10x50 and 12x50 binoculars being heavier than a 10x42 model using the same level of materials.The 12x magnification alone means inherent unsteadiness compared with 10x rivals. What's more, at 36.8 oz/1kg, it's necessary to employ a few tried and tested techniques to keep their clean, crisp and bright views still enough to properly appreciate, not least of all the possibility of mounting them on a tripod. However, the Nikon Action EX 12x50 remains a heavyweight in all regards, with excellent outdoorsy build quality and reliable optics that make them highly recommended. If the Nikon Action EX 12x50 binoculars aren't for you: The trade-off here is a slightly narrower field of view (of about 4.8°), which makes them slightly less than ideal for using at night to search star-fields and constellations in the night sky. However, in practice the Celestron Nature DX ED 12x50 performs really well at night, with the Andromeda galaxy looking sharp and well defined. Ditto the crescent Moon, which looked clean with no sign of purplish fringing – thanks to that ED glass. Moreover, 10x50 and 12x50 binoculars also tend to be a little longer than their 10x42 (42mm) counterparts. However, this difference is fairly minimal (usually under 10mm).

John has provided very in depth information, I have both 12X50s and I do not have trouble switching from one to another. Regarding your last question, only you can obtain the answer. I would try the Leica ( it is substantially less in cost), and make sure there is a good return policy, your viewing with them is the only way to get the answers you seek. If they do not work out, look for a slightly used 12X50 EL. EL 12x50 binoculars provide even more details thanks to their 12x magnification. Their ideal weight balance means that they fit perfectly in your hand – brilliant for lengthy periods of observation over long distances.The Leica has little to none and the Swarovski a small amount. If there’s one thing I’d like improved on the Swarovski it would be this Your opening post said you wanted "to get more". I'm curious what you hope to achieve with a 12x50? What "more" are you aiming to get? They are definitely easier to handhold standing up then my Oberwerk 12x54 binoculars and they have a wider true FOV then them (5.2° vs 4.9°). They have a pretty sharp edge with virtually no vignetting. Stars are sharp in the central 65-70% of the field, thus yielding about 3.5° of flat field on center. Eye-relief was fine. I looked the way the aperture covers could still be attached to the binoculars and just popped down.
