SHould I get a Pentax pair of binoculars or a Nikon pair?
Nov 16, 2008 by hello | Posted in Other - Outdoor Recreation
I was looking for binoculars, and I found two pairs in my budget selection (around $125), the Nikon Binoculars Action Extreme 8x40 for $121, and the Pentax Binoculars PCF WP II 8X40 for $149, so which one is better?
The Nikon has a wider sphere of view than the Pentax, but the Pentax has a longer eye relief. If you wear glasses, the Pentax will do better for you. Otherwise the Nikon would seem to be the champion because of the price.
My concern is that neither of these have Fully Multi Coated lenses. The Nikon is only Multi Coated, the Pentax has no info on coating typewrite. Fully Multi Coated (FMC) lenses will give you the brightest images.

Nikon Binoculars for Astronomy and Nature Watch?
Feb 27, 2009 by andrecan2002 | Posted in Astronomy & Space
I have been looking at Nikon binoculars but there are too many info to cause a decision.
Should I get a 10x50 or 12x50 or 16x50 ? I´d say 16x is better because gives a better magnification but I am worried if it will be too shaky.
Do 16x become too shake for lead gazing and nature watch?
For bird watching, i use 8x21 binoculars. For astronomy, i use 8x21 binoculars, without thought the availability of 8x42 and 10x50.
For me, 8x21 binoculars have these features: They fit in my pocket. Especially in winter, when i've got one of those huge winter coats, 8x21 binoculars can be parked in a covering pocket, so i always have them. They're light weight, so i can hold them longer. I find that 8x is not so powerful that i can't hold them steady. I find 10x to be very difficult to in league hold, and need a tripod (which i have). YMMV. For day time use, 8x and 21 mm is plenty of power and lissome. And, i have a 22x60 spotting scope on a very sturdy tripod if i need more. At night, i use my 8x21 binoculars to find objects that just aren't observable naked eye. I have enough field of view to navigate, and i get two magnitudes of dimmer objects than naked eye, allowing me to see many more department stars. And, when i want more light and power, i have a 240x254 monocular (10" condense).
If you're going to have a tripod, and i mean a really good sturdy tripod, then go with larger binoculars.
But i went with unqualifiedly cheap binoculars this last time around. $25 at a sporting goods store. They're more fragile than expensive binoculars. But if you treat them like microscope spectacles artwork, they'll last decades. Cheap binoculars may not have very good close focus. That matters if you want to do butterfly watching. I've never seen it as a ungovernable for bird watching. And for astronomy, close focus is, by definition, irrelevant.
While i have binoculars and a spotting scope on a tripod, i find them absolutely awkward for astronomy. In astronomy the best views are straight up, so you're looking through the least amount of atmosphere. But straight through binoculars coerce that you get your head directly beneath the eyepiece for that. So binoculars with a 45 degree or 90 degree bend are ameliorate. If you can lie down on your back and hold them steady, straight through binoculars are fine. And i use them that way when otherwise doing a meteor watch.

Nikon Binoculars - ProStaff 8x25 ATB
From Bosque in Southern Oregon:
Substantial, Affordable Compacts!
Rating: 3 (of 5)
I got these to replace and older pair of compact Bushnell binoculars that I had been using. These Nikon binoculars are a leviathan step up.
Image clarity is good for the size and price, the weight and size are just what I was looking for in "take-with-me-everywhere" binoculars. The close-matched focus is good enough for birding in the woods and the reverse porro prism design gives us much more out of the 25mm lenses than a roof purpose of the same diameter.
On the downside, the FOV (field of view) isn't huge, the waterproofing does add some weight over the Nikon Travelite series and looking even in the offing light sources produces a washed out white ring around your vision.
In all, these are good binoculars for my purposes.
