7x35

I own a number of binoculars, from small to large (e.g. Fujinon 10x70's and 16x70's). I wanted a lightweight, wide-angle, rugged pair to replace an old pair of another popular brand that developed some issues over the years. These Aculons are superb, especially for the price. A friend of mine has a $1000 pair of Zeiss field glasses. We sat and compared, back and forth. He wasn't terribly pleased. His $1000 investment yields images that are no better than the Aculons, and the Aculons have a wider field of view! I use binocs for sightseeing and stargazing. (Not much of a "birder.") These little gems are wonderful, and I did observe a mountain jay from about 50 feet away. Beautiful colors and details. Razor-sharp, and easy to find quickly in the wide field-of-view. The image is crisp and sharp right to the edge. The apparent field of view (what it "looks like" when you peer into them) is excellent. The eye-relief is very comfortable. They come to sharp focus very easily and the mechanism feels very smooth and solid. The image colors and contrast are excellent. Grade-A optics, which I suppose one should expect from Nikon. In this case, the mechanical aspects rival the optics in quality. My wife used them for a concert and said they were "a little heavy after a while." Well... yes. They aren't "concert" glasses. They are very solid and well-constructed and designed for outdoor use. But she still used them for much of the concert, and she could just about study the cellist's earring from a hundred feet away and spot a loose piece of horsehair on one of the violinist's bows. The image detail is superb. Great product. Highly recommended.

Great binos especially for the cost. I prefer these to my old nikon Aculon 10x50. Much brighter and wider field of view. Easier to use due to lighter weight. I could have bought Nikon Monarchs if I wanted to but after watching many comparisons of porro vs roof prisms, I honestly just do not think the 3x more expensive Monarchs are worth it for the little improvement or slight better clarity (me at least). If you want the very best, by all means buy the Prostaff or Monarchs. Those would be better for outdoor and long distance hikes as they are lighter which is probably the biggest advantage. I'm very satisfied with these 7x35 Aculons.

Very well made and very sharp lenses on this Nikon Binocular. Sharp images really help reduce eye fatigue while bird watching or following a football game. There are cheaper Binocs but very few as enjoyable 😀.

Excellent bino's. I use them during the day and at night. The 7x35 allows plenty of light to come in. I can see objects and people clearly during daylight, low light and darkness. I have used them in an urban environment, in the woods and inside a vehicle with great results. The size works well, when I wrap my hands around them you cannot tell I'm holding them, they are very discreet. The case is excellent. I've carried them in a mountain bike bag, car and back pack. The case is flexible and the bino's themselves are durable, no scratches, dings or dents. The price is good, I bought a cheaper pair and they broke immediately. Amazon took them back no problem and I bought these. I recommend them for LEO, Military and hunting.

Great ergonomics, well built binoculars with Nikon glass at a great price point. I have other binocs, and these leave me with a headache and eye pain in the right side. They have little to no eye relief for a glasses-wearer like me, and I think that’s the reason they won’t work for me. Otherwise a bright view, very sharp center with the 3d effect I miss in my roof prism binocs. Oh well

The 9.3 degree wide field of view is great for finding stars in constellations. Great for spotting stuff to view in my telescope later. The optics are great quality with no internal reflections. BAK-4 prisms improve brightness too. I considered the Aculon 8x42 binoculars, but their field of view is 8 degrees vs 9.3 in the 7x35s. 8 degrees is still pretty good though. I also considered the Aculon 7x50s, but their field of view is only 6.4 degrees. For me, anything less than 7 degrees is WAY too narrow! Hey Nikon, isn't 7.1 degrees supposed to be the "Standard" for 7x50 binoculars? Some people think 7x35 binoculars are not good enough for astronomy. These have a 5mm exit pupil vs 7mm in the 7x50 binoculars. The 7mm exit pupil would let more light into your eyes at night. People over 40 might not notice the difference, because your pupil size shrinks as you get older. These work just fine at night for me. These are also lighter and less bulky than the 7x50s. The 8x42s would also be a good choice for astronomy, but the 7x35s fit my needs better and they were $10 cheaper. These binoculars are very easy to hold steady. I tried different 10x50s, 12x50s and 16x50s, but higher magnifications are difficult to hold steady without shaking. 7x to 8x is just about right for handheld viewing without shaking. The lenses are made from Eco Glass, which doesn't contain any lead. This helps reduce the weight too. These are rubber armored to absorb minor shocks. They are not shockproof or waterproof like the Nikon Action Extreme ATB binoculars, which cost more. These have twist eyecups. I prefer the rubber fold up eyecups, but these seem to work just fine. The case and strap are nice, but the included lens caps fall off sometimes. I can live with that.

When buying binoculars, it's my experience that you will get more use if you limit weight and magnification. It's very easy to go too big, especially with object lens sizes, but other than for astronomical observation, this wont improve your utility much. And unless you've got a solid mount, heavy weight will quickly lead to tired arms and a shaky picture resulting in limited use. For general use, and light astronomical observation, 35mm is just about the best imo, and a Nikon optic can't be beat in terms of durability and quality of construction. This is one of the best binoculars I've found at this price point.

I needed a light-weight, wide-field set of binoculars. After I bought and returned a discount model (too many gripes to list), I stepped up to the Nikon and I'm glad. It has a nice feel in your hands and is easy to keep very steady. I feel the image is sharp across the whole field of view. The extending eyecaps are different. I think I like them (so far). The nearest focus on the binoculars is amazing: just 7-8'. Great for close nature viewing. If someone (kids, elderly, disabled) has trouble holding heavier 10x50's steady, this model should help a lot. Two things worth mentioning: 1) The front lens caps are the Nikon style -- inset into the lens and with the strap-grabbing cutouts. It's pretty easy to lose the front caps because they fall off the strap easily, so keep the caps in your pocket. 2) The diopter adjustment on the right eyepiece was very firm (stiff?). At first I thought it was broken because I saw no difference as I (thought I) rotated it. A tighter squeeze and firmer movement on the adjuster made things right. Neither of these aspects were enough to drop a star on the rating. The view is great and that's all that counts to me.

I bought several binoculars for the UA Army, mostly chinese made 10x50, but this is totally new level, nothing to compare, through it is not the top level of Nikon. The picture is bright and properly aligned. Optics transparency is also pretty good

One Of The Best 7x Binocular u will see... It has a great wide angle field of view and cleae cut sharpness...Right eye focus wheel is not that smooth but its Ok... Overall I Loved it... Superb Clearity, sturdness... Go for it... 👍👍

少し重さはありますが、調整が簡単でとても良く見えます。LIVEとかに使用しました
