Exceptional clarity for your adventures
Nikon Prostaff 10x42 Binoculars from the renowned Nikon brand are designed for nature enthusiasts, whether birdwatchers or hikers. Tested during a week in the forest, we were impressed by their sharpness and comfort. An ideal companion for exploring the world in detail!
Unpacking and first impressions
On opening, we discover the binoculars, a sturdy case, a padded strap and a cleaning cloth. Their matte black design is elegant, and with a weight of 575 g, they feel solid without being bulky. The grip is natural, thanks to a rubberized coating that's pleasant to the touch.
Optical quality
With 10x magnification and a 42 mm objective lens, Nikon Prostaff 10x42 Binoculars deliver a bright, sharp image, even at the end of the day. In our test, spotting a deer 150 m away in a clearing was child's play, with vivid colors and striking contrast.
User comfort
Adjustable eyepieces and generous eye relief (15.2 mm) make viewing comfortable, even for spectacle wearers. After two hours of use, there's no discomfort to report - a real pleasure for long sessions in nature.
Sturdiness and practicality
Waterproof and fogproof thanks to nitrogen filling, these binoculars withstand showers and temperature changes. The supplied case and adjustable strap make them easy to carry, perfect for adventurers.
