 Not a bad bet August 30, 2010
Hemant Kulkarni
The camera body is very good. The lense looks properly aligned as well. However, I noticed anistropic chromatic aberrations prominent esp at the edges. Thus unless your subject is right in middle of your view, you might see aberrations on sharp edges. However the product is very good and for a amateur its recommended.
 Chromatic aberration up the wazoo July 9, 2010

Simple. It was an open-and-shut case. I got it out, tried it for a few seconds. Its chromatic aberration made my head spin. I shoved it back immediately and sent it back.
By the way, there are too many pockets that may retain water. I wouldn't call this water-resistant, let alone waterproof.
This thing sure made it easy for me to decide.
I ordered a 10 x 20 Zeiss Conquest. Obviously, the two belong to two different categories, but the image quality of the Zeiss makes this Nikon's lack of image quality look like a 25ยข toy from the vending machine.

I have been in the military for several years now and have come to use many binos/optics in my line of work. Leupold and Steiner being the majority of all military enhanced optic makers. Most professional military binos are 8x42mm. However, it isn't always enough, I decided to spend the frugal money on these Nikon's ATB's and have been throughly pleased.
The Image quality alone shows Nikon's tried and true dedication to superior lens quality.
The Nikon's large objective lens allows for superbly bright images in dark or shady conditions. Using these binoculars at night, they produce as much light into the eye as the $500.00 set of Steiners and Leupold's. In fact, several of my co-workers also agree, for the money these may be the best optic to choose from.
During day time use, or night for that matter. the lens focus a tight picture. From 5m in front of you to infinity the fine adjustment knob will focus in on what you need. The eye relief adjustment knobs are an excellent feature. Many Binoculars do not have this feature (It physically separates your eye from the diopter lens) ensuring proper eye relief at all times. This, when using your Binos for extended time will reduce eye and forehead fatigue.
Construction:I have used these in several climate zones, hot and arid, hot and wet, extremely cold and temperate cool hunting conditions..They have been banged up, skuffed up and dropped and they still preform like a champ. They feel rock solid and build like a block of steel when you hold them.
Many say lighter is better, but I would submit to you, solid is better and you.
These will be going with me onto deployment soon....Ill be leaving my steiners in the armory.
 Looks good. Feels good. Is great. April 1, 2010

I like the way these binoculars feel in my hand. Even better, I like what I see when I look through the lenses. Have to remember to adjust the eye pieces but after that it's pretty smooth sailing. Only got them a week or so ago but took them out bird watching recently and it was a delight. Liked that I could use them with sunglasses and without. Images were all sharp and clear. And it was easy to focus and follow birds as they flew across the sky. Last night I brought them to the Hollywood Bowl to see Paul McCartney and I'm glad I did. In the past I brought smaller binoculars to concerts but those 50mm lenses captured more light and greater detail and they didn't feel too heavy in my hands. Have gazed at the moon and stars a few times as well and marveled at all the things I'd never been able to see before from my backyard.

Received these Binoculars last month. Although I haven't use them much. I found that they have a plastic toy feel and look. Although, when actually handled, the binos seem to be solid with good, not extraordinary, glass. The accompanying case and strap also seem cheap and poorly constructed.
They are fairly heavy and long. I found them to expensive for the quality.
