Most Helpful Positive Review New model: Nikon Aculon 10 x 42 A211
Well, this is a first impression. Just tried breifly before heading to Magee Marsh/Lake Erie. I returned two models to other sites; both similar yet one was around $45 more. Very good optics but just not my preference/"feel". I like the dial in the middle, not that flat mechanism you tilt. Pentax ...

Most Helpful Negative Review Nikon Aculon Binocular
I am an avid birder and was looking to add another binocular to my collection. While I found no fault with the product itself, when I got them home and used them in the back yard, I found that they just didn't fit my face well. When I adjusted the eyepiece width to eliminate distortion between the...

Diopter will not move

by bob, from IL, United States Written on February 13, 2022
I just received a Nikon A211 8x42 and had high expectations. I am very disappointed. The diopter will not move for any adjustment and I am afraid to force it. What to do? Such a hassel to return but unsure if it is entirely necessary. No more Nikons for me

Good value with a diopter problem

by EZRA2EYES, from MA, United States Written on July 8, 2018
Again, duplicating a problem encountered with the Aculon A211 10x50s, while the performance is better than it's price might indicate, I found the usual right-eye diopter simply could not be turned enough to the plus (+) sign to focus that eye. With the large variety of pairs I own this issue has never been encountered before. I gave the 10x50s to a niece who thought they were "cool". I think I'll keep the 42s, because all the ado required in getting an RA, boxing them up and waiting who knows for how long to receive a more usable set, well, they're good enough.
Pros:
  • Price
Cons:
  • Diopter adjustment
Best Used for:
  • Birding and Wildlife viewing

Nikon Aculon Binocular - 10x42

by Buddy, from TX, United States Written on February 17, 2018
I purchased these binoculars as a gift for a son-in-law and they arrived in approximately 7 days. These were the first Nikon binoculars I have purchased and my son-in-law is really enjoying them. My experience with Opticsplanet was easy, fast and I actually saved money buying them from OP rather than from our local store. I have since ordered other items and so far I'm extremely happy with OP.

Awesome binoculars

by Ibmikey, Verified Owner from WA, United States Written on June 17, 2016
Inpurchased the glasses for my neighbor so he can watch activities at the Bible Camp 800 yards away on the other side of the lake. Since receiving the binoculars he has commented on how clear and quick to focus they are,,his wife has also used the glases and commented favorably on the ease it is to use them and the fact that they are not super heavy while providing a very clear view.
The binoculars are fairy large in size so probably not for carrying while backpacking but will work well when a need to spot a mountain sheep on a ridge far away.
Pros:
  • Clear, light
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Hunting Recreational viewing
Would recommend: Yes

Great binocular for bird watching

by digdave, from CA, United States Written on January 7, 2016
I have had stronger binoculars, but these are very sharp and make up for the 10x50 I had before.Lighter and easy to use.There is a place to hook up a tri-pod but needs a special L bracket that does not come with the binoculars. It does come with a light weight case and a strap for the binoculars.
Pros:
  • sharp, clear vision
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Quality great price

by Special delivery, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on December 26, 2015
The optics are really good. Comfort and fit are spot on. The only thing to be aware of is they are not water proof. A fact I was aware of and purchased them knowingly. If that is an important feature to you then these may not be right for you.
