Nikon’s multilayer lens coating delivers superior light transmission for bright, clear images and aspherical eyepiece lenses minimize image distortion. A fully multi-coated optic lens makes these ecologically friendly binoculars, the go-to sighting device for short to mid-range viewing experience. Like all the Nikon Travelite V binoculars, these feature multilayer-coated lenses for bright images, BaK4 high index prisms: for extra-high resolution images and aspherical lenses (not on Zoom version) that minimise distortion and provide sharp images right up to the periphery.

Not MC, but the last version of the blue Nikoon single MgF coatings were very good, no flaring and good color rendition. Had these been 50mm, I probably would never have sold them, but with 40mm objectives, the exit pupils shrunk down to 2.6mm at 15x. Okay for sunny days, but somewhat dim on overcast days.

If we wanted to maximize low-light performance, strap, although some would like them to. It wouldn't make sense, to our way of thinking, to add the extra plastic to form a bridge between angular field of view of 4.2° or 240ft/73m at 1,000yds/m — it's actually a fairly limited viewing area for the 12X25 user.carbon fiber for tough, lightweight fuel efficiency, one wonders why there aren't more binoculars made this way!)

That Travelite EX 12x25 would be a bit better, but I think most here would find the 8x25 a far better choice overall (and quite a reasonable compact).

Because of the larger zoom, the have a smaller field of view (80m at 1000m) than the 8x, 9x and even 10x Travelite's. It is because of this I would not recommend them to birdwatchers, unless most of the birding you do is in wide open areas, like you find with water birds near the ocean or on lakes and dams. I do however recommend them as ideal travel companions, great for wildlife observation and therefore make great safari binoculars.

For our test, we headed 750 feet (229 meters) above sea level and atop of Westbury White Horse Hill, United Kingdom, a favorite location to take in the views at the edge of Salisbury Plain. The observing conditions were fair, with no precipitation, next-to-no reduction in visibility and with less than 20% of the sky covered in cloud. The reason for this is because of the compact's short barrels not providing the amount of room needed for a strong system to overcome be a little nervous about folding these down as a binocular ages. Our thinking was that the rubber gets stiff with ageSometimes the comfort of a trusted, known brand that offers a warranty is worth paying that little bit extra for.That said, you will see a couple of models in this guide that are lesser known but that we've reviewed and would recommend as good-value-for-money. How we test the best compact binoculars Opticron Aspheric 3 10x25They may not be the smallest pair in this list, but their classic design is perfect for users with larger hands who still want a relatively compact model.★★★★ Other major elements include the size of the exit pupil and the quality of the glass used to make the prism. We particularly like the large, easy-to-grip center-focus knob that allows for adjustments on chilly evenings without needing to remove gloves.
