Celestron Nature DX ED 12 x 50 Binoculars - Premium Extra Low Dispersion ED Glass Lenses

Product Information

It is also tripod-adaptable, so you can mount it on any standard photographic tripod for extended viewing or digiscoping (photography through the eyepiece). For those long days in your blind or in the field, or if you just want to eliminate arm fatigue or hand shake, the Nature DX ED binoculars can be mounted to a tripod using an optional adapter. Mostly obvious as a purple line around bright objects, it's the result of poorly focused wavelengths of light.

It generally refers to glass coatings allowing more light transmission and, therefore, brighter images.As well as being ideal for stargazing, you should also consider the Celestron Nature DX ED 12x50 as ripe for everything from wildlife observations (they can focus on animals just 2m/6. It’s an especially great companion for nature observation and bird watching, with phase-coated BaK-4 prisms and a close focus of just 8. They are attached to the end of the tubes by rubber rings, which allow the lens caps to hang down beneath the lenses while you use them. Something we found slightly annoying was the objective lens caps, which are attached to the tubes and hang down while you use the Celestron Nature DX ED 12x50. They're a step-up choice compared to other 12x50 binoculars on the market, but all-round build quality and those Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass optics make these roof prism binoculars a standout product.

A binocular can be considered "fully multi-coated" when all air-to-glass surfaces are coated with multiple layers of anti-reflectivity coatings so that the maximum amount of light passes through the glass to the eye. Roof prism binoculars like the Nature DX ED 12x50 are all about saving space, while their porro prism rivals are mostly about value for money. It’s Celestron’s name for high quality glass that eliminates chromatic aberration (which is responsible for a purplish edge around bright objects), accurate color, more brightness and extra sharpness.

To address the particular demands of hunters, birders, and outdoor enthusiasts—especially those who glass across vast distances like the prairies of the American West— Celestron offers the 12x50 Nature DX ED Binoculars. There are some nice design flourishes, such as textured side panels where your fingers will rest and around eyepieces. Not only because of their innate specifications, but because they have both core quality and a compact design that makes them easily portable.
