Review on Nikon 7239 Action 7x50 EX Extreme All-Terrain Binoculars in Black by Byoung Woon Bak ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is top notch and I recommend the product for purchase.

Great binoculars, for me Nikon has confirmed its name once again. I compared it with Levenhuk (not in the store, my sister's husband has such binoculars, we compared them together and without haste), Nikon unconditionally wins in terms of picture quality, and expectedly loses in terms of size and weight :). In addition to better sharpness, Nikon has less shading when the eyes deviate, it seems that a larger exit pupil plays a role here, with the same extension. It is comfortable to use binoculars both on a sunny day and at night, although we have not been able to look at the moon and nebulae yet, the weather did not allow. The lens lids are quite acceptable, they fit moderately tightly. Geometric distortions are not particularly noticeable, at least there is no pronounced barrel and cushion, but chromatic aberrations, a purple border in contrasting objects are noticeable, small, but there. I did not check the water resistance, but I trust the manufacturer and let it be, you can not be afraid to get binoculars in the rain. The cover is made well, of course, it is quite large in size, I was especially touched by the slot for the belt on the cover, wearing this on a belt with binoculars - well, such a thing . In general, as binoculars for hand-held observation day and night, and when it is possible to carry an extra kilogram, it is a great option. A month after the purchase, I have not changed my opinion and I am completely satisfied with the binoculars.

Pros
  • Light, even at dusk very comfortable. Excellent sharpness, there is nothing to compare with, but it is noticeably sharper than the more expensive LEVENHUK Karma PRO 10x50. Qualitatively made, there is nothing to get to the bottom of, maybe only the belt would be more serious. There is water protection.
Cons
  • Pipe effect: the viewing angle is narrow, but generally sufficient, not very annoying. The weight and dimensions are quite large, but when choosing this, it was already known and for me it was uncritical. Decent chromatic aberrations on contrasting objects, although here I compare with photographic lenses, perhaps by the standards of binoculars this is normal.
