Prostaff 3S 10 x 42 cm

Product Information

We don’t know if it’s because we’ve been using this Nikon Prostaff 3S 10×42 binoculars for so long, but the eyecups started to feel a bit loose gradually. Low-Light Performance Relatively, it also offers a wide field of view. They can be used to view subjects far and wide. If you need to observe subjects like insects more closely, you will find the close focus distance of 9.8’ helpful. Construction: Nikon Prostaff 3 is relatively lighter of all. However, in terms of size, Nikon Prostaff 5 10×42 is the most ergonomic one (although Nikon Prostaff 5 only shows a tiny bit of difference in size with Nikon prostaff 7 binoculars). They are all very durable.

Construction: Nikon Trailblazer is known among the most compact of Nikon binoculars, and you could see from the table the size is best in ergonomic features. However, Nikon Prostaff 3 has the lightest weight. But just keep in mind that any movement that you make gets multiplied by the magnification and thus you also get more image shake with a 10x42 vs 8x42 when hand holding them and thus even though the image may have more detail if it is shaking about too much you won’t be able to appreciate it. With these binoculars, rugged performance does not have to come at a price. It is built with an Eco-Glass optical system, which is free from arsenic and lead. On top of that, their lenses are multi-coated to deliver above average light transmission, resulting in bright and crisp images in strong light. This lens coating technology works hand-in-hand with the roof prism coated with high-reflectivity silver alloy, further optimizing brightness and clarity. Not the best we’ve seen, but very impressive at this price point. All of Canon’s current range of binos have the ‘IS’ suffix in their model name to denote the fact they’re image-stabilized binoculars. This battery-operated option enables you to get a wobble-free image by just pressing a button on the binoculars – and the stabilizing effect is both instant and jaw-dropping.

Compact and lightweight 42mm-objective lens diameter model for superior portability (565g for 8x42, 575g for 10x42) The hinges are smooth yet resistant enough to stay in place even when getting it out of the carry pouch that ships with it which is reassuring. However, we have noticed that the eyepiece lens caps are constructed of a rather rigid, unforgiving plastic that seems a little loose when fitted and easily pulls off accidentally. Prostaff 7 series consists of 8×30, 10×30, 8×42, 10×42 models, so the basic purpose was that in addition to standard-sized 42mm-dia models, 30mm-dia models that are easy to carry for everyone are available, providing high optical performance in a compact body. In a nutshell, then, the Nikon Aculon and Prostaff ranges are the ones to seek out if we want to keep our budget low yet want a reliable and simple-to-use binocular – with some Aculon binoculars being a 10th of the price of range-topping Monarch examples – while the aforementioned Monarch family is the one to investigate if we demand the very best and have the cash to invest.

Nikon has manufactured the Prostaff 3S binoculars, as well as many other of its optics, with a high-eyepoint design for long eye relief without vignetting. This provides a clear field of view for everyone, even when the user is wearing eyeglasses. Rubber-Armoured Design

High-reflectivity silver-alloy mirror coating applied on the mirror surfaces of the prisms for a bright and clear view Despite having the similar magnification and diameter of the objectives lens, Nikon Prostaff 3S is a bit smaller than its counterpart. Such small pros do matter when you need to bring the binoculars for outdoor activities. Other businesses include healthcare and industrial metrology, through which Nikon leads scientific and technological innovations. Its healthcare business supports medical endeavors, offering various cell and ophthalmology solutions. Meanwhile, its industrial metrology business supports space exploration. We had a rich brightness and clean, clear experience with this Nikon binoculars. In brief, the silver alloy mirror coating makes a huge difference to all other low, even mid segment options in the market. That’s why Nikon Prostaff 3s only uses multi-layer coating (not fully one), but still ensure perfect light transmission. The Nikon PROSTAFF 3S 10×42 takes pride in its arsenic- and lead-free Eco-Glass optical system, which means it delivers quality without posing harm to the environment. The roof prism’s mirror surfaces come with high-reflectivity, silver alloy mirror coating, which ensures decent brightness and clarity. Meanwhile, the lenses have multilayer coatings, which offer above average light transmission.
