We haven’t reviewed this ED version, but we have reviewed the Celestron Nature DX 12×56 and awarded them 4.5/5 stars and named them one of the best binoculars — and that was without Extra Dispersion glass. The 12x50s in this deal are waterproof and fogproof for use in any weather, making them a dream for birdwatchers and nature lovers.
They’re tripod adaptable, which is great for long observation sessions out in the field (or for stargazing), and they come with a padded case, eyecup covers, a neck strap and a cleaning cloth. We like that the eyepiece covers are attached together — they’re much less susceptible to being lost, that way!
The 10×50 variant also appears to be on offer at $219.99, but they were $185 through the entirety of October! Plus, with the 12×50 pair still being cheaper, we say go for those with the slightly higher magnification.
Key features: 12x magnification, 50mm objective lens diameter,8.2 ft close focus, 14.3mm eye relief, waterproof, fog proof, 84-degree field of view, 1.78 lbs / 806 g.
Price history: They were around $6 cheaper during October, but otherwise, they’re the cheapest they’ve been all year.
Price comparison: Walmart: $229.99 | Adorama: $229.99
Reviews consensus: A fantastic choice for outdoor enthusiasts seeking crisp, high-quality views. They deliver bright, true-to-life color and minimal chromatic aberration thanks to their Extra Dispersion glass, and they are durable, lightweight and ideal for use in all weather. A great blend of performance and value.
