What is the close focus on these binoculars?

The following link will list the Nikon factory specs: http://www.nikon.com/products/sportoptics/lineup/binoculars/aculon/aculon_a211/spec.htm It shows 8 meters (approximately 26 feet) for the 7 x 50 Aculon. If I am looking at something closer, I am probably using a camera with a telephoto lens. Seven power is about as strong as most people can hand hold steadily without a tripod. The 50 mm lens gives more light gathering power than your eyes which makes these binoculars great for dusk and night viewing.

Hi Jesslyn,I'm sorry I dont know the close focus on these. I bought them as a gift. They work great from what I'm told. Good luck!

If you're using these on the water it would seem that you might consider the marine style. However, I love these for viewing deer and other animals in the forest. Very easy to focus these binoculars. I would give them a rating of 9 out of 10.

Yes. These Binoculars are just like most with a diopter adjustment. I'm extremely near-sighted myself so this feature was an important consideration for me.

Emphatically yes. I put off buying binoculars for years because of eyeglasses. Then I tried these binoculars. "Eye Relief" is the relevant measurement for the distance the lenses can be from the eye while still getting full field of view.

I have been very satisfied with the quality of these binoculars and the ease to adjust for distances from 20ft to 100yds. true - you could pay lots more and get a finer resolution but for the price they do the job!

They are very close to what you see is what you get. They come up about 10-15% smaller than what you are seeing through the viewfinder. (depending on the amount of zoom you are using when shooting). I've had mine for over a year now and still enjoying it.

I have a fairly strong prescription and I can take my glasses off and use them. I just use the focus knob and I can see well. We use them for bird watching. I've never been able to use binoculars with my glasses on.

yes, they can, and after focusing them, they can be locked in position so that you don't have to continually refocus them. Very nice binoculars.

good question. there are two eyepieces. if you ask me the distance would be the equivalent of a 500mm lense without the zoom applied on the binocs.

You can be near, I mean near and close with these binocs, and probably only these, with a focus probability.

I think they would work quite well. I used to have a pair of 10X50 binoculars and it was too hard to keep the field of vision steady. Really needed a tripod to see clearly without shaking.However, I'm not a hunter, per se.

In theory, these should be excellent hand-held, low power, wide-field astro-binoculars. The low magnification paired with the relatively large objective, translates into a 7mm exit pupil. This is much better light transmission than the example 15x70 that was provided. However, I have no idea about the focus mechanism on these binos. If it is some sort of "auto-focus", then I would imagine it would be difficult for these to pick up something at infinity in dim light. Which, if this is the case, it is too bad because these would otherwise be wonderful for sweeping views of the Milky Way.

Amazon sells spectacles that function like binoculars. You might be able find a pair that will focus to 3' away but be careful. I ordered a pair of really cheap one and the field of view was too small to be useful. I threw them away. They make much, much better ones that cost much, much more. The issue is can you find a pair that will satisfy your needs at price you can afford.

Since this has a 10 power magnification, with a fairly good field of view, I think they'd work well for bird-watching. You might consider something with an adjustable focus and magnification but this is commoner on single lens spotting scopes or camera lens applications than in binoculars. For a fixed power device, this is a good option. Paul M.

Not that I can find with a quick googling. Of course, I cannot find such specific conditions of review for others either. 9x32 is a pretty rare power. Clarity is not too specific, but I assume you could break it into contrast and sharpness, both pretty good for the money here. If you are seriously into scouting game you probably want something a bit better, though. Zen-Ray 8x42, Vortex Solo 8x36 , something like that. The main issue with this is the tight focuser ring. Contrast is very good, sharpness good. (better than the BG binoculars). I'd back off to 7x or 8x for scouting and spend a bit more.

I have no idea....I sent my binoculars back because of the poor quality of the images taken. Sorry I could not help.

No they are not zoom in the strictest sense of the word. They will focus on things near or far and do make things appear closer, these are great binoculars and I dont think anyone would be disappointed with them.
