  • General
    • Brand: Nikon
    • Model Number: 16776
    • Product Name: NIKON PROSTAFF P3 8X42
    • Color: Black
  • Imaging
    • Magnification: 8 times
    • Objective Lens Diameter: 42 millimeters (Generally, the larger the diameter of the objective lens, the greater the light-collecting power and the brighter images will appear.)
    • Field of View at 1000 yards: 377 feet (The area of a target, measured horizontally from the location of viewing, that can be observed.)
    • Close Focusing Distance: 9.8 feet (The closest distance the user can be from an object to obtain a clear, focused view through the lens.)
    • Angular Field Of View (Apparent/degree): 7.2 degrees (Measurement of the angle of the magnified field seen through the lens. The greater the number, the wider the field of view that can be seen.)
    • Angular Field Of View (Real/degree): 7.2 degrees (Measurement of the angle of the visible field seen through the lens (without magnification). The greater the number, the wider the area that can be viewed.)
    • Twilight Factor: 18.3 (An estimation of how much image detail can be seen in low light, calculated by multiplying the magnification by the objective lens size and then finding the square root of that value. The higher the number, the more detail that should be seen. Greater magnification and/or larger objective lens size increases the twilight factor.)
  • Features
    • Size: Full Size
    • Folding Design: false
    • Prism Type: Roof (Prisms ensure the proper horizontal and vertical orientation of the view. There are two main types: roof and Porro. Roof prisms, typically more expensive than the alternative, have a more streamlined design due to their glass elements being in line with one another. Porro prisms, though they contribute to a larger form factor, typically provide a wider field of view than roof prisms.)
    • Tripod Mountable: No
    • Eyecup Type: Twist-up (In addition to blocking peripheral light, adjustable eyecups can limit or expand the field of view as well as promote comfort for the user.)
    • Exit Pupil: 5.3 millimeters (The diameter of the beam of light that travels through the lens to the user's eye. Generally, the larger this measurement, the greater the relative brightness and detail of the image.)
    • Lens Coating: Multilayer coated (Chemical coatings on a lens reduce reflective light loss and improve light transmission. The different coating levels indicate the number of anti-reflective layers and the lens surfaces to which they're applied, ranging from coated (the most basic) to fully multi-coated (typical of high-end optics).)
    • Focus System: Center (The most common binocular focusing system is center focus, which features a centered wheel or lever (InstaFocus) between the barrels, and usually additional diopter adjustment. Individual focus binoculars allows each eyepiece to be adjusted independently.)
    • Eye Relief: 20.2 millimeters (The maximum distance between the eyepiece lens and user's eye at which the full field of view can be seen.)
  • Performance
    • Maximum Depth Of Water Resistance: 3.3 feet (Measurement of the maximum depth of water in which the product is able to resist some degree of water penetration.)

    Perfect for older people.

    I read an article about vision adjustments as we age. It said we (I’m 68) need to use binoculars with a ratio of 5, if possible. 5? Yes. Take the magnification #, in this case 8, and divid it into the field of view, in this case 42. 42 divided by 8 = 5.25. These binoculars would be good for an older person. I bought these binoculars for my wife as a present before a trip and she loved them. Everything was crisp and clear. The images combined correctly as she moved the halves in and out. The coatings on the lens worked. The binoculars are light weight and not overly large. They feel good in her hands. I recommend these to everyone.
