## Overview

The Nikon Aculon A211 16x50 binoculars combine powerful 16x magnification with large 50mm objective lenses and advanced multilayer-coated optics to deliver bright, distortion-free images. Designed with durable rubber armor and ergonomic eyecups, they offer comfort and shock resistance for outdoor enthusiasts. Ideal for birdwatching, hiking, and stargazing, these binoculars include a tripod mount for stable viewing, making them a versatile, premium choice for professionals and hobbyists alike.

## Description

They are ideal for a broad spectrum of outdoor pursuits, such as birdwatching, nature observation and hiking. Multilayer-coated lenses and a choice of large objective lens diameters provide extremely bright images and a wide field of view. Breath-taking visual experiences also result from the use of aspherical eyepiece lenses. The name ACULON was coined by combining the term's accuracy and precision to create a familiar-sounding word that represents Nikon's desire for more people to rediscover the details of everyday life through using binoculars.

Review: Nikon 16x50 - Top Sweet Spot binoculars - I just recently purchased these bins, and blimey they punch above their weight quality and image-wise. Very well built, felt even more premium than their counterpart Pentax (Where feel premium as it is.), and well balanced. Hardly any Chromatic Aberration. Extremely sharp and bright. Perfectly collimated. I compared them with their Pentax SP 16x50 counterparts, so as to choose which ones to keep. Alas the Pentax lost, due to excessive CA, which these Nikons keep under control very well. Excellent value for money.
Review: Superb optics for the price. Robust construction. For ornithology and stargazing. - These 16x50s were purchased to complement a pair of small Nikon Aculon 8x21 roof prism binoculars. The 8x21 make a great pair of good quality pocket binoculars which can be taken anywhere with me. The Aculon 16x50 is a different piece of equipment altogether. These are porro prism binoculars (i.e. the 'classic' shape) which are therefore considerably larger and heavier. The larger objective lens, however, gives much greater light gathering which I would say is essential for the higher magnification. These provide a clear, crisp image, even on overcast and slightly misty days. e.g. Cars can easily be distinguished and I can usually tell which make and model from over 2 miles away. Colours are clear and, as far as I can tell, not altered by the lenses. The weight of these is significant and at this magnification any small hand movement or tremor is exaggerated. I have fairly steady hands, so can use these for a 5-10 mins without significant shake looking at objects 10-300m or so away. Stargazing, however, is a different matter. I find obtaining a steady image very difficult at this range with this magnification, so switch to using a tripod or monopod for this. I have recently started to enjoy stargazing. These binoculars are great if you want high magnification for bird watching and for stargazing, without progressing to a telescope. These come with a tripod mount, so you won't need to purchase one separately. I was looking for higher power, good optics and flexibility without significant compromise in quality. At this stage I feel that I have found this, without ANY perceivable compromise at all in quality. I expected good kit from Nikon, but even I was surprised.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do these binoculars have reasonable eye relief?  i.e. can you use them with your glasses on?**
A: I can not help because I do not use glasses. But the rubber surrounding the eye is very soft and creates, regulating, distance to the lens.I really like these binoculars.

**Q: How are these for astronomy? Better to go bigger with tripod or 10x50 for handheld?**
A: Small is good for astronomy as you don’t have to bother with a tripod. You can always get a telescope when you’ve got a better idea of the sky and where you’re looking

**Q: Torn between these and the 12-50,s forwatching aircraft . I want a pair that can be used for altitude and closer air show viewing , any suggestions?**
A: I have used  16x50 to view planes at what I presume was 34,000ft -  you need a steady hand or tripod.   I could just make out the general shape of planes but not the carriers' livery   12x50 will give less detail.

**Q: Are these suitable to be used just holding them and no tripod. While out hiking**
A: As binoculars they are good with excellent optics for the price,they are relatively large and heavy as one would expect with16x magnification,and it does require a steady hand though ,I live in the country and they are good for identifying animals and birds and white vans up to no good at good distance ie 400 to 600 metres.The description "zoom" is misleading they do not zoom like a camera lens there is only lens movement for focusing,If you are fit and strong they could be carried but I feel the average person would find them heavy and bulky. Now I also have a very good small binoculars 8 x 20  made by Nikon about 35 years ago,the optics are outstanding and I use them for birdwatching around the garden and adjoining wood land,they were expensive at the time £140 around 1985,todays equivalent is about £700.and they do fit in a coat pocket.  My intention is to eventually buy a a pair of Nikon or equivalent 10 x40 or 10 x50 in the £750/£1000 range. I feel that it is better to have very good optics than extreme magnification. Also very large binoculars are easily damaged particularly if dropped. I hope my experience is of some help.
