Todd Walters: The Nikon A211 10x42 are my second pair of Nikon binoculars. I bought a pair of Nikon 7x35 over 20 years ago. I mainly use them for sporting events, sky watching and bird watching. I like that they bring the action closer than my 7x35. They are crystal clear and easy to focus. My daughter now uses my 7x35 and loves them. I highly recommend Nikon binoculars.

Griz: Got these binoculars on sale and am over the moon with my purchase. Easy to adjust and the image is amazing. Even though they are larger in size, they are quite light in weight so are easy to use and hold for long periods of time. Highly recommend these for any type of use.

Frankie J: Took me a bit to get used to, but they are pretty nice. Don't use them as much as I thought I would, but there's no regrets in buying. If you want a pair, you can't go wrong with these for the price!

Amazon Customer: This is very good binoculars with good magnification and sharp images. I use it for bird watching.
Cons
1. It is heavy round the neck to carry although the strap is broad.
2. The inter papillary adjustment is stiff
Those who would like to upgrade from the more easily portable smaller binocs can buy these.

Sathya: 1. Nikon build is solid and strong. It's heavy and has a nice grip.
2. I was able to view distances upto 2 kms clearly.
3. Within 1 km, you can make out people's faces.
4. I wouldn't recommend this for star gazing. The moon looks pretty clear with all the craters visible though.
5. Overall, worth for money.

Hannah Dahlberg: These are amazing binoculars especially for the price. Nikon makes a quality product and these are no exception. I was looking for some for hunting and these are great. They work amazingly well in low light and have crystal clear picture. My only knock on these is they have a tendency to fog up on the outside of the lense but km not even sure if there's any way to avoid that. I would have liked to see more careful packaging as it was shipped just in an Amazon bag in the nikon box. For something that is a bit fragile I would have preferred a nox with padding, but they didn't come damaged so thats a plus. Over all if you're looking for hunting binoculars that aren't going to break the bank then definitely get these you won't regret it.

VKB: After trying out the binoculars for a couple of days feel happy about the purchase as it meets my expectations at this price level. My review is from a casual birder's point of view with above average experience with optics.

To start with the grip contour is very ergonomic and fits a medium small hand well. The build is sturdy and the rubberised exterior good to feel and not sticky.The weight should be no concern and felt light enough to hold steady without much effort with one hand or three fingers if needed.

The view was clear once you get the focus and power correction right. Though has a some what narrower field of view than a 7x or 8 x lens seems adequate to scan the skies or field . Magnification is sufficient to get intricate details at 50 -100 ft and to get sufficient details on a sparrow sized bird in shade at around 250 ft and identifiable features in a large bird at 500 ft..In flight birds needs a little more effort to focus but once you get it the focusing ring moves nicely and firmly as you attempt to keep the focus.

There is some chromatic aberration with a yellow hue visible especially at the edges and when viewing a heavily backlit subject but...

Anand More: I was in need for decent binocular for my Yellowstone, Grand Teton vacation. Price range was $50 to 75. After lot of research (specs, types, deals etc.) I purchased Aculon A211 10 X 42. This binocular is probably the best in the class for the price. Few observations after using it on 10 days vacation.
- Great for general purpose binocular, light weight, sturdy build, decent size to carry in hand or using with neck strap.
- Awesome clarity, crisp images and true colors, good light, quick focusing,
- Couple issues -
10X is great if you have steady hands to hold the binocular. My wife complained about shakiness since she had trouble holding it steady.
Front cap keeps falling off the strap. I wish they had close loop.
As other reviews said, it fogs sometime, especially in cold weather. No big deal for me.
Amazon price keep changing. It dropped by $8 a day after I purchased it.
