Nix for couch potatoes: The Aculon A211

What does a city man with binoculars? Who does not want to peer into the neighboring apartment, has the binoculars to take in nature, or, as in my case, with an organic farm. The binoculars itself is stably processed has a rubberized surface and is thus lying well even in schwitzigsten hands. However, it is also relatively heavy, making a time-up-with-itself cause unlikely. This will be more precise application not open up to me also. In an amusement park or a concert I would not take the massive part, anyway.

In addition to the binocular itself are in a box nor a tailor-made nylon bag, a strap, rubber protective caps for the front and rear lenses and a guide. Moreover, is the "A211 - 10-22x50" nor a tripod adapter with, with which one the binoculars - if any - can screw on a suitable stand. And especially with large zoom (that can be set quite easily by finger) must be already kept very quiet hand in order to reasonably wobble-free look into the distance can. I was - as binoculars layman - amazed at how detailed distant objects are recognizable. So swallows were on a telephone pole as clearly recognizable and sehbar as a license plate that was attached to a determined 50 meters parked car, readable.

However, I had some time to look problems right through the binoculars. Again and again I had to fix the binoculars again, so my eyelids do not limit the field of vision. Sharpness and detail are perfectly suited for my eyes, and the view border is not blurred or fischaugig.

Who has a good use for the large and robust binoculars, can do with the Nikon Aculon safe little wrong. However, for every application it is not suitable due to its size and weight. Thus solid four out of five stars.
