A Guide to Birding with Binoculars

By Photo’s Morgan Lyle

To address the particular demands of hunters, birders, and outdoor enthusiastsespecially those who glass across vast distances like the prairies of the American WestCelestron offers the 12×50 Nature DX Binoculars. They deliver bright high-contrast images with accurate true-to-life color and crisp clarity even when observing from long distances.

To achieve this optical performance, these binoculars feature antireflection fully multicoated glass lenses with phase-corrected BAK4 roof prisms. The angle of view is generous and despite the powerful magnification, these binoculars can focus as close as 8.2 feet for observing nearby birds, insects, or flowers. Additional features like a long eye relief and wide exit pupils improve viewing comfort while reducing eyestrain, so long glassing sessions are more pleasurable.

The chassis is made of lightweight, durable polycarbonate, and the optical tubes are nitrogen=filled and O-ring sealed to make them waterproof and resistant to internal fogging. For those long days in your blind or in the field, or if you just want to eliminate arm fatigue or hand shake, the Nature DX ED binoculars can be mounted to a tripod using an optional adapter.
