Ltd, introduced another new series again into the market, called the Nikon Prostaff 3s binoculars. The models released were the 8×42 and 10×42 models and they became the latest addition to the Prostaff series. Maybe I guess is because of the much popularity the previous series had gained.

Nonetheless, you have nothing to worry about with the Prostaff 3S. Learning about basic outdoor gear like binoculars is a crucial step, and you can start that process with beginner-friendly binoculars. Particularly, if you are infatuated with astronomy you can choose 10X magnification of the Prostaff 7s series.

This is my first post so please bear with me. I have been into astronomy since I was 12 and while I've owned numerous telescopes over the years, I've never owned a good pair of binoculars. My husband gave me a pair of what seem to be 25 year old Bushnell 7x35s. This ARE old and as such aren't perfect, but it's shown me how much I could probably cross over into birding with whatever I end up getting.

The Nikon Prostaff 7s featured 8×30, 10×30, 8×42 and 10×42 models. With these models, Nikon had fully redesigned the 8×42 and 10×42 models to be more advanced than their predecessors the Prostaff 7 binoculars series.

I also had the chance to look through the 3s 10x42. The 7s is such a world of difference for just a slighter higher price. There was so much glare it was distracting, with considerably more CA. The only time I saw CA in the 7s's is when I held it directly up to the ceiling lights. your uses. Optically the AE is good, but only in the center view, it has a nice center sweet spot but goes off Nikon Vision Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Nikon Corporation, is pleased to announce the release of the PROSTAFF 3S binoculars, featuring 8x42 and 10x42 models.

I think the Prostaff 7 models are quite good, I have a PS 7s 8x30 also, and they are a nice quality made binocular. Something of a bargain, this pair of Celestron BaK-4 prism binoculars boasts 8x magnification and multi-coated optics to keep your view as clear as possible. This isn't the only size available – you can get these Outland X binoculars in other magnifications and sizes too.

While performance isn’t quite up there with Nikon’s own premium Monarch HG range in terms of clarity and sharpness, and we did notice the odd instance of purple fringing in contrast-y situations, it’s certainly ‘good enough’. In conclusion this is a versatile and well performing device offering very fair value for money.
