Does the Nikon 8244 fold in far enough to accommodate narrow set eyes? My last purchase (Bushnell) does not which makes them unworkable for me.

Frank,I measured them at 5.5 cm or just under 3.25 inches, small enough for most children. I also have a set of Bushnells and the Nixon has a shorter focalpoint, so you can focus on an object (such as a bird feeder) while standing about 5 feet closer.

I just checked mine with a caliper, and they'll close down to about 55mm. My eyes are pretty close set at 61mm, and they work for me.

This set of binoculars works well for me I'm am small person with narrow eye set so hopefully it will work for you

I bought two for my 8 and 10 year old granddaughters and they had no problem, that I saw, using them. You can always return them.

it will not be far enough back for you to be able to see a big view of the target.the scope is not long enough to move it back to get a full view.i got a simmons 3-9/32mm .22mag which fits good.you may want to try that. c.b. hope this will help you.

Hi, I had got a wide range of Nikon, Leopold, Steiner binoculars so I know what I am talking about and I got a pair of this particular Nikon Aculon binoculars and they are good to keep on my truck for general purpose as I have to re-adjust often, once adjusted both sides noted that going from low/mid range to high the image goes slyly blurry so I try different times and noted no change I believe is the optics adjustment problem or manufactory issues just remember you get what you pay for.

Bushnell Perma Focus 8x25. I have to remove my glasses, then all is perfect. Not for upclose. Best for the $$$ Going to Europe in Spring 2014.Can't wait to use them!!!!!!

I am very pleased with the clarity. I had a 8x35 Bushnell for birding but the extra power with Nikon is much better. I keep the Bushnells in my car.

On my zoom it is visible in the lens at the widest angle (24 mm) even when folded back completely. It is fine even at 30mm and I feel like it is a reasonable compromise. I need it for because I get terrible flare using my variable ND filter if I don't. Since the filter needs to rotate, I can't use a petal design that helps with avoiding blocking wide angle lenses.

Do what? Haha ask your question in a different way. I'm very happy with my Bushnell v2 with slope fyi

if you wear glasses as I do you are supposed to roll the rubber cups on the eyepiece down for viewing with glasses, Bushnell actually has a "twist-up" feature on most of their optics that makes it easier. The only down side is that repeated rolling down for glases and back up for someone without glasses will eventually lead to the rubber breaking and then they will only be suitable for those with glasses

My vision is not that far out however I have issues with small print and it is exactly what I use them for is reading. the multiple lens should give you a good match. I wear over my glasses also.

well, I've had a few binoculars before this pair of Bushnell's. They are waterproof and 10x42 gives you great depth of vision. I love them...

Hey Barbara,I would definitely try one a little sturdier. I have this one now on a lighter Nikon (D7000) and primarily use a smaller lens (18-105) and I think it is about at capacity and maybe a little under-qualified. Just one man's opinion but I think something more robust would suit your very nice set up better.

When it is folded the size stated is correct. they not big at all. they turned out to be better then I thought. I bought 3 different Bushnells and like all 3

Yes, and yes. But, a good pair of 10x50 porros are hard to beat for convenience and all-around astro use. Good field of view and good magnification for most binocular objects. 8x40s are also quite useful. Young eyes might be up to using a good pair of 7x50 under fairly dark (rural) skies. That said, to take a quick handheld looksee at the Moon or Jupiter or Mars or the Orion Nebula or Comets or Hawks or Gulls this pair of 12x60 is awesome in my opinion. And that said, but if I only had one pair of binoculars I would probably opt for a good 8x40 (8x42/44) pair of water/fog proof porro prism bins. The Bushnell Legacy and the Pentax PCF WP come to mind. Or a good pair of 8x40 roof prism bins. I wouldn't bother with any porro that didn't at least have Phase Coating PC for Astro use.

Don't know about the Bushnell, but this Nikon model is well known for its excellent optical design -- part of a new generation of computer designed optics that has made such glass less expensive than older trial and error designs. Also plenty of rave reviews of this model -- there is one in Cool Tools.com.

I thnk you can find lighter binoculars. I have a pair of NIKON that are by far my favorite.

No Problem The only thing you would need is a good tripod. I find that holding the 8250 Nikon by hand during the day looking at wild animals is one thing but at night looking at the moon or stars its a lot harder to keep steady. w

I don't have the binoculars to hand, so cannot measure the interpupilary distance directly, but this is a personal concern for me as some models are not quite narrow enough. I have no problem at all with these Vanguards.
