About This Model
The Nikon PROSTAFF P7 12×50 is a full-size binocular designed for birdwatching, wildlife observation, and outdoor activities where higher magnification helps reveal distant details. Its 12x magnification brings faraway subjects closer, while the 50mm objective lenses gather light for observing wildlife and landscapes in varied outdoor conditions. The 5.6° real field of view provides a useful viewing area for scanning open terrain and following distant subjects.
The optical system uses multilayer-coated lenses and BaK-4 roof prisms with phase-correction and dielectric high-reflective coatings. These features are designed to improve light transmission, contrast, and image clarity. The binocular offers a 4.2mm exit pupil and 16.4mm eye relief, while its apparent field of view of 60.8° provides an expansive viewing experience for a 12x model.
Built for outdoor use, the PROSTAFF P7 features a rubber-armored body, waterproof construction rated for immersion up to 1 meter for 10 minutes, and nitrogen filling to help prevent internal fogging. Its 645g weight offers a practical balance between the larger objective lenses and portability.
