Nikon Prostaff 5 Fieldscope 82-A

The Nikon PROSTAFF 5 82-A is an exceptional angular telescope boasting an 80 mm diameter. With its solid mechanics, water resistance, and the impeccable optics of the renowned Japanese brand Nikon, this telescope is an unparalleled companion for bird watching and wildlife observation during field trips.

Compared to the earlier RA III models, the PROSTAFF 5 observing telescopes have bodies that are approximately 20% lighter. This reduction in weight enhances portability without compromising performance. The telescope incorporates newly developed glasses that effectively minimize chromatic aberration at the edges of the field of view, ensuring sharp and accurate images. Furthermore, the large offset of the exit pupil provides exceptional comfort during extended periods of observation.

The offered product consists of a telescope body, which is available in three variations: two fixed focal lengths and one with zoom capabilities. This selection allows users to choose the perfect option to suit their specific needs.
