We haven't reviewed this ED version, but we have reviewed the Celestron Nature DX 12x56 and awarded them 4.5/5 stars and named them one of the best binoculars — and that was without Extra Dispersion glass. The 12x50s in this deal are waterproof and fogproof for use in any weather, making them a dream for birdwatchers and nature lovers.
Save $55 on a pair of binoculars that nature enthusiasts will love. They're a great upgrade from your beginner pair, and the extra dispersion glass provides vivid, razor-sharp images.
They're tripod adaptable, which is great for long observation sessions out in the field (or for stargazing), and they come with a padded case, eyecup covers, a neck strap and a cleaning cloth. We like that the eyepiece covers are attached together — they're much less susceptible to being lost, that way!
The 10x50 variant also appears to be on offer at $219.99, but they were $185 through the entirety of October! Plus, with the 12x50 pair still being cheaper, we say go for those with the slightly higher magnification.
