A big magnification is great when I want to pull the faraway up close and personal. Unfortunately, the higher the magnification, the narrower the field of view. This means it’s sometimes hard to track subjects once they start moving about.
But what would happen if there were one catch-all device that didn’t necessitate a compromise? Enter zoom binoculars, of which the Nikon Action Zoom 10-22x50 is the latest example. If you’ve ever wanted to shift from a wide field of view to a higher-powered close-up – and back again – then here’s an example worth considering. There’s also the added enticement of a large multi-coated 50mm objective lens to let in as much light as possible and thereby allow observation to continue for longer, even into the hour of dusk.
