Clear winners @ 10 X 50
By B. Martin
Living in the upper Mid West, the landscape's heavily forested and glaciated.It's time to see what I was missing.Nikon lens/prisms are World renowned,...and for the dollar, arguably the best.I wanted Roof Prism binoculars, so that made the decision easier.Magnification is a preference factor, I chose 10X magnification after trying a family members 8X(more on this later)+ Trailblazers became the logical choice because of the larger 50mm objective lens +With a larger 50mm objective lens, you attain many sought after qualities.1: they gather more light entering the binoculars resulting in better imaging {any low light, dusk/dawn}2: the field of view {angle of view} increases for smoother viewing/scanning3: they generate a larger exit pupil for easier focusing and viewing for your eye After enjoying the Nikon Trailblazer 10X50 for about a week now, I must say the decision was perfect. Quite frankly, I'm amazed with the Trailblazers superb viewing ~ clarity ~ solid/rugged ATB construction.When you hold these in hand, it really feels like your holding quality.You get a good feeling even before using them,...call it the X factor.(30 oz. is also acceptable weight for this quality)I don't wear glasses, so I needed to turn'up the eyecups 1 click to eliminate any 'vignetting',..no problem.The 10X magnification is a thrill; with ice forming around them, I spotted 3 Goldeneyes' diving underwater nearly a half mile away...incredible!This magnification hasn't given me issues on holding steady view.One last thing, I did some personal tests to see if I lost any color or contrast with the Trailblazers,..the answer is no. All I got was an accurate, super clear image and a smile!~ The Nikon Trailblazer 10X50 are clear winners & easily 5 Stars for their stellar value ~

Great general purpose binocular
By Mark R. Williams
I have been in the military for several years now and have come to use many binos/optics in my line of work. Leupold and Steiner being the majority of all military enhanced optic makers. Most professional military binos are 8x42mm. However, it isn't always enough, I decided to spend the frugal money on these Nikon's ATB's and have been throughly pleased.The Image quality alone shows Nikon's tried and true dedication to superior lens quality.The Nikon's large objective lens allows for superbly bright images in dark or shady conditions. Using these binoculars at night, they produce as much light into the eye as the $500.00 set of Steiners and Leupold's. In fact, several of my co-workers also agree, for the money these may be the best optic to choose from.During day time use, or night for that matter. the lens focus a tight picture. From 5m in front of you to infinity the fine adjustment knob will focus in on what you need. The eye relief adjustment knobs are an excellent feature. Many Binoculars do not have this feature (It physically separates your eye from the diopter lens) ensuring proper eye relief at all times. This, when using your Binos for extended time will reduce eye and forehead fatigue.Construction:I have used these in several climate zones, hot and arid, hot and wet, extremely cold and temperate cool hunting conditions..They have been banged up, skuffed up and dropped and they still preform like a champ. They feel rock solid and build like a block of steel when you hold them.Many say lighter is better, but I would submit to you, solid is better and you.These will be going with me onto deployment soon....Ill be leaving my steiners in the armory.

Light weight and easy to handle
By NGC7662
I recently purchased these binoculars after comparing against Nikon Monarch binoculars. The Nikon's well-known model, Monarch binoculars (8 x 42mm) are somewhat smaller, compared to this Trailblazer (50mm model). Since I use these binoculars for astronomy and star gazing, I need binoculars that have a large aperture as possible. Besides, I wear the eye-glasses. So, I wanted binoculars that have a longer eye-relief, also. This model has 19.6mm (0.78") eye-relief. After considering all the above, I decided to try this new model out. Tonight, I watched the comet, C/2007 N3 (Lulin) with my eye-glasses through these binoculars. After I focused the binoculars to Saturn first, I just pulled slightly down to center the comet. I could verify the comet, Lulin very easily. All the star fields I could see in the sight were pin point, crisp and sharp. The image quality is also excellent and it is very easy to handle for a long time because of its light-weight design, compared to the old-fashioned heavy Porro prizm binoculars.Additionally, the price was very affordable, comparing to somewhat expensive Monarch series. Overall, I am very satisfied with these Trailblazer binoculars. I strongly recommend anyone who wish to do star gazing. At last, 10x power may be a little shaky but if you lean against any wall, trees or car, it should be fine even for star gazing.If you would have needed more larger aparture, Nikon has Monarch series featuring 56mm aperture models, 8.5x, 10x and 12x but the prices will be 2.5 times more than these Trailblazer series, though.
