In our Celestron Nature DX ED 12×50 review, we rated them four out of five stars and, thanks to the extra-low dispersion glass (that is what the ‘ED’ stands for), the views were bright and sharp especially at dusk and night. This makes them an excellent contender for your next pair of skywatching binoculars.
The Celestron Nature DX ED 12×50 binoculars have a 4.8-degree field of view and a close focus of just 2m/6.5ft meaning they are adept at observing both distant wildlife and backyard visitors. They come with a neck strap, lens cap, rainguard, carrying case and lens cloth.
We feature the Celestron Nature DX ED 12×50 binoculars in our Best Binoculars guide for three main reasons — the sharp and bright images, their portability and their durability. They are waterproof and fogproof thanks to nitrogen purging.
In our review of the Celestron Nature DX ED 12×50, we cite them as being an expensive pair of binos but with the price sitting a few dollars over $200, we think now is the time to snap them up. They really are a go-anywhere pair that will last a lifetime with us carrying these binoculars around since we reviewed them two years ago.
