The Nikon ProStaff 5 16x-to-48x 60mm Spotting Scope.

The Nikon ProStaff 5 60mm Spotting Scope is an excellent entry-level spotting scope that provides clear long range views of birds without a hefty price tag. With an eyepiece that delivers an impressive zoom magnification range of 16x-to-48x, the Prostaff 5 allows you to make a wide field scan at lower magnifications, then zero in on birds of interest with progressive magnification to focus on fine details, which makes this Nikon useful for scoping birds that are near and far. All the lenses and prisms are fully multi-coated to provide brighter images, and this spotting scope is good for birding in low-light conditions including dawn and dusk.

The Nikon ProStaff 5 has a 60mm objective lens that allows for a compact and ergonomic design that still produces a wider and brighter field of view: 136 feet at 1000 yards when using the 16x magnification. The angled eyepiece provides comfortable viewing and enables easy searches for birds, even at the top of trees. Nikon also made sure the ProStaff 5 can be used in all weather conditions with a sealed O-ring, and it’s waterproof and fogproof. It also has a built-in sliding sun shade (or rain shade) that protects from glare or rain drops on the objective lens.

The Nikon ProStaff 5 16x-to-48x 60mm Spotting Scope is an excellent option for an affordable compact spotting scope.
