Many buys lens caps and uv filters with these. Can these be used with the Binoculars? Or is it just another purchase?

VU filters and lens caps work well with the Canon 10X42 L Image Stablizer WP Binoculars. The correct size is 52mm.

I bought some plain filters to use with the binoculars simply to protect the lens from getting scratch. The binoculars come with screw threads at the lens end so by looking in the specifications you can identify what size and thread type to get. They are very easy to install. Once installed, the supplied lens caps actually fit better and do not fall off so easily as they attach better to the filters I screwed in than they do to the binoculars themselves without the filter. I'd say buying the filters was worth it for the cost involved, they are quite cheap and provide good insurance for an expensive pair of binoculars.

Yes - the larger end has end caps that attach directly to the binoculars, and the smaller end has end caps that connect to the strap. I really like the design - they are handy easy to use and yet won't get lost.

Yes, this comes with a lens cap but there is no string to keep it attached, so it's easy to lose. And yes you can put a UV filter on it, 40.5mm is the size you need.

I recommend discarding the lens caps. The upper ones do not protect the lens but do get in the way. The lower ones will eventually fall off and be lost (which is an improvement) or will spring up and block your view at the worst possible moment. In my experience, when the binocular is in use there has been no risk of damaging a lens. Otherwise I slip the cheap but cheerful case over them. These are exellent binoculars - so why ruin the experience fussing with Nikons utter failure to make a functional lens caps

Yes, they can. The binoculars have "twist up" rubber eyecaps for a custom fit, even when wearing eyeglasses. If you are nearsighted or farsighted, you can use your binoculars without wearing glasses and the binocular's focus will compensate. However, if you have astigmatism, you will need to use your glasses.

I've had them for about 3 years, with no problems. No repairs needed. However, I saw a review at the time I bought them that said, phrasing the reviewer, as in all things electronic don't expect longevity. I don't know if that's true, but I have used my IS binoculars only for astronomy, not for my casual birding or other low ordinary activities. I love them for astronomy. Ditto all this for my Canon 15x50 IS ones. My only criticism for both are the lens caps.

Harvey, They screw on to the front of the lens like a filter. I have experimented with both sets of lens and they seem to well. You'll need the tripod for the 2X and maybe the macro lenses.

Yes, you can use your lens cap and hood. The filter has threads to grip the lens cap or you can even stack an additional filter. Keep in mind that you will need to remove the filter to compose and focus. You can't see anything at all through the filter. It is very dark.

They are great small binoculars. I don't see why not. I use them for stadium viewing. (Football games) isn't everything good on a beach in Hawaii?

yes, they can, and after focusing them, they can be locked in position so that you don't have to continually refocus them. Very nice binoculars.

That really depends on what you are going to use them for. I bought the Orion Paragon-Plus XHD Extra Heavy-Duty Tripod Stand for Binoculars (Black) for my set. I originally got the binoculars for checking out the moon and some entry level astronomy. But I mostly use them for bird watching on the pond in my backyard. That tripod works pretty well for both - much better for the birds than planets.

I think they would work quite well. I used to have a pair of 10X50 binoculars and it was too hard to keep the field of vision steady. Really needed a tripod to see clearly without shaking.However, I'm not a hunter, per se.

I bought this and all you need is the lens to screw them into - and they come with a number of adapter rings, so you're likely covered. They aren't the best for wider lenses (you start to see the mattebox etc.). They also aren't the highest quality filters in terms of durability etc. But you really need to baby any filters you buy anyways, so the fact that they're plastic and not glass isn't in my mind an issue. Are they the most optically clear grads you can get? No. But I still LOVE the set I bought despite the shortcomings - given the absurdly cheap price (comparatively).Adam

These will work fine. Because they are smaller, the field of view will be smaller. The object will be the same size, you just won't be able to see as much in the view as you would with bigger lens. Basically, these are as powerful as larger sized binoculars, you just don't get the field of view that you do in larger lens. Hope this helps

They come with a soft case and lens covers (they are soft plastic). My husband loves these binoculars!

Great! In fact if you need corrective lenses--you should have them on when you use these binoculars for viewing. The salesman at Bushnell Outlet described these as multi-person grab and go binoculars--no real adjustments needed. He said many binoculars are really single person use as you do intricate focusing for your particular vision and magnification, ie, as with birding. With sports--you need to see something quickly and don't want to spend time focusing. My husband and I love them and switch back and forth and I wear glasses and he does not.
