Hello,
I tried searching with this term but someone must have this in their signature line or such, so many unrelated results.
I an interested in info on astro performance of this binocular. Specifically, sharpness, contrast, flatness of field-extent of usable field.
If this has been covered before, sorry.

Jay,

Check the links to 60+ mini bino review section on this forum. Lighttrap has a comprehensive review of this model. I have been reading his bino reviews for several years and this is one model he rates the very best.

I prefer more compact roof prism waterproof binos for general use myself otherwise I'd seriously consider this model.

Jay,
This may answer some q's: Nikon 12x50 SEs

If you have any other q's, just ask. I believe these to be some of the finest binoculars on the planet, and I've had over 30 binoculars. However, the 12x50 SEs aren't for everybody. That's for sure.
