The ProStaff 5 16-48x60 Spotting Scope from Nikon features a Porro prism design paired with fully multi-coated optics for bright, high-contrast viewing.
Its 16–48x zoom magnification range allows for wide field scanning at lower power, followed by smooth, progressive magnification to bring finer details into sharp focus. The 60mm objective lens transmits sufficient light for effective viewing during low-light periods such as dawn and twilight.
The straight eyepiece design enables faster target acquisition and makes it easier to follow moving subjects in the field.
