The PROSTAFF 5 Fieldscopes are entry models of Nikon Fieldscopes and successors of the Spotting Scope RA III series. The PROSTAFF 5 Fieldscope main bodies are about 20% lighter than the current RA III spotting scopes.The newly developed zoom eyepiece lens minimises colour aberration at the edge of the field of view, and offers long eye relief for viewing comfort. Three types of eyepiece lenses with digiscoping compatibility which connect to a wide variety of COOLPIX-series compact digital cameras, by using the FSB-series Digital Camera Bracket. • Lightweight main body reduced by about 20% compared to the current model. • Minimized colour aberration at the edge of the field of view and long eye relief are achieved with the newly developed zoom eyepiece lens. • Large objective lens (60mm & 82mm) for a brighter field of view. • All lenses and prisms in the main body and the eyepieces are multilayer coated. • Waterproof (Up to 1m for 10 minutes) and fog-free with O-ring seals and nitrogen gas in the main body. Water-resistant eyepiece lenses. • The digiscoping mount which can be connected to a wide variety of COOLPIX-series compact digital cameras using an FSB-series Digital Camera Bracket is available for the three newly developed models of eyepiece lenses. • Build-in type slide hood. • Lead-and arsenic-free Eco-glass. • A stay-on case is included. • Two screw mounting holes of the main body are provided for stable mounting on a tripod adjustable for use with or without a digiscoping system. • Stylish and compact design. • The current eyepiece lenses for Spotting scope RAIII series are compatible with the new PROSTAFF 5 Fieldscope main body.

These new EDG VR Fieldscope models are the world's first*1 Fieldscopes to incorporate a lens-shift type VR function. The vibration reduction algorithm, based on Nikon's sophisticated VR mechanism used in NIKKOR VR lenses, has been optimised for these scopes. The VR function accurately compensates for external vibrations caused by wind and operations such as focusing, panning and tilting. It makes composition easy by reducing vibrations to approximately 1/8*² of the image blur caused by vibrations during normal observation. This also enhances focusing accuracy even when manual focus is used during super-telephoto digiscoping. The system provides an effect equivalent to a shutter speed approximately two stops*² faster and is especially effective when digiscoping in bad conditions such as windy weather. The EDG VR Fieldscopes also benefit from the use of Nikon's performance-proven Nikon's ED (Extra-low dispersion) glass that assures natural colour reproduction and crisp clarity. Straight models, in addition, feature dielectric high-reflectivity multilayer prism coatings for higher reflection rate and contrast than ever.

Class-leading Fieldscope with extra-large 85 mm objective lens for a bright field-of-view. Nikon's dielectric high-reflective multilayer prism coating, ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass and advanced multilayer lens coating combine to deliver superior light transmission and clear, high-resolution images with superb contrast, even in low-light. Compatible with seven kinds of eyepieces, this versatile Fieldscope boasts a waterproof construction and offers excellent performance in a variety of conditions. Incorporated in a sleekly-designed body it is an ideal choice for those seeking magnificent close-ups of birds and wildlife.
