One of the advantages of a full-size binocular is that the objective lens is larger. It lets in more light, increases the viewing field, offering you a better perspective. The Nikon Monarch ATB 8x42 binoculars offer rugged construction for waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof performance and have a 42mm objective for bright views. 8 times magnification brings objects virually 8-times closer than your naked eye can see. The Monarch is designed for outdoor use, whether birding, hiking, camping, biking, or virtually anything outdoors. Fully insulated, the Monarch reigns supreme in being able to deliver outstanding performance whether you're in wet or dry conditions, hot or cold. It's completely waterproof and fogproof. Of course, it is made by Nikon and that means top optical integrity. This model employs Eco-Glass, an environmentally friendly material made without the use of arsenic or lead. Every lens surface is multicoated with anti-reflective compounds to maximize light transmission for bright, color-correct images. Eyeglass wearers will be able to use these because they have a long eye relief and twistable rubber eye cups that offers ideal viewing with glasses or without. Nikon stands firmly on the quality of these binoculars. They include a Nikon USA 25-Year Limited Warranty for your long-term assurance. For your active, rugged, outdoor lifestyle, the Monarch is a top performer. You deserve the best. Centered manual focus ring is extremely easy and convenient even in the most hostile environments A minimum focus range of 8.2 feet offers clarity and detail from near and far Non-slip rubberized exterior provides a comfortable and secure grip 360 Foot field of viw at 1,000 yards Unit Dimensions - 5 W x 5-3/4 D / Weight - 21.3 ounces

Summary: Excellent product
Comment: I already have a 5 yr old monarch and I love it. This new one has a new lense covering that can be kept on or off but the lines are the same as the 5 yr old model. I love this binocular because when you lift it to you head it's almost like a light is on in the binocular. The clarity is great and field of view is wonderful on the 8X42. I love it for birding and any other extracurricular activity!

Summary: Fantastic midprice binocular
Comment: I started looking at the Monarch when I was originally shopping for a quality binocular to assist me when doing bird photography. I bought a Leica Ultravid 10x42 at that time. I later bought the 8x42 Monarch to use whale canoeing and for knocking around, and they are very impressive for the price.
The image quality is excellent edge to edge (not exceptional like the far more expensive models, but truely excellent). They are very light weight and well made. They are easy to adjust (I need slight diopter adjustment for my eyes and can quickly reset them when sharing them with other people). The eye cups are easy to adjust and also easy to remove and clean (like when they get full of peanut skins and shells at a baseball game).
I normally keep these in my car and they come in very handy.
If you are looking at less expensive models, seriously consider spending a little more for the Monarchs. Ifyou are looking at more expensive models, these are worth considering also. They pack a lot of optical quality and most of the build quality of the top models into these for a very attractive price.

Summary: You get what you pay for
Comment: These binoculars are probably at the sweet spot price quality wise. For the money you probably won't find a better pair of binocs. And if you pay more the quality won't be that much better for the extra cash. These things are NICE!
What really impressed me was my son's reaction. He's in his twenties, been in the Army, traveled the world, and is very perceptive and sensitive to quality. That said, he's quick to criticize some of my suggestions/purchases. So he was visiting, sitting out in the back yard one morning, and I handed him the Nikons. He views a bird in a tree and says, "These are really nice!"
My bottom line: if you can afford them, buy 'em.

Summary: Bright and sharp
Comment: These binoculars deliver very good performance for the price. Their size and weight are easy to hold and carry. The eye cups provide progressive, effective relief. Objective and eyepiece covers are funky, but work well when installed. The image is bright and well-aligned. Focus is very good, but suffers from a bit of spherical aberration across the field of vision. All together, the binoculars work well and are a pleasure to use.

Summary: Incredible optics!
Comment: The optics are exactly what you would expect from Nikon. The image is exceptionally sharp. They are also very lightweight and easy to focus. A great value for the money! I would highly recommend them.
