  • Great quality optics for astronomy and terrestrial use
Style: 10x42
I've never owned a pair of binoculars before. I wanted something light that I could keep in the car for spontaneous viewing and that I could use for stargazing when I don't feel like lugging out all my telescope gear. I also wanted something high quality that I could use for years to come. These work well for that. The build quality is excellent. The eye relief is good - I use these with my glasses on and the eye cups dialed in. It makes it easy to hand the binoculars to my non-visually challenged friends so they can look at what I'm pointing out... I just have to remind them to twist the eye cups out real fast. The optical quality is excellent. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert here. To me, things look great with some minor exceptions. First off, for the most part, if I'm looking at something terrestrial, like my friend's dog, the quality is stunning. It's like I'm staring at a high definition crisp image of the dog (who's the good girl? Daisy's the good girl!). If I'm looking at something terrestrial like a wall that's not too far off, and the sun is bright, and I'm at the correct angle, there is some chromatic aberration (a slight purple fringing). The solution is pretty easy - just shift your angle a tiny bit and it's gone. I did read up a bit on this phenomenon and it appears to be expected unless you're willing to spend 2x+ $ or you're willing to settle for heavier binoculars. For astronomy, they're great! Again, keep in mind that I wanted portable, so weight is a factor. Some of the astronomy binoculars out there are as heavy as a small apochromatic refractor telescope. A 42mm aperture resulted in the right balance between light gathering and weight for my purposes. There's some debate around preferences for 8x42 vs 10x42. I initially regretted getting the 10x42 because it is difficult to hold these steady enough that the stars aren't shaking all over the place. A cheap Amazon Basic's monopod with a third-party adapter fixed that problem for cheap. For me, mission accomplished. I got high quality binoculars that are light, a pleasure to look through, durable, and likely to be near by when I'm on the move so I can use them when I need them. Like a camera, the best binoculars you have are the ones you have on you. ... show more

  • Crystal Clear Optics – Perfect for Western Big Game Hunting
Style: 10x42
I used these Nikon MONARCH M7 10x42 binoculars on an elk hunt in Washington’s Olympic Peninsula this fall, and they were outstanding. The glass is incredibly sharp, with edge-to-edge clarity and a wide field of view that made spotting elk through thick timber much easier. They’re lightweight yet rugged, and I carried them all day without fatigue. The rubber armor grip held up in the rain, and the waterproof/fog-proof design came in clutch during foggy mornings and wet brush. Low-light performance at dawn and dusk was impressive—I glassed elk clearly before and after shooting light. The focus wheel is smooth, and eye relief was perfect even with sunglasses. If you're hunting elk, deer, or just hiking in serious conditions, these are absolutely worth the investment. Nikon nailed it with the M7s. ... show more

  • great viewing quality, question on lens separation
Style: 10x42
Love the view from these binoculars, the details are spectacular. The only concern I have is that I'm uncomfortable with the separation of the lenses for me to get a "full" view through the lenses. If the lenses are not separated to the correct distance the user does not get a "full" view through the eyepieces - this is a custom adjustment that is different for everyone. In my case I have to fully separate the lenses to get the fullest view through the eyepieces - and I am fully adjusted to the stops on the binoculars. I'm not that large of a fellow, so, wonder how well the binoculars do for folks that have eyes that are spaced further apart than mine. ... show more

  • Exceptional binoculars as compared to one’s five times as expensive
Style: 10x42
I definitely did too much research on binoculars before our trip to the Amazon and prior to going to Africa. We wanted a pair, a very nice binoculars and found a lot of reviews. These were at the low end of the high end binoculars, and are generally speaking, as much as anyone would ever need. We compared them with another very expensive brand with a friend we met in our travel group in the Amazon. Neither of us were super experienced birders, and saying that, neither of us could tell any difference whatsoever in the binoculars. I know there are differences, and they are well laid out in a tremendous amount of very technical reviews, but if you are looking for an exceptional pair of binoculars at a very good price, these certainly cannot be beat unless you want to Simply spend more to have a more expensive pair. Not to say that more expensive binoculars are not exceptional as well, but spending close to $3000 for a pair that does basically the same thing to the naked eye, of course, to an untrained person, these are an exceptional purchase, and I would highly recommend them. ... show more
