Reviews & Ratings for Nikon ATB 10X42 Monarch Binoculars 7432 — 15 reviews — Page 1

Very good binocs for the price. No need to spend more for a Steiner or Savorski.
Pros: Great clarity even in haze, lightweight, good eyecups.
Cons: Front lens covers do not stay on, need to fit better.

As a photographer, I am well aware of what great optics Nikon produces with cameras. Their brightness in dim light is superior to all.
I was looking for a great all around binocular for backpacking, bird watching, and star gazing. This requires them to be lightweight, largest possible magnification, and heavy duty enough to withstand rugged terrain and temperature extremes.
You get all that and more from these binos and you just can't beat the price! Sure, you can spend $800 or more for a pair of Leika or Swarovski's but why?! These binoculars can do it all for a fraction of the price. They are easy to use with comfortable focus adjustment and light enough to hold steady on a flock of migratory birds. The waterproof and fog resistance are essential if you are in the back country or a cold pond on a winters day.
I have used these in high temperatures in Africa and below freezing weather in Russia. They have withstood the test of heavy use. I suggest if you are a birdwatcher and have smaller hands, that you consider the 8X42 instead of the 10X42. This will steady your binos better (because they are slightly lighter in weight) and still magnify well.
I own a pair of Bushnell Trophy"s that I also love and they are less than half the price but they are not waterproof/shock proof/fog proof. If these are not a concern, then those are great as well with equal performance in fair weather.
Pros: Great optics, rugged, waterproof/for resistant/shock proof
Cons: None

I love these binos very clear.low light is good but right on dark my Leupold VX11 3-9x40 rifle scope set on 9 power was better by 5 mins.

The rear lens covers are on the strap but fell off after the first two hours hunting and lost them and I ticked the box on my order for a "free Nikon lens pen" but was not supplied with my order.
Pros: very Sharp right to the edge,Great low light and water proof
Cons: Rear lens cover

Good value for the money
Pros: Good value for money
Cons: Front lens covers could be easier to use.

meets the purpose of closeup viewing as companion glasses for Leica 7 and 8 mag at a very good price.
compares favourably with Leica at other ranges in African Game and Bird viewing
Pros: Price?quality
Cons: On the larger side

Best pair of binoculars I have owned
Pros: Excellent value

You will need to pay a lot more for any significant improvement in optical quality. These binoculars are really in a class by themselves when considering price-quality for my hunting and casual bird watching. They are compact and light weight(roof prisms)and out of the way for active hunting and transport. I consider these mandatory minimm entry level for any serious user of binoculars.
Pros: Superior optical quality, brightness, and sharp images.
Cons: Eyepiece covers are basically useless and don't fit properly,

Great all-purpose binoculars that are easy to use and tough enough that I don't worry about the kids using them.
Pros: Clarity, toughness, not too big
Cons: none

so far so goor
Pros: for the money excellent
Cons: for the money none

These are the best for birdwatching and hiking. They are easy to carry, the image is clear, the colors are rich and focusing is smooth.
Pros: Compact, Strong Construction, Works Well With Glasses
