Excellent binoculars!!! - Nikon 8x42mm Monarch ATB High Reflective Prism Binoculars

Excellent quality for the price, sharp, bright & clear. First impression as clear as my Zeiss Diascope ,
Its perfect for bird watching and is very bright

Before getting the monarch i brought and tried many others below $200 mark from different vendors but none of them could come close to the monarch. I would say its the best you can get in this price range

I have compared the new di-electric (7294) and the old model with silver coatings (7430). I found the new model gives true colors while the old one had yellowish tint. The di-electric prism coating is excellent for low light situation and for star gazing, in fact i like it more than my 15x70 astronomical binocular for star gazing , the view is more wide ,clear and stable . Even though objective is 42 it gathers good amount of light in low light situation may be has to do with di-electric coatings


The only Cons : Objective cover is attached to the body and gets in way while stargazing , I thought writing of dialectic coating was embossed but it turned out to be a sticker and has fallen off , but these are definitely not a deal breaker for such nice pair of binoculars

Pros: Di-electic coating ,phase coating, Very Good clarity
Cons: Obecjective cover gets on way while stargazing
