Katy's Review of Nikon Monarch 7 8x42mm Binoculars
I debated (after much research) whether to purchase the Monarch7 8x42 or the Vortex Viper 8x42. Unable to try them (thank you COVID-19), I took the plunge and ordered the Monarch7. My son has a pair of Vortex he uses for hunting and they are also good. But, I like the feel of the Monarchs and the brightness. Many reviews of the Monarchs say the objective lens cover doesn't fit, but mine fit snugly. The eyepiece lens cover fits loosely, but is attached to the strap. I wouldn't want that cover to fit snug. It swings off when I lift the binoculars up to my eyes. So, all is great! I went with the 8x versus the 10x because of the larger FOV and to reduce shake.
Pros:
- Bright & clear
- focus wheel feels great
Cons:
- None
Best Used for:
- Birding
- Planet viewing
Would Recommend:
Yes
