Hello all,
I have had my new Nikon 10x42 Monarch ATB Binoculars now for 2 weeks. It
was a toss up between the 10x and 8x but I decided upon the 10s as there
was no weight difference between the two. They are of course waterproof,
fogproof and shockproof in addition to weighing some 600 grams.
I bought them over the net from a store in NY. The exchange rate was great
and all up including freight it cost me less than AU$400. They arrived via
courier in a very short time (<5 working days). I did have to scan and
email a copy of my credit card to the store when purchasing them but apart
from that it was all fine.
The optics are amazing. But then I have only ever owned mostly Nikon
(Action 7x35, 10x50 etc) binos so can't compare them to the more expensive
brands. This model still has a lifetime no fault warranty in addition to a
limited 25 year warranty.
The end lens caps are now attached to the binos which is useful, but if
they annoy you you can take them off completely or re-attach them. This
model still has the turning eye thingies for people with glasses for eye
relief which some owners of this model have complained about in the past. I
hope mine don't break or come undone in the future or maybe they have fixed
the problem.
All up I am very pleased with them.
Cheers
