Nikon Monarch ATB 8x42

 

The Nikon Monarch ATB 8x42 is a great pair of binoculars but it could use a few more upgrades. They added dielectric coating to the prisms when they brought out these new Monarchs but they still could use coatings on all the lens-to-air surfaces. Add...

They have dielectric coating on the prisms

The field of view is the lowest out of the binoculars that we reviewed

A great product but aren't filled out enough with features to rank better.

I get the reviewers' comments about the great glasses but the lack of heft gave caution; mine, no internal fogging; but, I've not been in inclement weather or even in cold. I hate the lens covers for both the lenses. Also, since Nikon came out with a...

Excellent value.

 

Excellent value.

I wanted the lightest pair of 8x42 binocs and found these. I've used these along with my Leica Duovids and cannot see a $1,800 difference. An excellent bright image. Great value.

Poor quality

 

Poor quality

Total disapointment! Had these same binos that I purchased a year or so earlier. I guess Nikon changed the way these binos are manufactured because the new ones don't come close to the quality of the old ones. Super Bummed!

Great choice for me

I can't use technical binocular terms here but I do know what I like. I had a pair of Nikon lightweights that my wife had bought me about 20 or so years ago and the optics were super so I must admit prejudice for Nikon. I wanted something more powerful...

for the birds

I needed a new pair of binoculars. Until now, I've used a more portable pair. I'd always thought the optics were fine. But, the first time I took these out, the difference was obvious. The clarity, sharpness and depth of field are all excellent. ...

Clear picture at an affordable price.

 

Clear picture at an affordable price.

Save thousands and go for Japanese products instead of Austrian/German products, the quality difference is very small.
