Worlds Best Binoculars

I really like these binoculars. That sounds a bit simplistic so I’ll go into a bit of detail as to why.

First, they are light, work well with glasses, and are very bright, they also get five stars from me for their excellent value. I bought these binoculars for a kayaking trip on the Colorado, but now I use them in the back yard, on hikes and even at concerts and football games. My brother is a marine biologist and spends alot of time with his binoculars looking for whales, told me to get the most expensive binoculars I could afford. To him binoculars are a professional tool, however, I really couldn’t afford $1000 like he could. She also told me to try out binoculars in dim conditions and to get the 10×42 rather than 8×42 because you can look at objects further away.

I did some comparisons between the Nikon Monarch and a similar spec Leica, which was nice but much heavier. The Leica was probably better, but was definitely not worth three times the price. On my kayaking trip I had opportunities to compare my new binoculars with other people. Most of my friends had brought cheap binoculars fearing that they would get lost or damaged on the river, and as a result I think their wildlife watching experience was severely compromised. The only person who had a similar quality pair of binoculars was an avid bird watcher. They had bought a pair of Nikon compacts which were lower spec’ed that mine but also lower in price. Again, they were excellent binoculars and very light and compact.

The hard rubber-armor construction of the Monarchs is very appealing. They don’t get slippery when wet. They are very rugged but light. I don’t feel as nervous about dropping them as I would be with the more expensive Leica. They also have very handy turn-and slide eyecups which are much better than the older style soft foldable rubber eyecups found on other binoculars.

Like most other products, when you are looking for binoculars, as the price goes up, the quality improves. You need to make sure you have your price range sorted out before you start looking, that way you will not be disappointed.
