Just thought I would report back on how I am faring with the Nikon Monarchs. In short, they are fabulous, and I am very happy.
I have been out birding about 10 times now, as well as spending much time in the backyard observing more common varieties. I have accumulated about 40 species of bird so far, and am always thinking about where I might go birding next.
The binos are incredibly comfortable to use - light, intuitive, they snap into focus, the eye relief is perfectly comfortable with glasses on, and the views are exceptional.
I have become rather adept at picking up birds in flight, and following their path through the sky. It is incredible once you know what to look for, just how much detail you can see even as the bird is moving through the sky.
I find it hard to imagine ever wanting anything more than what I have. The Nikon Monarch 5, 8x42 are superb for bird watching.
I have been so impressed that I bought a second pair as a farewell gift to one of our staff who recently retired. He also reports being absolutely delighted with them.
