    Nikon Monarch 5 8x42 vs Vortex Diamondback HD 8x42

    I’ve now decided after ordering several 8x32 models I need to go with 8x42’s. I now have the Nikon Monarch 5 8x42 along with the Diamondbacks HD 8x42. I’ve got them both for 14 days before I make a decision which one is right for me. There’s really not much in them as far as I can see, I don’t...

    Nikon Prostaff 7s 8x30 vs Hawke Endurance ED 8x32 vs Viking Merlin Ed 8x32

    I’m looking for lightweight 8x30/32 binoculars, the criteria for such are obviously good optics with phase coatings at least but must be sub 500g if possible, the latter two of my options come in above 500g. Due to lockdown it’s a struggle viewing all of these. I did order both the Momarch 5...

    Nikon Monarch 5 8x42 vs Opticron Natura ED 8x42

    I know it’s another comparison thread for someone who can’t make their mind up. 😁 I’ve already got the Nikon’s and have them for another 20 days before I have to return them. I also had a pair of Zeiss Terra 8x32 up until yesterday to compare side by side but compared to the M5 they weren’t as...

    Endurance ED Quality Issues

    I purchased a pair of 8X32 Endurance ED last week and they arrived on Saturday. First impressions showed the optics were very sharp and colours looked very natural with no obvious signs of biases towards other colours, not being a optics expert but to me I could see no colour fringing though...

    Cheap Bins

    I'm looking for some new bins either Porro or Roof under £100. I've got my eye ( pardon the pun ) on the Hawke Nature View 8x42 or 32', the Hawke Endurance PC in the same, the Opticron Savanna 8x30 and finally the Nikon 7x35 ex. Basically I want something that's a bit of an all rounder that can...

    Faulty Vortex Fury 10x32

    I purchased some Fury's last April but have rarely got round to using then due to being incapacitated awaiting a knee replacement. Anyway today I took them out on a short ( very ) walk and noticed that where the casing meets the central focusing wheel the rubber armour appears to be split on the...

    Vortex Diamondback or Vortex Fury?

    Right back to the drawing board after my Hawke Frontiers were deemed faulty, I've narrowed my search ( again ) to either the Diamondback 8x42, or the Fury 10x32. Now the Diamond back looks appealing and seems to have very good reviews, but one thing that worries me is the weight. That leaves the...

    Hawke Frontier 10x32 PC v Frontier 8x32 PC

    I've recently ordered and received a pair of Hawke Frontier 10x32 PC, as of yet I haven't taken them outside to field test. I've played around with them indoors, trying to compare with my old Bresser Safari 8x32. They do seem brighter and a little sharper, but before my 7 days before I can...

    Which One?

    Hi, I'm trying to decide which compact binoculars would best suit my needs, I've narrowed my search down to either the Steiner Safari 10x26 ( not the pro version ) or the Bresser Safari 8x25. These will be used for hillwalking hence why I need a compact pair. Now I've read reviews of the...
