Just popped onto the Allbinos page and see that they posted their review of the Nikon Monarch 7 8x30. I haven't read it yet so will reserve further comments.

Apart from reservations about build quality, specifically the rubber armour, it's a very positive review

I tend to agree. Other than their usual truncated exit pupil concern and less than average edge performance it didn't seen to fair too poorly. On that note I did order one from B and H. Should have it tomorrow.

....on another note, did anybody catch what the country of origin was. I think I missed it in the review.

China is a very big country, so production in China does not tell us a lot. I know for sure that the M7 sister, the Kite Lynx HD is made by Kamakura. However Kamakura does have construction factories in Japan and in China...

The review says in 3 places that they are "produced" in China. That is a synonym for "made" AFAIK but it may have different connotations when used in translation to English from Polish?

I saw the references. I just found it unusual as I don't remember something of that nature being mentioned as often in other reviews of theirs. Maybe I need to go back and reread a few.

When I asked the Nikon people about this, I was told the 8x30 is made in China.
