I have decided to purchase the nikon monarch in the 8x42's
It seems most of them for sale online are ATB models,
I just looked at the monarch DCF where I live...
Is it the same as the ATB..?? or Newer???
Any comments on this???

Agree with John.
I bought from a website with description of ATB and the box said DCF.
I suppose outlets should describe them as Nikon Monarch DCF, All Terrain Bins? to reduce confusion.
