In the past couple of weeks I have demo'd and done lots of homework to come to a decision on which bioculars I wanted and for what purpose.
I had demo'd the following: Nikon Trailblazer 10x50 nice bino's but could not bond with them.
Leupold cascades 10x42 great bino's, but I just got the feeling that they were not for me. Close very close.
Steiner Merlin these were one nice pair of bino's the look, the feel, very nice. They were not bright enough for me at dawn and dusk. Also the FOV was not for me.
Finally, I setteled on a Nikon Monarch in 8x42. they just seem to be what my eyes prefer. Very bright, FOV good. Dawn and dusk now is lit up like I have never seen with any other bino's. With the money I saved bying this set, I picked up a pir of Nikon Sportsters. They can be my beaters, and for any use when I don't get out the Monarch's. The little sportsters arn't a bad bino for the price and being compact
Most of my bino uses are for the following: Hunting of course, watching the birds and other wildlife in the yard, and for any other thing that I can use them for. I guess you could say for all around. But the Monarch's are great and we have bonded.
