Nikons - where would they rank? (1 Viewer)

The EDG II is Nikon's CURRENT alpha quality binocular. In many ways it's one of my favorite binoculars. Optically it's still among the best. Focus adjustment is
second to none.

I have to agree I love the focus on the 8x42 EDG II. I even like it even on the Monarch 7 10x30. Unfortunately they point out that the focus on my Swarovski EL 10x32 SV is lacking and it keeps me from being 100% satisfied with them.
Although the OP was poorly worded and scoped, if I had to choose a binocular sight unseen, never tested, I would go with a Nikon. I've been more consistently impressed by Nikon than any other manufacturer when using models across their entire price range. I would also buy any Canon L series sight unseen.

Yes, I did mean a replacement for the EDG II as it's been around for quite a while and doesn't seem to get the same attention as the 'top three' brands.
