    New Nikon Monarch 82ed with 20x-60x & 30x-60x...help me test it for good of all:)

    Just to be clear to anyone that reads this thread later, I tested with the 30-60x wide, my sample of 20x-60x had an outside ring of the image that was pretty unusable. I took this off and never used it again. I did end up returning the Nikon and getting the Swaro 95mm. Im getting married and...

    Jring, Thanks for that, Ill take another look tonight. Since I wont be getting my hands on an "official" resolution chart I figured I could do a comparison with a low tech print out one as long as the scopes were being tested under the same conditions. I printed out an USAF resolution...

    Wow, you arent kidding Henry. I looked up those test charts and they are pretty pricey. As far as the eyestrain, Binastro nailed it. No migraine today and no eyestrain. I will say the eye relief is less than I would want especially at 60x on the 30x-60x. There is a noticable difference between...

    You may have nailed it, I had a migraine kick in all afternoon. Probably was just starting.

    Quick update, my biggest issue right now is some immediate and poweful eyestrain from the wide eyepiece. I had a bit of a headache so hoping thats the issue but ill try again tomorrow. If that stays consisent I will probably have to return it. Ive never looked through an optic that wide either...

    I was actually looking into that. I have a Canon D MK2 that Id like to get hooked up to it. Would I be able to use the DSA -N1 plus a canon adapter? I will also get an adapter for my phone from the company "Phonescope"

    Monarch 82ED, a Perfect Ten

    If its helpful, I just got the 30x-60x and started a thread to do a review. I need a little help with how to do the technical tests though.

    I just received a Nikon Monarch 82ED 20x-60x and the 30x-60x wide. I'd like to test it out for my own understanding and to get some more data points out there for everyone. I'll update this post with the tests as I do them. I havent done this before so feel free to chime in with pointers...
