    Monarch M7 8x42 problem

    A final and conclusive update on the issue. I confirm that the strange effect was due to the wrong ipd setting together with the sub-optimal position of the eyecups: with some difficulty, being a smaller binocular, but I was able to generate the same effect when observing with the vortex 8x32...

    Monarch M7 8x42 problem

    Thank you, good to know. Now, since I saw that with the new ipd setting the distance between my eye and the lens has increased, I tried lowering the eyecups by one position so I can gently rest them on my eyebrows without having to press them hard to get the right eye relief and it helps. I will...

    Monarch M7 8x42 problem

    In fact I feel that in terms of eyepiece size the M7s are my limit, I dare not imagine how uncomfortable larger binoculars can seem to me. Perhaps I am more one for compact or, at most, mid-size binoculars. I'll try using it for a while with this new ipd setting, see if I get used to it or not...

    Monarch M7 8x42 problem

    It also happens with flowers at greater distances, even at 20-30m. Anyway, thanks for the explanation. The problem is certainly related to the ipd setting. The sad thing is that with the corrected ipd the binoculars fit poorly on my face due to the eyepieces being too large. The edge of the...

    Monarch M7 8x42 problem

    Doing some tests, it seems to be related to the ipd. By reducing it, the problem seems to reduce until it disappears.

    Monarch M7 8x42 problem

    Thanks for your help. In your opinion is it worth sending it to Nikon service or is it more likely to be an inherent defect in the M7 that you have to live with? Can any other M7 owners tell me if they notice the same defect?

    Monarch M7 8x42 problem

    So if this is the case, is the reason why through vortex binoculars the problem does not occur because the lenses are less flat?

    Monarch M7 8x42 problem

    Thank you. I have tried, but unfortunately it does not seem to resolve. Or rather, with the diopter in certain positions the problem seems to disappear or almost disappear, but the overall definition becomes very bad.

    Monarch M7 8x42 problem

    Hello everyone, since January I have owned a monarch m7 8x42 with which I have so far been very happy in all respects. However, I have recently encountered a problem, perhaps already present and simply not noticed. The binoculars are very sharp and don't give me any problems when observing...
