    Should I stick with M5s

    You're right. I think the M7s are the happy balance. Not the best nor the worst. Right in the middle (sweet spot). Thanks for the feedback. I just have to sell the M5s and selling is not my favorite thing to do. It would have been nice if Nikon just sent me a coupon to buy whatever I like.

    Should I stick with M5s

    I am thinking the same thing. I just got the MHGs and having been doing some neighborhood birding and comparing with M5s. The M5s don't suck. Except for the M5s 6.4 degrees FOV which I got used to with the last Monarchs, I am not seeing 4xs the price difference. I think I have a pretty good...

    Should I stick with M5s

    Yes, I have lived out of the country most of my career. Colombia will be my first near step out then headed for a life between Europe and Asia.

    Should I stick with M5s

    Thank you for all for the constructive feedback. I feel like I have a good plan moving forward. It is a nice adventure to try out all of these wonder full binos, as long as the retailer are accepting of "try outs". Question: Is this more of a Euro centric group in terms of membership or about...

    Should I stick with M5s

    So the plan is I ordered a pair of MHGs off Amazon at retail. I will check'em out vs the M5s and make a decision. If the HGs thrill me I think I can get Amazon to match a price off Ebay. Who knows? But if not I think they are an easy return to Amazon. I used them when trying out some 8x30s and...

    Should I stick with M5s

    Not sure. I sent a 25 year old pair of excellent Monarchs and they sent an M5 I am pretty sure. I will double check

    Should I stick with M5s

    I am thinking to call NIkon and telling them to send me the ones I sent for service and good riddance.

    Should I stick with M5s

    I am kinda hung up on Nikons but I would like to break out into a Euro brand. I will keep a lookout.

    Hello

    Good day! Thanks for accepting me Birdforum. I have always been looking at birds. I think I was a bird before a human. I have great interest in all that flies including airliners. I am still trying to get on an A350. My favorite bird to watch are kingfishers. I love the spiked crest and the big...

    Should I stick with M5s

    Good day! Thanks for accepting me Birdforum. I am a recently retired hobby birder and astronomer looking to go deeper. In September I am moving to Colombia SA where it looks like there are ample ops to expand into birding. Recently, I had an old pair of Nikon Monarchs that took a fall. I sent...
