    Frank, you have described briefly your experience with the Nikon Monarch-HG at the recent show in the thread on that event. Despite the flattened outer field not being sharp, are there charactersitics in regard to which you prefer the Monarch-HG over the Questa (other than size and weight...

    Okay then :-) Thanks Frank. Actually, I felt (which is why I included that word above) that on occasion with a McKinley (which is why I asked for that comparison). Really, I think, I was looking hard for problems, having been "educated beyond my station" in optics by this forum. The McKinley...

    Frank, You say (back in post #58): "I continued to be impressed with this new binocular...Truly a beautiful, natural image greets your eyes every time you look through it." But you acknowledge (throughout the thread) the "warm tone" or "warm bias" in the image. Have you ever noted or felt that...

    Frank suggests (in post #166) differing perception among users as the reason why some find the Questa not sharp enough. Mooreorless above (in post #152) finds with an objective test (non-subjective, not to do with front lenses!) that the Nikon SE 8x32 is sharper than the Questa 8x42. Thus I...

    Thanks Frank, for a patient and thorough reply as usual--and that was hardly a delay! Above, we have: "...the closest thing to the $2000 field flattened binoculars at a price affordable to most...I haven't found any other model that offers all of the optical performance characteristics...for...

    Frank, my 2nd question should have been - What are its plus points compared with the Zen-Ray Prime and with the Leupold McKinley? Thanks.

    Frank, some questions, please. - Others, at least two in this thread, found it not sharp enough. I know your visual acuity is very good. What do you think is the explanation? - Briefly, how does it compare with the Zen-Ray Prime and with the Leupold McKinley? - Dim light performance, compared...
