    NIKON introduces new Monarch HG 8x30 and 10x30 Binoculars

    Perhaps you could trade it in for a 8X42 MHG, could help with the eye placement, and it is a small and light for a 8X42. The eye-cups however, on the MHGs, may not be for everyone. Andy W.

    NIKON introduces new Monarch HG 8x30 and 10x30 Binoculars

    The M7 has decent optics, I said the build quality is sub-par. What I should of said is that the KF Fuji is better built. Andy W.

    NIKON introduces new Monarch HG 8x30 and 10x30 Binoculars

    Well the armor on the MHG likely will not fall off or peel, the eyepieces will not fallout, IMHO the M7 is the cheapest build quality Nikon has made with decent optics, the build construction is well below sub-par. I will take the Fuji KF 8X32 wayyyyy before I ever look at another M7 8X30 from...

    NIKON introduces new Monarch HG 8x30 and 10x30 Binoculars

    I would be surprised if it is anything that different than the 8X42 except smaller. Use the money and get a slightly used premium glass. Additionally if it is similar to the 8X42, it won't compare with the archived EDG 8X32 IMO. Andy W.

    NIKON introduces new Monarch HG 8x30 and 10x30 Binoculars

    I have a Leica UV 8X42 HD and although it has a bit less FOV than the HG Nikon 8X42, I don't have any problem missing something afield. We are not talking large differences between the CL and the HG 8X30 with respect to field of view at all, minuscule IMHO. Andy W.

    NIKON introduces new Monarch HG 8x30 and 10x30 Binoculars

    Fov :t: All three of those are great glass, and are used by other outdoor enthusiasts (besides birders) who appreciate a well built glass, that are constructed to the highest standard and are not fragile. The Nikon HG is a tough glass also and built better than the one costing over 2 grand...

    NIKON introduces new Monarch HG 8x30 and 10x30 Binoculars

    I wonder if Nikon will introduce a premium glass this year, something along the lines of the archived EDG line. Andy W.
