Could someone advise me on the above binoculars. My local optics dealer has this model marked down. I can get them for half the price of the Nikon Monarchs 8x42's which he also has in stock.
Has anyone used them long term ? and could they advise me on there optical and build qualities.
On very brief day time look viewing they appeared reasonably bright and contrasty with no major aberrations or distortions noticed but this was a quick look only. I enjoyed the 7.5 degree F.O.V. The twist eye cups were firm. I notice on the specs however they are 'Multi Coated' not F.M.C. They are phase coated. The dealer had some higher grade Leupold Olympics for about the same price as the Monarchs.
Any advice would be appreciated - good buy ? - or not ?
Thanks
