They were about the same. I couldn't get the diopter to focal as sharp as i would have liked and my eyes were a touch stressed looking threw both pairs. Also, i assume because i bought another pair of binos, my pair of Zen-Ray 8x42 Primes showed up. I hadn't seen them in a year and assumed they were stolen. I checked them against the Nikon 8x30 Monarch 7's and find the M7's just as sharp and have better glare control than my ZR Primes. The primes are a touch better in this department than the Mojave's but only a touch.  .... that is kind of annoying. The ZR's are brighter but i prefer looking threw the M'7s over all.  While the M7's are eye placement sensitive and that can cause some flair around the edge of the view, i get no veiled glare and find that they do quite well into really bad lighting. Both the Prime and Mojave had veiled glare well off what i would consider torture test angles while the M7's had very little at all. Maybe something has changed with the Nikon's as i was expecting much worse going by previous reviews. People should definitely give the M7's another look..Bill</blockquote>
