Nikon Monarch M7 10x42 vs. Meopta MeoPro Air 10x42 (1 Viewer)

[spotthebirds]

Hello everyone,
I'm in the process of buying binoculars. Currently I am in between the Nikon Monarch M7 10x42 and the Meopta MeoPro Air 10x42. However, I could not find many differences from the parameters. The Monarch M7 seems to be a little bit lighter, which feels like a benefit. If anyone has any experience with them, any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!

Is there some way you can go somewhere and look through one of each, and perhaps some others?

Parameters are a long way from the whole story.

I haven't tried the meopta but I'm a big fan of the nikon monarch 7, I've had one for 6 years and I'm delighted with them, light weight, nice focuser, good resolution and CA control in the centre of the image and a very nice field of view, if the new M7 model is as good as the old model I would go for them.
On paper there are important differences between these two models meopta (830g) nikon (680g) field of view: meopta (110mt/1000) nikon (121m/1000), and the nikon is also cheaper.
I recommend you to try them and see if you feel comfortable with them before buying any binoculars.

Thank you for pointing out the differences.
I did try out the Nikon m7 which I really liked and also some other binoculars. I did not try out the Meopta because I don´t have really the option to, but the Nikon feels like the right option.
