Nikon 7430 Monarch 8 X 42mm All Terrain Binoculars

I just love these. These binoculars are really easy to use with eyeglasses. Also the focus easily and are light and easy to handle. I use them for my new hobby, birdwatching... oh, sorry birding!
Yeah, what others have said about the lens covers is true.

Our new Nikon Monarch binoculars exceeded our high expectations. Images are crisp and easily focussed. Using them is like getting a new eyeglass prescription.

The binocuar box was simply placed in a larger box by Amazon with no packaging material or protection. The binoculars appear damaged from the USPS throwing the box around during shipment based on the condition of the shipping box. I'm unable to view thru both lenses of the binocular without getting a black encrochment. I attempted to provide feedback to Amazon thru their webpages but was unable to do so.

These are great all-around binoculars, offering superb performance and sturdiness for the money. Only higher-end glasses like the Zeiss Victory, or the Leica Trinovid (which I also own) outperform the Monarch - for almost 10 times the money.

Am just an amateur birder but wanted to upgrade my binoculars. After reading many reviews decided on these. The first glimpse through the lens confirmed the very positive remarks about quality and clarity. I compare them to High Definiton TV while my other glasses were like a TV with an antenna. I have taken these glasses into the field and have been very happy with the results.
