Why Buy Nikon Monarch Binoculars
Written by John Francis on July 25th, 2008My pair of Nikon monarch binoculars were bought for me about four months ago by my wife, and straightaway I fell in love with them. I wanted a good pair to use for birdwatching. I’ve spent quite a bit of time researching different models to make sure my wife bought me the ones I really wanted. These binoculars have a really nice feel, they weighed only 699 g, and are extremely well-balanced. I’ve dropped them several times without damaging them.
Not long after I got them I took them with me for a Safari to Kenya, Africa. The first time I used them was in the evening - I was standing on a small hill looking into a valley with the sun going down. Without the binoculars I couldn’t see the small villages or the people, however, when I looked through the Monarch’s I could see all the mud houses in the villages and even make out the faces on the people. The optic quality of the Nikon Monarch Binoculars is really good.
My father-in-law, also an avid birdwatcher, thinks these are the best binoculars you can use. He has invited me along on almost all of his trips ever since I got them. The quality of these binoculars is fantastic for the small price you pay. If you want to the top class pair of Nikon binoculars you could easily expect to pay over $2000, but you would be heartbroken if you lost or damaged them. I would not lose any sleep if I lost my new Nikon monarchs as they are affordably replaceable.
You should keep in mind that technology is moving extremely fast, and the 2000 optics now will be down to $500 within a couple of years
I had the opportunity to use my Nikon monarch binoculars to look at a lunar eclipse last month, they gave me an excellent view of the moon in shadow. A group of friends got together to enjoy the occasion, between us we had three different pairs of binoculars, but my Nikon’s were by far the best! Unfortunately for me this meant I had to share them all night.
There are several options that are standard on the Monarch binoculars such as being totally waterproof and also having fog prevention on the lenses. These qualities will give you the best piece of equipment possible. These particular binoculars will give you an extended eye relief option that will help you to reduce the amount of strain on the eyes and this is essential for those who intend on using them for a long time, or for those who need to wear a pair of glasses while using them.
I have to finish by saying that I don’t anticipate ever switching to another model of binoculars. These have passed my tests, again and again, with flying colors. Highly recommended
