 Nikon Monarch ATB 8x42 Waterproof Binocular October 16, 2008
Just what I expected from Nikon. As a retired professional photographer, I used Nikon equipment for years. I found their products to be very well made and reliable. These glasses for their size are very light, which makes them great for hiking. As a long term investment, in a good binocular, the money is well spent.
 Gret Binocs, But Hold Onto the Eyepiece Cover!!! October 15, 2008
Terrific optics, for the price, and works great with glasses. Only shortfall is the eyepiece cover, which is easy to lose --- which I already have --- even after it is attached, as designed, to the strap.
Nikon Monarch ATB 8x42 October 14, 2008
Impressed with optics for the price. Clear view and easy to use with glasses as noted in other reviews.
Don't leave home without them! September 26, 2008
I bought these to use on our African safari after reading many positive reviews. I noticed that our Safari Guide also used the Monarch ATBs - and no wonder - these binoculars are fantastic! You really noticed the difference in low-light conditions (dawn and dusk) and with these we were really able to spot all of the wildlife- from elephants to birds. We even put my camera up against the lenses and were able to use the binocs as a kind of passable "zoom" lens for photographs. Buy them - they are worth every cent!
Nikon Binoculars Made In China September 19, 2008
I bought these binoculars based upon reviews I had seen by people who use binoculars in a serious way. The optics seem to be extremely good - clear, bright views that far exceed my old binoculars. However, I was dismayed to see that, stamped on the frame, was "Made In China". I mean, when you spend this kind of money to buy a Nikon product, you would expect it to be made in Japan. Hopefully their quality control is such that it won't make any difference but it may take years to know. The good news is, I understand that these binoculars have a fantastic warranty where Nikon will repair or replace them for almost any reason for 25 years.
