Being an avid outdoorsman, quality gear is a must. As an outdoor photographer for 30 yrs , Nikon has been the leader in technology from the start for me. These are great binoculars for the price and out perform other brands costing twice as much.

The binoculars are great. Ive already used them for roof inspections in my home inspection business and they work really well. The only criticism I have is the lens caps are cheaply made and the eyepiece lens caps fit loosely and fall off. Ive seen this same comment on other reviews.

Silky smooth focus and inter-pupillary distance adjustment!<br />Instant image convergence = no headaches!<br />Love the eye-cups - I can put my eyelids inside the cups excluding all external light and reducing vignetting to zero - without my eyelashes brushing the lenses.

I have had Nikon binoculars for over 50 years. Currently my wife and I use the Monarch 5 for our trips to Africa and for birding everywhere. The new Prostaff series 8x42 is quite good and for 1/3 the price of the Monarch 5. I bought this for my brother in law and tried them.

Bought these for my vehicle but, use them in the boat and hunting. They are crystal clear and easy to focus. Anybody looking for a pair of binoculars, I would highly recommend these.

These are light weight, not bulky, and easy to use. I wear glasses and found the collapsing eye cups very convenient. The optics are superb, just what one would expect from Nikon. The rubberized housing makes for a sure grip and protection when carried outside the case.

Bought these for hunting. Excellent value, great image quality. Need some horned eyecups as would really help viewing experience. The only weak point is the lens covers as they are cheap and nasty. Would rather pay a little extra for good caps.

Having been cornered into spending less than for a Monarch, I doubted these would be exactly awe-inspiring, but much to my surprise with the initial glance from box to window I was taken aback by the brightness and clarity of the view.

These are the best optics I ever used!!.. Would recommend these to all my friends and family...

I wanted a good pair of inexpensive binoculars to keep handy for backyard birding, thus far these fit the bill. They are very clear, even in low light, and are super lightweight. Thinking of adding a 2nd pair.
