I like the light weight and the ease of focusing on an object, especially using it for bird watching where you have to focus quick or miss the action.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 8 x 42 Monarch Dielectric ATB Binocular, Black, U.S.A:

Objective lens covers are designed to unsnap and hang down and out of the way of their own weight. They do this quite well, but when I attempted to pivot them to the side I learned that they were not intended to be used this way and attachment to the binocular body was damaged. [...] Nikon sent a replacement lens cover in days. I am very happy with both the quality of the glass and the service from Nikon [...]. I use these binoculars mostly for wildlife viewing from a kayak and I only wish I had purchased them long before.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 8 x 42 Monarch Dielectric ATB Binocular, Black, U.S.A:

I ordered the 2009 ATB but received the 2010! I did compare these to $1700 Swarovski EL 42's (10x42) from Academy Sports. The Swarovski's were top notch and served as a bench mark for the Monarch for the 20 minutes I used them in the indoor "hunting grounds"You will not be disappointed in either set particularly in how close a [$] pair of binos comes to the big dogs.The front one piece protector cap will be replaced but the Monarchs will do just fine out in the field.
