Rated 5 out of 5

Superb!!

Superb optically and mechanically. The field is flat from edge to edge with super color correction. I had no problems with glare or blackouts and these are very comfortable to use. Far superior to the M7 model!!

Very nice indeed. Hold up well against stiff, higher-priced competition.

I bought HG 8X30 chiefly for the lighter weight of the smaller lenses than those of my Swarovski EL 8.5X42. The Nikon is very comfortable to use, and can be held steady using only one hand. The Nikon has about 95% of the optical performance of the Swarovski for roughly half the price. Differences in rectilinear distortion and center-to-edge sharpness falloff (both are equally sharp in the center, to my eyes) are subtle, with the Swarovski better but not by much. You can see those differences if you deliberately hunt for them, but in normal use they are not really noticeable. The only place where the Nikon obviously slips is in losing more contrast when aiming into very bright light (i.e. cases such as aiming near the Sun or at a reflective water surface on a bright day). The Nikon wins on width of field of view (a slightly unfair comparison since the Swarovski has a bit higher magnification). The only disappointment was the case it came in: no way to slide it onto a belt, which is how I like to carry binoculars (pulling them out of the case when needed and not hanging them around the neck all the time).

No better than the M7's at twice the price!

These are no better than the 8x30 Nikon M7's or Maven B.3's which are half their price . The eye cups are too short for the eye relief creating blackouts. I returned my quickly. No way are they worth $950.00.

If you're seeking unparalleled clarity and precision in a compact form, the 8x30 Monarch HG Waterproof Roof Prism Binocular is your quintessential companion for any outdoor adventure. This high-quality optical marvel continues the legacy of its 42mm predecessors, offering top-tier optical performance and unmatched durability, all while being exceptionally user-friendly.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Monarch HG 30mm series is engineered to uphold the high performance standards set by the original 8x42 and 10x42 models. However, it achieves this in a more portable package, shedding nearly 8 ounces in weight for enhanced agility and ease of use.

At the heart of the Monarch HG's superior viewing experience lies its ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass, which significantly reduces chromatic aberration, providing images of remarkable clarity and contrast. Coupled with a premium multilayer coating applied to all lenses and prisms, this binocular delivers exceptionally bright, high-resolution visuals.

The innovative Field Flattener Lens System is a standout feature, ensuring a sharp, clear view right to the periphery. This system harmonizes with the Monarch HG 30mm's extraordinarily wide field of view - 8.3 degrees in the 8x30 model - to match the expansive FOV of its larger 42mm siblings, making it perfect for birdwatching and other outdoor pursuits where a broad vista is paramount.

Designed for the discerning outdoor enthusiast, the 8x30 Monarch HG is constructed with a magnesium alloy body, offering an optimal balance of strength and weight reduction. The slim, ergonomic profile is complemented by rubberized panels, ensuring a secure grip even in the most challenging conditions.

Durability is a cornerstone of the Monarch HG design. All objective and eyepiece lenses boast scratch-resistant coatings, while the internal optics are safeguarded against fogging with an impressive waterproof rating. This ensures fog-proof performance even at altitudes up to 16,000 feet, making it a reliable choice for extreme environments.

For a personalized viewing experience, the Monarch HG features a locking diopter adjustment ring. This intuitive mechanism allows you to fine-tune your viewing settings with ease and then lock them into place, ensuring consistent optical quality throughout your observations.

In summary, the 8x30 Monarch HG Waterproof Roof Prism Binocular is a durable, high-quality, compact, and waterproof optical instrument that offers reliable performance. Its advanced features and ergonomic design make it an ideal choice for anyone in need of a lightweight, yet powerful binocular for clear and detailed observation in any outdoor setting.
