Nikon Monarch ATB 7430 8x42 Binocular - The All Terrain Binocular!

There are several factors that make the Nikon Monarch ATB 7430 8x42 Binocular a great pair of binoculars, be it for yourself or a gift for someone else.

1 - 8x42 - The 8 is your magnification - if you are looking at something that is actually 100 yards away, it would appear as large to you as if it was only 12 yards away. The 42mm is the diameter of your lenses, and the larger they are, the more light they will admit in, which really brightens your viewing and allows you to see objects clearer even in lower light conditions.

2 -100% Waterproof - How many times have you heard of someone ruining their camera or binoculars because they got them wet? You won't have to worry if you get these binoculars wet.

3 - Fogproof - This is another great feature. Have you ever had your glasses fog up? Then you know how frustrating it can be not to be able to see until they are cleared up. You won't have to worry about that either with these binoculars.

4 - Shockproof - The Nikon Monarch ATB 7430 8x42 Binocular was designed for harsh conditions. The exterior finsih is a Rubber Armor that is beneficial if you drop the binoculars and it also makes it easier to hold onto them, even when they are wet.

Review #1
These are replacements for my trusty but funny looking Nikon Travelites which were seriously dropped. I use them mostly for sporting events (football and the like), concerts, casual birding, a bit of night sky scanning and on the water at Lake Tahoe on ocassion. The Monarchs are rugged, extremely bright, have excellent optics (that 3D effect) and unlike other reviewers I actually like the captive lens caps - no problems here. I also like the ability to easily view with (sun)glasses on, something really lacking with my old pair. I am however still trying to get used to the larger form factor. The Travelites while not as bright or sharp were small enough to fit into a fanny pack, on a belt or even in a front pocket if needed, While not huge like a full sized set the 8X42 Monarchs though compact remain "something to carry" even if the case is a pretty good one. I find when hiking that I now slide them in the case into a small day pack rather than sling the short strap. This size vs. performance was a planned trade off and I am not unhappy one bit with my choice expecially with the rock bottom Amazon price and the Nikon mail in rebate on top! These are a step up for me. Excellent!

Review #2
I purchased this product based on the reviews here on Amazon and some other sites as well. I'm always a little nervious when purchasing a product this way but there were enough positive reviews that I felt fairly confident about the purchase. That's why I'm adding my own postive review. These binoculars are amazing! I've never used any of the "$2,000 field binoculars" that some have talked about in the other reviews but optically I cannot imagine a drastic improvement over these binoculars. I say that because when you look through them there is simply no occlusion or distortion of the light. If it were not for the border around the view you would not know that you're looking through glass. My wife and I were astounded and at one point were more focused on trying to see lenses more than the view just to see if we could see them. These binoculars are magical! You will not be disappointed if you buy them. Oh and yes the lens caps are a little weird but hardly worth fretting over.
