These were bought to give my back yard birding the same performance boost the Monarch 5 10x42's had given my long-distance birding. They allow me to quickly acquire the bird I'm looking at due to the wider field of view. Nikon has packed performance into the Monarch 5 line that rivals other brands at twice their price. Sure, they cannot compare with a $2,000 + pair but for the serious binocular user on a budget these are a great choice. I'd go so far as to say most people would not be able to tell the difference. Good low light performance and edge to edge clarity make these a big step up from the lower priced options. They are easy to use with medium fast focusing. Mid-weight so I haven't noted them as uncomfortable to carry, All-in-all, a great product that has carved a definite niche in the mid-priced binocular marketplace.Read full review

These binocs are great, especially for people with close-set eyes. I tried the Zeiss Terras & they are 2mm wider at their closest. that was enough to make a difference for me. & the nIkons are cheaper to boot. Only slight negative is the eyepiece lens caps are a bit loose. I understand this was an intentional design feature to make it so the caps come off easily when lifted up to your eyes. Still a bit of a pain.

Great lenses, good construction, easy to adjust focus in/out and change focus between left/right. Not too heavy, good size, carrying case etc. It's the first pair of high quality binoculars I've owned and they are great!

I LOVE my Monarch 5 binoculars which I bought 3 years ago. However, I recently bought the same model for my husband, and after just a few months with minimal use, the eye piece came off, unnoticed, while we were taking a walk. My disappointment is that when I wrote (twice) to the vendor I purchased it from via e-bay, TRI STATE CAMERA I never got a response. At this point, I'm trying to contact Nikon to see how to proceed from here. At any rate, I would definitely recommend these binoculars despite my recent experience. I'm thinking it's probably just an unusual quality assurance problem (Monday morning, tired employee...???) since my older pair is still holding up perfectly well.

Magnification is great, lightweight, easy to use. Like the lens covers. Have 6 pairs of these and love them!
