Excellent quality
Bought these as a gift for my son, as he had been using mine for around a year and wanted the same quality. These feel great in the hand and optically crisp and clear for the price range both close up and distance.

Good all-round binoculars
Well constructed without being too heavy. Nicely fitting lens cups. Focusses across range with a single turn. Good diopter range on eyepiece (abt. -4D) and setting holds firmly. Excellent adjustable eye relief allows for wearing spectacles if required. Quick accurate bright focussing.

These are great for watching the wildlife on the Marina. Superb clarity and easy to focus. Not sure what the fuss is with the eye covers are because if you have fitted the strap on properly through them they fit and stay in place when not in use. Overall a decent bit of kit !

Totally Pleased
First quality pair I've owned. Wife game them to me for Christmas in 2013. Took the place of a 50-year old no name brand with was pretty good, but the Nikon kicks them in the knees. Typical targets are 200 - 300 yards away and they do everything I'd want.
Pros:
- Very bright and sharp optics
- Easy to focus
- A true joy to use
Cons:
- Lens caps don't stay on as well as I'd like
- Center pivot barely makes the eye pieces wide enough for me

Stunning clarity
Have a lot of binoculars for different purposes but for clarity and contrast these are in a class of their own. I now use these in preference to my bigger, heavier and theoretically superior binoculars.
Pros:
- Easy to use
- Compact
- Build quality
Cons:
- Battery life

Awesome Binocs
I bought one pair of the Nikon 8x42 Monarch 5 binoculars a month ago and my wife and I loved them so much we were fighting over them so I just ordered a second pair from B&H! I've never owned binoculars this large before but it only took a few minutes to get completely used to the weight and size,...

A binocular with seriously great features
I have had this product for several years and it is impressive. Besides the warranty this item exceeds my expectation for it' construction and build. It is a very solid binoculars and the roof prism is different from the Monarch 3. It does not have a yellowish hue from the silver roof prism.
