Hi all
I am in the market for a new pair of binos having driven off after stupidly leaving my Bushnells on the top of the car while doing some spot lighting on a recent trip to Darwin. Not a great loss as they were a 10 year old $200 pair on their last legs and I was about to replace them anyway. Still, not the way I wanted them to go out. I would have preferred having them as a spare!
I cannot justify the cost of one of the really top pairs available so I was looking at the Nikon 10×42 Monarch DCF HP WP which retail here for about $750 odd. I have a small 10×25 Nikon pair that I use for travelling and find them great. I have looked at the archives and the Monarch seems to get a pretty good rap from most people that have them but the postings I have found are all over 3 years old.
Are they still a good buy? Or is there another pair that people think are as good or even better? Also, I would actually prefer 10x50s, do people think there is much benefit with the extra?
Kind Regards
Bob Dawson
