I bought Fujinon 8x42 CD binoculars last year on sale ($500 was my budget) and have been very happy with them. I recieved an award from work the other day and the most attractive choice was Nikon Monarch ATB 10x42 binoculars.
They arrived yesterday and, I'll be honest, I can't tell any difference between the two. I don't need 2 pairs of binoculars that are this similar and can't decide which ones to sell. I like the twist out eyecups better than the pull out eye cups, but that's just personal preference, and I like the attached objective lense covers, but that's just preference too. I figure the $569 Fujinon's must be better than the $319 Nikons, but would like to hear other's rationale.... Ruggedness, low light performance, etc? Thank you, NitroSteel |
