>> For my husband
Got them for the hubby and he loves them he always takes them on trips and also to work
>> Used for Hunting
I bought these binoculars for hunting Coues Whitetail deer in Arizona All day medium to long distance glassing is required I put quite a few miles on in very rough country The glasses held up well taking a few unintentional thumps The clarity around the edges at a distance of about 300 yards or more is not as good as I had hoped but was adequate Closer viewing seemed clearer No eye strain after a week of glassing The front lens covers tend to get knocked off easily but I liked the way they were linked to the body and kept the lens clean The rain guard also functioned well Focus adjustment is a little touchy and took some getting used to Overall very happy
>> Great Mid Range Binoculars
In my opinion any of the Nikon Monarch series represents a good investment for someone interested in purchasing a premium set of optics without spending a great amount of money My wife and I use my 12X42s for such activities as wildlife viewing scenic observation boating and hunting The 12X magnification provides great distant viewing without the tendency to have shaky images Also viewing is crisp and bright in limited periods of light Finally the relative compactness of the 12X42s makes them useful for most field uses I carefully research products before I purchase them If you are considering buying a great mid range set of optics for yourself or someone else you will be pleased
