    8x30 EII - Eyecups and Cap Replacements

    Hello all, I managed to snag a pair of EII for $450 AUD šŸ’Ŗ It did appear they have had their eyecups folded down and therefore rubber deterioration. Has anyone found a supplier for the eyecup replacements and also the objective/rear caps? I did see some on ebay but they seem to have a big...

    Nikon Monarch HG 10x42 blackouts

    Hello, I recently bought this bino and I am having some problems when I look at the edges of the image. I haven't had roof binoculars in the past so I don't know how they are supposed to work and what to expect. I think I have set the IPD well and I can see the whole field when looking at the...

    Found a used Monarch X for a cool $90 (10.5x45)

    Had a lot of good luck at this pawn store with my weird hobbies, found the GPS unit I wanted in 2012 that Garmin no longer makes in April, found a real firefighter helmet with visor last November, and now these 10.5x Monarchs I also wanted back in 2012 when I started to take birding more...

    Hello, after hours and hours of research I have decided to get a new Nikon Monarch HG 10x42 (or MHG? I mean the new model). A friend is coming from the Netherlands in a few weeks and is willing to bring me these binos since I simply can't get them here. I learned from these forums that there is...

    Nikon Monarch M5 or GPO Passion ED?

    Hello, after weighing many parameters, I ended up at these two models from which I can pick one. I have been using Monarch DCF 8x42 for 17 years now. No problems, apart from serious wear-off. Now I want to change to 10x42 and step up if possible. I had no chance to try the GPO 10x42, only a...

    Monarch HG 8x30 vs 8x42 ?

    I own the Monarch HG 10x42 and love it. Want to buy one more pair of HG's to complement the 10x42 Headed to Africa for Safari (Okavango and Chobe) with my wife and mother. None of us need glasses for binocular viewing. 8x30 is a bit lighter and smaller - the weight savings may be noticeable...

    Preamble While I know some dislike them (to quote allbinos.com: "a real pair of binoculars starts from 28-30 mm objective diameter"), I enjoy compact binoculars. While I can readily acknowledge their optical drawbacks, I am of the opinion that the best pair of binoculars is the one you have with...
