Brief comparison berween MHG VS EDG '8X42'
SF 8x42 is especially famouse for high CA on the edge of the fov. if you consider CA only in the edge, EDG has much less CA then SF. but at the center of the view, EDG has bit more CA then 8(8.5)x42 SF, EL, NL. those 3 bino has very large gap of CA between edge and center. what I mean is, if... -

Brief comparison berween MHG VS EDG '8X42'
Similar here. I prefer using 8x42 edg and 7x42 trinovid bn under bright light then 8x32 EL and 10x42 HT which is sometime overbright at daylight. -

Brief comparison berween MHG VS EDG '8X42'
I prefer 8x32 conquest over all 32 ~ 42 conquest. It it the around 1000$ bino that I most highly recommend to other birders. -

Brief comparison berween MHG VS EDG '8X42'
there are many sharper 8 power bino then EDG but there are very few (none in my experience) bino that deliver more comfortable? relaxing view then EDG. I have two close birder friend that like EDG more then EL because of that comfortness. I prefer 8x42 MHG over 8x42 conquest. much wider and... -

Brief comparison berween MHG VS EDG '8X42'
[conculsion] Nikon Monarch HG ans EDG is not the brightest and sharpest bino of the price range. in terms of brightest and centeral sharpness, they are both significantly below Zeiss conquest 8x42. It can be obvious for MHG because it is much cheaper the conquest (in South Korea and Japan.)... -

Brief review of Fujinon HC (Hyper clarity) 8x42
I have time to compare FMTR 7x50 and HC 8x42 at Fujinon launch party and at the flagship store. Color Fidelity is indeed lot better in HC then FMTR. and also color contrast it better too. fmtr has greenish casting. there can be coating improvements in HC. but, FMTR is brighter and sharper. at... -

8x42 can be pleasent because of it's nice color fidelity. it's color contrast doesn't shine like top bins but it's fidelity is certainly unique for it's price point :) -

Brief review of Fujinon HC (Hyper clarity) 8x42
16x70 fmtr can have excuse pf It's CA because it have very high transmission and magnification. I think they made HC too short to compete successfully at the market -

Fujinon Binocular launch party at South Korea.
have compared 16x28 and 12x28. I prefer 16x28 more. small Stabilizer with high power and quite nice build quality. thats all they got. I think it is not the bino that user can enjoy optic purely. -

Fujinon Binocular launch party at South Korea.
it said it have EBC coating which is Coating then Fujiflim use. but fmdon't know where it is really made. It's first time that Fujiflim Korea sells bino for thenselves. but I suggest them to focus on Stabilizer binoculars because, it can have some advantages to stabilizer market dominater... -

Brief review of Fujinon HC (Hyper clarity) 8x42
Conclusion. Fujinon HC 8x42 is not an ordinary bino. no doubt of it's fabulous color fidelity and build quality, but there are some parts that HC didn't keep it up at is price point. It is not a bad binocular. I also enjoyed it (partly) but I think it didn't match Fujinon's name on porro... -

Brief review of Fujinon HC (Hyper clarity) 8x42
Chromatic abberation (CA) control. I post it separately because I have lot to say it. Fujinon HC are known to have ED and lanthanum lens to reduce Chromatic abberation. is it successful? maybe yes and maybe no. this it a center CA photo of HC / MHG. In the photo, MHG has more purple...
