My replacement showed up this past Thursday . My first impression on Thursday was good . Yesterday it was bad, very bad (more on this later) . This morning with the early morning sun behind me the Regal's impressed me alot . I don't want to say too much until I've had more time with them . Did a bit of comparing with the Monarch HG 8x42 and a Manfrotto Pistol grip Monopod yesterday . I will say that the Monarch HG for me is leaps and bounds ahead of the Regal as far as how it feels in my hands . It's just feels better the shape and texture AND the 3.5 oz difference in weight .
I am not the reviewing kind of a guy but I feel I know a good view when I see it . So I will add to this thread when I have had more time playing with the bins .
