Nikon 7430 Monarch 8 X 42mm All Terrain Binoculars

My husband loved the binoculars. The picture is clear and for the price was a good deal.

Very happy with these Nikon's plus I got $50 of product for purchasing during promotional period. Seller is authorized reseller so you get the bonus. This would be a perfect gift. Best product, best price, can't beat it.

They present a clear and sharp image. When I girl watch I can clearly see the facial expressions on their faces.

Terrific. Lightweight,great in low light, easy focusing, close up and long range,best bang for the buck. I use outdoors saltwater conditions, tropical rain forest, watching the neighbors. R Warren Emerald Isle NC, Lake Arenal Costa Rica

I bought these after seeing them very highly rated on a consumer rating site. I've just used them a couple of times, and find they are everything promised- easy to focus, focus very close up, quite light and comfortable. I find it a little difficult to get the interpupillary distance just right (that is, the distance between the eyepieces so there isn't a shadow around the field of vision) and it tends to alter while being carried so has to be fixed repeatedly. But that's getting easier with practise. The only complaints I have are with the 'extras'- like the snap-on eyepiece protector which is designed to be fixed on the strap. It doesn't stay on the eyepieces so doesn't actually provide any protection while walking with them- and the thin plastic slot that holds it on the strap tore the first day out. The product logo (a tiny bit of plastic glued on the binocs themselves) came off the first day- not that it serves a purpose, but for the price these cost you don't expect things to fall off! And the strap is difficult to put on and to adjust.

Overall, I think I would buy these again and recommend them- but I wonder why the manufacturers would have poor-quality stuff on such a high-quality piece of equipment?
