I just got my new Nikon Binos today and all I can say is: Freakin Awesome.
Guys, if you want a set of binos that will do you justice, get a pair of Nikons.
These are the Monarch X series in 10.5 x 45 and they're smaller then th 8 x 42s that I had been using, the clarity is just unbelievable, I can focus on something as close as 5 ft and can clearly see birds sitting on a phone pole over 1/4 mile from my back yard, just incredible. I'm like a kid with a new toy
I'll not go to the woods without these babies in my pack.
