I bought these as a step up replacement from the Monarch 8X42 ATB's. My wife decided she wanted the old ones which left me with the opportunity to get a new pair. After some debate about going to 10X I settled on these. They are brighter and than the 42's and just a notch more magnification. Size and weight is bigger but still not so much they get heavy for short periods as I use they for birding. They came with front and back covers and appear to be as rugged as the original pair which routinely road in the console box of the car. I have had them for almost a month now and well pleased with my decision to buy them. I rate a excellent value as I think I would have to spend considerable more to do better.Nikon 8.5x56 Monarch ATB Binoculars 7517

These binocs are bright and clear for the money. If you don't mind the weight, get them.

Outstanding performance at a price far below the big names. They're a bit heavy but you must expect that with 56mm lenses.
