I originally had bushnell trophys i think that cost about $175 then last year they broke so i spent $350 on the monach 10 x 42 and boy can i tell you these things are crystal clear.

I got mine in a gander mountain and told the guy what type of bushnell i had (now i know they weren't the top of the line bushnells) but when i brought those Nikon to my eyes i could clearly rear a sign all the way across the store that i could not make out with the same power bushnells. I think they are great and by the way my lens cap came off and after esnding them back to california to fix (no charge) i got them back in a week.

can't complain.
