Default RE: binos for eyeglass wearer??

What you need are binos with extended eye relief. Eye relief is the furthest distance one can get from the ocular lens and still see the complete slight picture.

I have spent some time with the Nikon Monarch ATB - good binos, good value, but the image looked "soft" to me.

Look at the Pentax line of roof prisms: DCF-WP II or DCF-SP. They both have twist down eyecups and excellent eye relief. I currently own the DCF-SP 8X43 and it is a fantastic bino that you can buy for around $400.00. I formally owned the DCF-WP II and it can be found for around $300.00. Both binos are excellent with a full lifetime warrenty, waterproof, nitrogen purged, BAK-4 prisms and fully-multicoated. The SP is a bit lighter (magnesium-alloy frame), has scratch resistant lens coatings, and slightly higher optical performance. These are both rugged, high-quality binos and should provide a lifetime of service.
