I bought the 8x42 Nikon Monarchs today. They looked very bright and crisp in the store, but of course the proof will be how they work in the field, and I don't have any hunts planned soon. As a matter of fact, my real need for these is probably 18 months away, though I can use them sooner for occasions I really don't need them for. I need to be collecting my equipment over time, however, or the cost of buying six or eight major items all at once will overwhelm my pocketbook!
