In a few months, I would like to buy two or three pairs of lighter-weight, quality 8x42 binoculars (waterproof/fogproof) for a domestic and international education project I am working on.
The Nikon Monarch 3, 8x42 is a size, weight, and quality that could work for me (or smaller/lighter preferred for travel and backpacking...with ROOF PRISM). So please keep me in mind if you are upgrading. Also, if you know of a better brand/model that would fit this description, please let me know. Lastly, I'd like to consider 10x42s. Does anyone have a good pair that I could borrow and try out for a week or two? I once had a pair, but it felt awkward. So I want to give them another try. Thank you! Sandy *S.L.
