The Nikon 8 x 30 Monarch HG Binoculars are a great alternative to the 42mm models if you are looking for something lighter & easily accessible, but do not want to compromise performance. The 8 x 30, like the other HG models, is designed with strong magnification for viewing distant subjects. Designed with technologies that enable their use in all light conditions, the durable design of the 8 x 30 Binoculars lets you brave the harshest of environments.
Lead/arsenic-free extra-low dispersion lens elements are used to correct chromatic & spherical aberrations. Phase-corrected & dielectric-coated roof prisms are also used to further limit internal light loss, and improve image contrast. The optical path is multi-coated with anti-reflection coatings, which increases image contrast, light transmission, & sharpness, while also providing true color rendition. Nikon also uses its field-flattener lens system, which gets rid of the common distortion at the edges of the lenses, and helps to produce crisp details. All of these elements work together to provide you with bright & clear, high-contrast images. They also provide you with accurate color across the field of view—even at low light, such as late evening & early morning, under heavily overcast skies.
The chassis has a short bridge design, which allows for more gripping surface, & helps to reduce the overall weight. This design is especially important on an optic that measures only 4.7-inches length. The optical tubes are nitrogen-filled & O-ring sealed to make them fogproof, waterproof, & submersible. The exterior is designed with textured, rubberized panels, that protect against drops & bumps. The design also offers a slip-resistant grip for secure handling in cold & wet conditions. Tethered objective lens covers are used to make sure that they cannot be lost easily & are ready for use. The 8 x 30 Monarch HG Binoculars are designed for performance and durability,makingthem an excellent choice for someone looking to reduce the size of their binoculars without lowering the performance level.
