Help on choosing binoculars

short story - Better.
Long story -
Monarch is higher end, focus quicker and the optics are better. It costs more. Hey, you only buy binos once in a long while.
So don't buy and change, buy and change. Get the better one - get it right the first time.

- All lenses and prisms are multilayer-coated for the brightest images
- Phase-correction-coated roof prisms for high resolution
- High-reflection mirror-coating prism for bright image
- High-eyepoint design provides a clear field of view, even for eyeglass wearers
- Close focusing distance: 2.5m
- Eco-glass optics that are free of lead and arsenic are used for all lenses and prisms
- Waterproof (up to 1m/3.3 ft. for 5 minutes) and fog-free with nitrogen gas
- Turn-and-slide rubber eyecups facilitate easy positioning of eyes at the correct eyepoint
- Rubber armouring for shock resistance and a firm, comfortable grip
- Lightweight body uses fibreglass-reinforced polycarbonate resin
- Wide strap
- Can be fixed to a tripod using optional tripod adaptor

There was an old thread on this subject with detail explanations contributed by forumers. That was when I started searching for bino. In The end I got myself monarch 8x36 ATB. Very good quality and cost me 300 plus.
TERRA ED binoculars from ZEISS

The value propositions for good binoculars is rapidly evolving. What used to cost a few thousands is now almost available for mere hundreds. I could not have imagined a Zeiss bin for $400 plus a few years back. Rather good initial reviews.

@ An drew may I know where to get it? But I tot zeiss binos are like super expensive? Sorry noob here
Sorry I am not sure where. I would normally ask Cathay Photo or Alan Photo. Although their prices would be higher than overseas, you can get it immediately.
So far the only place I know is ebay and the online shops in US.
e.g. ZEISS TERRA 8X42 BINOCULARS NEW, hunting birding | eBay
See my WTS ad for a pair of LEICA's
Interesting. But out of my budget leh still studying pok kai already lah. Unless you gimme 75% off hehehe
