Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Before I bought this great product, I did research online and found an excellent review by Cornell Lab of Ornithology. It puts Nikon Monarch ATB 8x42 in one of the best binoculars. I bought an 8x36, however, because the main use of it is to bring it with me for hiking including backpacking and I prefer a lighter, compacter one. I'm totally happy with my decision.
I believe all the lab review says about the 8x42 version are true with 8x36 as well. The image is very sharp and bright. The focal ring moves very smooth and you'll be amazed at how easily the image gets its focus.
It's so bright that you can see the colors of birds clearly in a cloudy old growth forest (I hiked with this in North Cascades NP, WA) when your bare eyes can't.
This product comes with a nice small bag with a hole to put your belt through, so I can attach it to my backpack.
I also recommend you read the Amazon reviews for the 8x42. The claim about the front lens caps is true with the 8x36. The instruction says you can attach the lens caps to the neckstrap but it's a bit troublesome (you need to do this every time as the neckstrap obviously does not reach the front lens), so I bought a narrow strip and attach the caps to it, then attach the strip to the neckstrap. Anyway, this is a minor thing compared with the overall quality of this product.
Coupled with my Nikon D80 (a digital camera), Nikon always gives you best quality products.

Nikon has mastered the art of effectively shrinking the size and weight of optics for the hunter without shrinking in the field performance-and the new 8x36 and 10x36 Monarch are no exception. Boasting a 367-foot field-of-view in the 8x and 314-foot in the 10x, Nikon has virtually matched the field-of-view ofits 8x42 and 10x42 models-but in packages that each weighs-in under 20 ounces and measures just over 5 inches in length.Like the entire Nikon Monarch family, the new 8x36 and 10x36 Monarch ATB are fully waterproof and fogproof and feature fully multicoated lenses for maximum light transmission and image quality. The new ATBs incorporate Nikon's exclusive Eco-Glass (made without the use of arsenic or lead) for all lens and prism elements. Prisms feature phase-correction coatings and high reflection mirror coatings for superior sharpness and resolution.Ergonomic styling, mated with a rubber armored exterior, provides added shock resistance and a firm grip, wet or dry. Turn and slide rubber eyecups with multi-click adjustments, complemented by long eye relief (17mm in the 8x36, 15mm in the 10x36), allow thebinoculars to be used as comfortably by eyeglass wearers as those with uncorrected vision. A large central focus wheel and adjustable diopter make focus easy to achieve and maintain, even while wearing gloves.. Like all Nikon binoculars, the Monarch ATBs are covered by Nikon's 25-year limited warranty and the exclusive No-Fault Repair/Replacem
