The wide FOV is great. Note that Tom's link is about the previous Monarch 7, which the M7 replaced. I'm a Zeiss guy (8x32 FL is my #1 bin), but I'd surely rank the 8x42 M7 over the 8x42 Terra.Steve LoitzEllensburg, WAOn Sun, Mar 24, 2024 at 10:46 AM Tom Benedict <benedict.t at comcast.net> wrote:It’s hard to beat the Nikon Monarch line. M5 or M7 8x42. I have both. The M7 have an especially wide field of view. And they are not too heavy. Here’s link to a bird forum compare which may help, although it’s from 2015. https://www.birdforum.net/threads/8x42-zeiss-terra-ed-vs-nikon-monarch-7-detailed-comparison-from-an-optical-engineer.316696/
