Nikon 8x30 E Review. At first glance the Nikon 8x30 E looks like the traditional leather-covered 8x30 porro-prism binoculars that were ubiquitous before the 1980s and are so deeply unfashionable for many serious birders today. Their loss is your gain, though, because these are in fact a top-line binocular.
Nikon Introduces MONARCH 7 8x30/10x30 BinocularsAugust 19, 2013Nikon Vision Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Nikon Corporation, is pleased to announce the release of its MONARCH 7 binoculars 8x30 and 10x30. These new models complement the existing MONARCH 7 8x42 and 10x42 binoculars.Integrating two values that Nikon has consistently pursued, namely, technical perfection and practical utility, the MONARCH 7 8x42 and 10x42 made their sensational debut last year. The new MONARCH 7 8x30 and 10x30 models now join this series, upholding that same level of incomparable optical performance. Brighter images and natural colours are realised by Nikon's optical technologies such as ED glass (extra-low dispersion glass), dielectric high-reflective multilayer prism coating and phase-correction-coated roof prisms.Built small and compact, these amazing binoculars are suited for those who seek high-performance products, and also for birdwatching enthusiasts who demand high performance in a compact body.

What I'm looking for is a pair of high end, small, light weight 6x, or 8x binoculars for hunting. I want good resolution and contrast.
I want bright enough optics to count antler tines at dark thirty. I know without a doubt I could get better/optimal optical performance from a larger frame, but I am really strongly trying to balance good optical performance with fantastic size/weight. I do not want the true compacts or micro compacts as I find them almost too small to hold steady and they seem to fail me in the first and last 30 minutes of hunting lighting conditions. I am a traditional bowhunter who does a lot of spot and stalk and I hunt hill country a lot. I simply won't take large format binoculars into the woods as they interfere with my bowstring.

I like to wear binos on a chest harness. I use them for scouting, punching through brush, identifying sex of various game animals, and general wildlife viewing when the action is slow. I've looked through a variety of optics locally from Vortex, Leopold, Swarovski, Nikon, Redfield, MeOpta, Zeiss, and Leica.
Again my emphasis is on keeping bulk down and having just enough weight to offer a stable view for hunting use with enough light transmission, resolution, and contrast to not feel like I'm short handing myself by going with a physically smaller binocular. JGRaider wrote:Steve, what's your take on the 8x30SLC vs Maven B3? I'm really wanting to find an 8x30 class glass that fits my weird face, as I've had constant eye relief issues with the one's I've tried. Can you unscrew the eyepieces from the maven and add gaskets to increase ER?This will probably piss some people off.
As far as I am concerned, if Swarovski is supposed to be the house of binocular nirvana, they should have been able to come up with something better than the CL. The Maven B3 would have been a good thing for them to have come up with.
Don't get me wrong here, the CL is a very good glass, in some ways better than the B3. But there are no flies of much consequence on the B3.There seems to be some eye relief issues with a lot of 30-32 mm binoculars.
I really don't think it is so much eye relief in and of itself. I think that is pretty well defined by design geometry. What is one of my pet peeves with many binocular brands, is that there seems to be little to no attention paid to how the eye cup extension of the eye cup assembly they use actually matches with the stated eye relief specifications. It does not do a lot of good to have an 18 mm eye relief and use an eye cup that only extends out 15mm. Or has an eye cup so thick it stands 4-5 mm away from the ocular lens. You wind up screwed if you need to get your glasses as close to the ocular as you can, or to get your eyes as far enough away from the ocular to reach the stated eye relief.The B3 gave me a little bit of an issue with a bit too short of an extension, but I have managed to be able to accommodate it.
But yes, the eye cups on all of the Maven binoculars unscrew. Sometimes it is hard to explain why a certain pair of binos get into your hands more often than the other binos you own. Putting aside specifications for a moment, for some folks, me included, there are some intangible reasons why you take some bins to your heart and love 'em to bits, while other bins you respect for the technical competence or the job they can do, but they don't quite grab you.My two favourite binos are SF 8x42 and Conquest HD 8x32 but when I take them out, I kind of feel the SF is the best technical companion I can take along with me, but with the little Conquest I feel that I am taking a close friend with me. Don't know if I am expressing this very well, but I bet there are a few hunters out there who have similar feelings about their rifles if not their binos.LeePeddler.

Ergonomics is ultimately what made me jump. To my eyes, I simply don't see them as $1k glass. They look more like a $750 pair of binoculars to my eyes.
What they do offer though is a very small footprint, are light weight, have excellent handling (which is hard to do on a sub-standard physical size - several other compacts never even made it to my comparisons because they were so awkward to handle), and good optics. Sure the larger and more expensive glass has superior optics and would be preferable for birding or just playing around with, but for hunting I'm looking to locate/ID animals, signs of animals in the landscape, and scan the land for a path to hike when hunting in back country from dark thirty to dark thirty. These will do that very well and are about as small as I could find that didn't become fiddly in the hand and unsteady at the eyes.anweis.
