Hi everyone
I've just got a pair of Nikon Monarch 8x36 as a backup to my main bins. They are quite nice apart from one thing which is driving me mad - the CA! Maybe it's just me, but I find CA to be most annoying.
Is this typical of roofs in this price range or are there some models better than others? I want to get a decent backup binocular without breaking the bank, but on the other hand I want something with a reasonable quality image otherwise I know I'm not going to use it.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers!
Gary

Mid-priced roof models are a mixed lot, to say the least.
There are good ones and really awful ones. Price is no indicator here!
If you can handle rudimentary German, I can send you a pdf with a comparitive test from 2006.
