In March 2017 the Polish Delta Optical company announced a launch of a new series of binoculars called Chase ED. The series was supposed to consist of four models with the following parameters: 8×42, 10×42, 10×50 and 12×50.

The ZD ED series consist of top-of-the-range, quite pricy binoculars produced by Pentax. They come with the following parameters: 8x43, 10x43 and 10x50. They all are Schmidt-Pechan constructions which roof prisms are phase correction coated and covered by silver reflective coatings.

Near the end of 2016 we saw another Steiner Nighthunter binoculars. Both the casing and optics of the 8x56 model were distinctly modified; apart from that any acronyms like XP or Xtreme disappeared from the name. The binoculars were also given one of the widest fields of view in their class.

The DO Titanium 10x56 ROH is a small and handy roof instrument with Schmidt-Pechan prisms. Its reflective surface is supposed to be covered by enriched aluminum layers. Apart from that all air-to-glass surfaces feature multilayer antireflection coatings.

I have been looking for a sensible pair of binoculars for children aged 10 or less for several years. My requirements are simple. An ideal set of binoculars has to be lightweight (less than 400 grams), handy and optically decent.

The Legend series produced by the American Bushnell company have been featured in their line-up for many years and in different variants. In 2015 they reorganized it and divided into as many as three lines, called Legend E, Legend L and Legend M. All of them include 8x42 and 10x42 models.

Kahles, a company from Austria, so far have specialized mainly in riflescopes. Even though they have been present on the market for over one hundred years recently their binoculars line-up consisted of three roof models with the following parameters: 8x32, 8x42 and 10x42 for quite a long time.

For many years the HG (High Grade) series, consisting of 8x20, 10x25, 8x32, 10x32, 8x42 and 10x42 models, represented top-of-the-range roof prism binoculars produced by Nikon. In 2010 they launched an even better line of products marked as EDG. In the meantime the HG series got a bit old and, as the rivals improved by leap and bounds, Nikon decided to launch its successors. In July 2016 they showed two new pairs of Nikon Monarch HG, the 8x42 and the 10x42 one.

In the previous part of our „monarchy adventures” we related the genesis of roof prism binoculars produced by Nikon and their evolution toward the current Monarch series. In this part we are going to check how these products actually fare while tested outdoor and whether they can persuade prospective owners, expecting a solid pair of binoculars, that they are worth their interest.

The MeoPro HD series produced by the Czech Meopta company consists of pairs of binoculars for a little more price conscious user than the customers of the flag Meostar models. Most likely you deal here with optics ordered in Asian factories and then assembled and finished in the USA.

The Pentax AP WP series consists of two Porro prism sets of binoculars: the 8x30 and the 10x30. These are quite classic optical systems with a 2-piece achromatic objective lens and a 2+1 eyepiece. The producer claims that all air-to-glass surfaces are multi-coated by antireflection layers.

The B1 Meostar series produced by Czech Meopta was launched on the market in 2005. They started with the following models: 7x42, 8x42, 10x42, 7x50, 10x50 and 8×56 and then the line-up was complemented by 8x32,10x32 and 12x50 instruments.
