The new Monarch ATB Binoculars have arrived. I ordered these at the Shot Show and they have finally arrived.
I have the:
8x36
10x36
8.5x56
12x42
12x56

Any questions that I can answer for you please let me know

Yeah mate what does ATB and DCF stand for in the Monarch line of binos..Thanks...Les

Every company has different initials that we attempt to figure out.
ATB stands for All Terrain Binocular because of its tough comnstruction.
DCF stands for - D (?) CF Central Focus

talk to me about the 8.5x56 this is something I am interested in.

Do you have a pair of Burris 10x50s Signature II to compare to?

I am sorry, I do not. We are not a Burris dealer. To the best of my knowledge Burris does not make their own glass. I know Pentax supplies their glass for riflescopes, I am not sure who supplies for their binoculars.
As a Camera & Sports optics dealer we prefer to carry lines that have the optics of the mfg. who's name is on the product. I have seen over the years good independant lens names all of a sudden turn into fair quality lenses and then find out later that the company supplying the glass changed. That will not happen with pentax, Nikon, Leica, Minox, etc.
