Eco Friendly Binoculars: Nikon Ecobins

With the state of the world's environment featuring more and more in peoples awareness, it was only a matter of time that binocular manufacturers cottoned onto the idea that if they produce Eco Friendly Binoculars, not only would they be helping to save much of the nature we are looking at through their products, but also score some brownie points with the environmentally concious consumer in the process - everyone is a winner.

10x25 Nikon Ecobins Binoculars
Nikon are one of the first to realise this with the release their Nikon 10x25 Ecobins compact binocular.

These neat little compact binoculars are not only made with lead and arsenic-free Eco-Glass, a non-chloride rubber body uses no harmful inks or dyes, but also come in environmentally friendly packaging that is produced from sustainable Eucalyptus forests and manufactured with minimal waste and have a travel binocular case that is 100% all-natural Lenzing TENCEL® fiber.

Discount Binoculars: Nikon 8x42 Monarch ATB

I have just finished writing a review on what I believe to be one of the best value for money binoculars on the market, after I finished, I realised that it has just got even better as the Nikon Monarch ATB 8x42 waterproof binoculars have been highly discounted on Amazon, Binoculars.com and Eagle Optics:

Amazon have taken almost 45% off the asking price, whilst Binoculars.com and Eagle Optics also have big discounts on them.

The Nikon 8x42 Monarch ATB binoculars at it's full asking price was always good value for money, with some excellent quality BAK-4 Prisms and fully multi-coated lenses combined with a tough, armoured exterior made these some of the best selling binoculars on the market, but now that they have been such highly discounted, I feel that if you are after a great deal on some binoculars ideal for bird watching, nature viewing and general all round use, you could do far worse than these.
