Improving on their previous Monarch 5 design, Nikon's black 10x42 Monarch M5 Binoculars benefit from a wider field of view to present you with a more immersive observational experience with the same focus on comfort and performance the line is known for. Featuring extra-low dispersion glass elements with anti-reflection fully multicoated optics and highly reflective dielectric-coated, phase-corrected roof prisms, the Monarch M5 produces bright and clear high-contrast images with true-to-life color and minimal color fringing.

Optical Performance

• The powerful magnification allows for detailed observation of distant subjects
• Larger objective lenses improve light-gathering ability without adding excessive bulk or weight
• Roof prism light path ensures optical tubes remain thin for a compact form factor
• Extra-low dispersion glass reduces chromatic and spherical aberrations for increased contrast, improved color rendition, and sharpness without distortion across the entire field of view
• Phase-correcting prism coatings reduce internal interference to improve light transmission, contrast, and resolution
• Anti-reflection fully multicoated optics maximize light transmission across the entire visible spectrum for accurate color rendition and improved contrast and clarity
• Highly reflective multilayer dielectric prism coatings boost internal reflection to >99% to maintain image brightness and improve contrast and clarity
• Improved wider field of view than previous models present a more immersive observational experience

Use and Handling

• High-eyepoint design provides ample space between your brow and the eyecups for a clear field of view, even when you're wearing glasses
• Closed-bridge configuration provides a solid and stable platform for the internal focusing mechanism
• Large slip center focus wheel allows for precise focus control, even while wearing gloves
• Right eye dioptric adjustment collar helps to compensate for individual eye prescription
• 56-72mm interpupillary distance range allows easy use by a wide variety of people
• Twist-up/click-stop rubber eyecups for use with or without eyewear
• Tripod mountable with optional adapter for hands-free use
• Long eye relief helps to reduce eyestrain and improves viewing comfort
• Comfortable exit pupil will cover pupils as they open in low light to keep the full scene in view

Construction Details

• Environmentally friendly Eco-Glass is made without lead or arsenic
• Textured protective rubber armoring provides a slip-resistant grip, especially in cold and wet weather
• Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature changes and environmental conditions
• Black coloring allows it to remain inconspicuous in all environments
• One-piece tethered ocular rainguard protects eyecups from water pooling in them from rain or spraying water when hanging from the neck
• Tethered fold-down objective lens caps prevent losing them during observation sessions
