Improving on their Monarch 5 design, Nikon's black 8x42 Monarch M5 Binoculars benefit from a wider field of view to present you with a more immersive observational experience while maintaining the same focus on comfort and performance the Monarch line is known for. Featuring extra-low dispersion glass elements with anti-reflection fully multicoated optics and highly reflective dielectric-coated and phase-corrected roof prisms, the Monarch M5 produces bright and clear high-contrast images with true-to-life color and minimal color fringing.
Premium Optical Performance
The M5 Monarch binoculars offer 8x magnification, allowing users to observe distant subjects up close while maintaining stability. Featuring 42mm objective lenses, these binoculars provide a clear and bright image, ideal for low-light situations such as dawn and dusk. With extra-low dispersion glass to reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations, along with phase-correcting prism coatings to enhance light transmission, contrast, and resolution.
Use and Handling
The compact and comfortable form factor of the roof prism design and closed-bridge configuration is enhanced by the high-eyepoint design. This design ensures that there is ample space between your brow and the eyecups, providing a clear field of view, even if you wear glasses. Additionally, the twist-up/click-stop rubber eyecups make glassing a pleasure, whether you wear eyewear or not. The large slip center focus wheel allows for precise focus control, even when wearing gloves. With dioptric adjustment and a wide interpupillary range, the M5 Monarch is easy to use for a wide variety of people. Furthermore, it can be mounted with the optional adapter for added convenience.
