Product Description
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
- Powerful Magnification: Enables detailed observation of distant subjects.
- Larger Objective Lenses: Enhance light-gathering ability without adding excessive bulk or weight.
- Roof Prism Light Path: Ensures thin optical tubes for a compact form factor.
- Extra-Low Dispersion Glass: Reduces chromatic and spherical aberrations for increased contrast, improved color rendition, and sharpness 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 visible spectrum for accurate color rendition, and improved contrast and clarity.
- Exterior Lens Coating: Allows water to bead and roll off, and oils to be cleaned off without leaving a residue, ensuring clearer views at all times.
- Highly Reflective Multilayer Dielectric Prism Coatings: Boost internal reflection to over 99%, maintaining image brightness and improving contrast and clarity.
- Wide Apparent Angle of View: Reduces the appearance of distracting hand shake common with high-power optics and requires less side-to-side head movement to see the terrain.
-
Improved Wider Field of View: Offers a more immersive observational experience compared to previous models.
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
