Nikon Monarch M5 10x42 Overview

From Manufacturer

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

Great for safari

We took these binoculars on safari in Tanzania. The sharpness and zoom on this product is such that we could make our details on hippopotamuses lions and zebras from hundreds of feet away. Highly recommend.

Super great binocs!

Fully rubber coated, hinged lens covers, spectacular optics, light weight. Be aware that it comes with a strap because it does not mention that. I bought a separate strap that was not actually necessary. Also, the front hinged lens covers are not shown in the pics. Great buy.

Does the Monarch M5 have better optica than the original Monarch 5?
Asked by: John
No the Monarch M does not have better optics than the Monarch 5. I does have a slightly larger field of view and a newer type of optical coating on the elements.
