Nikon 12x42 Monarch M5 Binoculars (Black)

Improving on their Monarch 5 design, Nikon's black 12x42 Monarch M5 Binoculars is ideal for use in wide-open terrain, like what's in the American West, when you need to scan for subjects and make positive identification. They benefit from a wider field of view than their predecessor to present you with a more immersive observational experience, with 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.

Optical Performance

The powerful magnification allows for detailed observation of distant subjects across vast flat ground like the prairies of the American West

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 presents 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

Comfortable exit pupil will cover most pupils as they open when the light is fading 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 prevents losing them during observation sessions
