Nikon 10x42 Monarch 5 Binoculars (Black)

Enhancing their Monarch 3 design, Nikon's 10x42 Monarch 5 black binoculars benefit from upgrades to glass and optical coatings to improve image quality with the same focus on comfort and performance that the Monarch line is known for.
Featuring extra-low dispersion glass elements with fully multilayer anti-reflective optics and phase-corrected, highly reflective dielectric coated roof prisms, the Monarch 5 produces bright, clear, high-contrast images with accurate color reproduction and minimal color fringing. . Its powerful 10x magnification allows users to make detailed observation of distant subjects, while the generous field of view helps minimize the appearance of hand shake that is common when holding high-powered optics like this one. The 42mm lenses increase your light gathering ability to enhance views in challenging light conditions, such as before sunrise and late afternoon or on cloudy and foggy days. With the combination of glass, prisms, optical coatings and a long eye relief,
The optical performance is complemented by construction details that make these binoculars durable and comfortable to use. They have a durable and lightweight reinforced polycarbonate ATB chassis and are protected by rubber armor that is accented with indented palm rests to give them a secure, non-slip grip. The optical tubes are filled with nitrogen and sealed with an O-ring to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moved through extreme variations in temperature and environmental conditions. A one-piece protective eyewear covers the eyepieces while the binoculars hang from the neck and prevent rain and water from filling them, and the lens caps of the objectives are also tied to prevent them from getting lost on the forest floor. This version of the Monarch 5 binoculars is offered here in subdued black, so they won't turn heads in the wild.
Optical performance
Powerful 10x magnification enables detailed observation of distant subjects
42mm objective lenses enhance light gathering ability without adding excessive bulk or weight
The light path of the ceiling prism ensures that the optical tubes remain slim for a compact form factor
Extra low dispersion glass reduces chromatic and spherical aberrations to increase contrast, improve color reproduction and sharpness without distortion throughout the field of view
Phase-corrected prism coatings reduce internal interference to improve light transmission, contrast, and resolution
Fully multilayer anti-reflective optics maximize light transmission throughout the visible spectrum for accurate color reproduction and improved contrast and clarity
Highly reflective dielectric prism multilayer coatings increase internal reflection to> 99% to maintain image brightness and improve contrast and clarity
288 'field of view at 1000 yards
Use and handling
Closed bridge configuration provides a solid and stable platform for the internal focusing mechanism
Large sliding center focus wheel allows precise focus control, even with gloves
Right eye diopter adjustment collar helps offset individual eye prescription
56-72mm interpupillary distance range allows easy use by a wide variety of people
Rotatable / click-lock rubber eyepieces for use with or without glasses
Can be tripod mountable with optional adapter for hands-free use
Long 18.4mm eye relief helps reduce eyestrain and improves viewing comfort
Comfortable 4.2mm exit pupil will cover pupils as they open in low light to keep the entire scene in view
Construction details
Eco-friendly eco glass is made without lead and arsenic.
Lightweight and durable fiberglass reinforced polycarbonate chassis
The chassis material is temperature resistant, preventing expansion and contraction that is common with metal, which can cause optical components to become misaligned over time and prevent sharp focus.
Textured protective rubber armor provides a non-slip grip, especially in cold and wet weather
The notches on the sides of the optical tubes are ergonomically positioned where the hands naturally fall for a more comfortable hand feel and a more secure grip.
Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme changes in temperature and environmental conditions
The black color allows e go unnoticed in all settings.
One-piece attached eyepiece rain shield protects the eyepieces from water that collects on them due to rain or from spraying water when hanging from the neck
Attached, collapsible objective lens caps keep them from getting lost during viewing sessions
