Outstanding Optics

The Nikon Monarch M5 Binoculars promise high-resolution imagery with rich colour distinction and accuracy across the frame. This is in direct correlation to the inclusion of a dielectric high-reflective multilayer prism coating, which encourages superior imaging quality across the entire visible range. Plus, extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements correct chromatic aberration, which minimises colour fringing and enhances clarity. Due to their lightweight construction and rubberised grip, these binoculars are comfortable to hold for extended periods of observation, as well as offering a clear and stable view.

Built for the Outdoors

Manufactured specifically for outdoor observations, the Monarch M5 binoculars are perfect for everything from mountain climbing and hiking to camping and birdwatching. They employ rubberised armour to boost shock resistance, whilst also forming a more comfortable and secure grip. Being waterproof to 1m for up to 10 minutes, these M7 binoculars are well-suited to operation in heavy rainfall and inclement weather. The fog-free lenses and tactile turn-and-slide rubber eyecups afford a consistent viewing experience, which is of exceptional quality compared to other binoculars within their class.

FAQs:

What is the purpose of implementing ED glass elements?

Extra-Low Dispersion elements, or ED for short, is glass that actively corrects chromatic aberrations. This allows for a clear reduction in colour fringing to ensure a bright, accurate, and rich final image.

What are the varying M5 models available and how do their fields of view differ?

Listed below are the three Nikon M5 models available, alongside their apparent field view:

What do the different numbers refer to?

The first number refers to the strength of the magnification, and the second refers to the size of the objective lens (measured in millimetres across the lens.) The size of the objective lens determines how much light can enter the binocular, so the larger the number, the more light can pass through the lens resulting in a brighter image.

What's best for me?

This really comes down to your personal preference - Are you viewing subjects in low light? Is portability a main factor in your choice? How far away are the subjects you're going to be viewing? All of these questions need to be asked before you can decide which to go for. A more portable pair often will have a wider field of view and are great for panning/tracking subjects, whereas if you want to have a large magnification to view distant objects, these binos will be large and heavy.
