## Description

NIKON MONARCH M5 BINOCULARS: The Nikon MONARCH M5 binoculars deliver bright, high-resolution views for outdoor adventures, from birdwatching and wildlife spotting to hiking, camping, and sightseeing. Featuring ED glass and dielectric high-reflective multilayer prism coatings, they minimize chromatic aberration and color fringing while maximizing light transmission for vivid, natural colors in any light. Large objectives and aspherical eyepiece lenses provide sharp edge-to-edge clarity, and the wide field of view makes spotting moving subjects easy. The smooth central focus knob and close-focus capability (as near as 8.2 ft.) reveal fine details up close. High-eyepoint eyecups offer comfortable viewing with glasses, and the durable, rubber-armored body provides secure grip and bump protection. Nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed, these binoculars are waterproof and fogproof for clear vision in rain, humidity, or temperature extremes. Lightweight and compact, the MONARCH M5 is easy to carry on any adventure. Available in 8x42, 10x42, and 12x42 magnification models, each option offers a perfect balance of portability, magnification, and field of view. MAIN FEATURES: - Bright, natural colors in all light; - Wide field of view for tracking; - Smooth central focus with close-focus; - Comfortable high-eyepoint design for glasses; - Waterproof, fogproof, durable rubber body; - Lightweight, portable binoculars for outdoors.

Review: Excellent for the Price - I have owned these binoculars for a few years and my only complaint has been the field of view is a bit narrow. I also own a Nikon Prostaff P3 10x42 and Nikon HG 8x30. I have tried out many other binoculars such as Zeiss, Leica, and Swarovski that my friends own, and compared many binoculars in stores. I think the Monarch M5 is the best affordable pair of binoculars that I have tried. I only bought the Prostaff P3 because I forgot my M5s at home on a multi-week trip and found them for $100 on sale, but I can tell you the Monarch M5 is significantly better in terms of optics. The P3s are fine if you're not comparing them to anything, but side-by-side you immediately notice the M5 glass is way better. I have also compared the M5 to the M7 in store and I think the M7 is not worth the extra price unless you NEED wide field of view. The M5 is sharp edge to edge, whereas the M7 is sharp basically out to the point where the M5 field of view ends - I guess probably sharpness on the edge doesn't really matter for most people, but just something to consider. My Monarch HG 8x30 is a bit sharper, and with significantly wider FOV which is also sharp edge-to-edge, and performs the same in low-light at a fraction of the size... but it is also 3-4x the price. The difference in image quality between the M5 and HG is not a night and day difference, but the difference between the M5 and Prostaff P3 is. In the hand the M5 feels quite sturdy and pleasant to use and the eyecups feel sturdy and have a nice tactile click when you twist them in and out. The objective lens covers are nice and generally stay in place quite well, but feel kinda weird trying to push them in. The Prostaff line objective covers are pieces of junk in my opinion. I still own my M5s because even after I bought my HGs, I decided it's nice to still have a nice secondary pair of bins in case I go out with a friend or something. In the end it's up to you if you want to dip your toes into mid-range binoculars like the Monarch series, but I can assure you the optical quality is WAY better than anything below it, and is still fairly close to that of significantly more expensive models. TL;DR - you will not find a better pair of binoculars under $300 - they are optically great, and feel nice to use. The only sacrifice for the low price is the field of view is not very wide, but I don't think that's really a big deal. If you care a lot about FOV specifically, then you can go for the M7, but it's more expensive and feels almost exactly the same besides the wider FOV.
Review: Great binoculars for spotting wildlife - Excellent optics with crystal clear viewing even it low-light conditions. They were a gift to a family member who was stunned to be able to clearly see the shadows of the moon’s craters.
