Description

Some of the most exciting moments happen in the magical light of dawn and dusk. Monarch M5 12x42 binoculars are built for these moments with a generous field of view and the highest magnification power in the series: 12x. Adjustable turn-and-slide eyecups with long eye relief make these the most comfortable Monarch binoculars yet. Nikon’s superior ED glass reduces distortion, while dielectric phase-corrected coatings boost contrast and multilayer coatings increase light transmission. The result? Better, more clear and brighter optics to take your adventure to new heights.

    • So much better than ProStaff model
Size: 12x42
I purchased both the ProStaff Model and the Monarch M5's. I own a pair of old Monarch's, and still love them. The prostaff model is a more affordable, but upon receipt the optics aren't even close...almost like a kid's version of the Monarch line. The Monarch's are 5X better than the ProStaff model (which I returned). Clarity, light, size, weight, build and smoothness of operation all better on the Monarch's. I was severely disappointed in the ProStaff Model. I know it's an extra $100, but such a world of difference. ... show more

    • Powerful and clear
Size: 12x42
Very clear with simple adjustments. They are medium/small in size and pretty powerful.

    • Excellent Binoculars
Size: 12x42
Very happy with these binoculars - compact, easy to use (carry, handholding, hike with), and the image clarity is excellent - exactly what i was looking for and expecting from Nikon

    • Quite good.
Size: 12x42
It is great product. However, it is very heavy for traveling and hiking to carry.

    • Nikon Quality!
Size: 12x42
Just got these so have not had much time with them. They feel good/comfortable in my hands, perfectly sized. Build quality seems to be what you would expect from Nikon, and I really like the 12X power! Going whale watching in Hawaii soon and will give up date when I return…

    • Great gift!
Size: 12x42
The hubby loved this gift! He had binoculars, but we also have younger grandkids. ‘Nuff said! The clarity with these is incredible. You can see even the smallest details of whatever you have sighted in.

    • Challenge to master, but worth it
Size: 12x42
The media could not be loaded. Using 12x binoculars is more of a challenge than 8x, with some shakiness while trying to capture video on my phone through an adapter, BUT these were ideal for our Alaskan cruise and whale watching. This 1:21 clip is the end of watching these whales up close for nearly 15 minutes! Nikon for the win! ... show more

    • Really happy with this set!
Size: 12x42
This was the next step up from my previous pair, and worth it. That little bit of extra magnification really made a difference. Used it for eagle nest and osprey nest spotting.
