Providing quality optics at the right price, Nikon Monarch M5 8x42 Binoculars feature ED glass objective lenses for clearer, sharper views of birds that are enhanced by phase-coated and dielectric-coated prisms. The textured rubber armor provides added protection for these rugged binoculars as well as a sure grip for when you are birding. Providing a generous field of view for birders of 335 feet at 1,000 yards, the 8x42 M5s also close focus down to 8 feet. One of the lightest 42mm binoculars in its class, barely weighing 22 ounces, the Monarch M5s are also waterproof and fogproof.
While Nikon's Monarch M5 8x42 Binoculars are economically priced, Nikon's Prostaff 7 model is even more affordable, while Nikon's top of the line Monarch HG and Monarch M7 models are some of the best birding binoculars on the market.
