User questions & answers

Question:	What is the difference between the monarch 5 7576 and the monarch 3 7540, what are the different features, and the difference in the optical quality
Answer:	My brother is the expert that gave me all of my information. I don't understand all the technical stuff, but he said that there is a huge difference in the quality of the "glass" between the 3 and the 5. The clarity is well worth the difference in price. I have used my husbands hunting bins for bird watching (one pair was a Nikon brand) and believe me, my monarch 5 7576 is so much clearer than his, I am afraid to let him borrow them for fear I won't get them back. Haha.
Question:	Are these binocs... the Monarch 5 10x42 good for long distance viewing for instance at the beach, looking out on the ocean at ships or for whales
Answer:	The power is adequate enough to enhance the view but not so powerful that you can't hold steady on the image. So no, you won't get long distance detail but it will bring the image closer. I find high powered binocs almost impossible to hold steady. These are the perfect balance. I love them.
Question:	What comes in the box? carry case? strap
Answer:	carry case, strap, lens covers for both front and back and user manuals. Suggest you purchase the pencil style Nikon lens cleaning tool as well... Very handy and only $7.00. we live at the beach. The optics are indeed amazing for the price.
Question:	Should I be really concerned about the adverse reviews on the lens caps
Answer:	Yes & No. I use binoculars for my work and own several pairs of various manufacturer's bino's & spotting scopes. These binoculars are a great value. At this price point, in my experience, they have better than average optical quality and build quality for this price range. The lens caps are junk. Nikon claims the ocular (eye piece) lens cover is purposely designed for a loose fit....they fit so loosely they fail to protect the lens from dust & dirt. The PRIMARY job of a lens cap is to protect the lenses, not be convenient. If you are at all active while wearing them, the lens cover will come off, providing no protection, increasing the risk of damage. Also, the highest likelihood of damage to lenses comes from improper cleaning and you will be cleaning the ocular lenses often. Be careful, use the right soft cloth or a lens pen, and try not to scratch or remove the coatings. The Objective lens covers are a little better. They fit better and were redesigned to have both an inner and outer lip to grip the barrels better. They are attached to the barrels, but over time, the plastic tether will break. Nikon will send you replacements when this happens. I do find you must swivel these caps out of the way. If you don't, they have a tendency to pop up into your field of view. The sad thing is every time I use these, these little, easily solved problems are a constant annoyance. I tried installing a thin strip of duct tape on the ocular lens cover, which helped them fit better, but over time, the tape slips when it's warm out and you get a sticky mess on your eyepieces. Thank God for Goo Gone. I wish Nikon would pay attention to their Customers and fix the problem.

Nikon MONARCH 5 12x42 Binocular

Even with an uncontested heritage of all-conditions optical performance, the MONARCH 5 further elevates its game with improved agility and advanced low light brilliance. The addition of Nikon’s ED glass lenses puts it in a class of its own for battling darkness with sharp, high-contrast views. The rubber-armored coating provides a non-slip grip in even the toughest environments.

Nikon's ED Glass Lenses

The Difference Is Clear

All MONARCH 5 binoculars are now built with Nikon’s legendary ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass lenses, which correct chromatic aberrations across the furthest limits of the visible light range and effectively compensate for color fringing.  Even when observing objects that would make chromatic aberration the most apparent – such as adjacent whites and blacks – the images will maintain superior contrast and resolution thanks to the ED glass lenses. The improved resolution also provides brighter, more natural looking images, making the MONARCH 5 a serious contender to be your 'go-to' binocular for years to come.

Enjoy Comfortable Viewing

Nikon’s High-Eyepoint Design

Nikon has manufactured the MONARCH 5 binoculars, as well as many other of its optics, with a high-eyepoint design. This provides a clear field of view for everyone, even when the user is wearing eyeglasses, with sufficient space between the user’s brow and the binocular’s eyecups.

Rich, Accurate Colors

Dielectric High-Reflective Multilayer Prism Coating

Applied to all lenses and prism surfaces, this technique provides almost the same brightness as that perceived by the naked eye, and clear high-contrast images that display accurate color reproduction.

Greater Light Transmission

Fully Multicoated Eco-Glass Lenses

Multilayer coatings, which provide an even higher light transmittance across the entire visible light spectrum, are applied to all of the lens and prism surfaces that transmit light. This minimizes the loss of light due to reflection, thereby ensuring a more natural, clearer view.

Turn-and-Slide Rubber Eyecups

The turn-and-slide rubber eyecups allow users to adjust the eye-relief for a custom fit - providing a full field of view and maximum comfort during extended periods of use.

Durable Rubber-Armored Body

Built to handle any environment, the MONARCH 5 has a rubber-armored coating to withstand extreme use and provide a non-slip grip, even in the wettest conditions.

Smooth Central Focus Knob

With this simple and intuitive design, bringing objects into focus has never been easier.

Waterproof and Fogproof

MONARCH 5 binoculars are Nitrogen filled and O-Ring sealed for complete waterproof and fogproof performance.

FAQ's



Real field of view

Real field of view is the angle of the visible field, seen without moving the binoculars, measured from the central point of the objective lens. The larger the value is, the wider the viewfield available. For example, binoculars with a wider field of view are advantageous for locating fast-moving wild birds within the viewfield. This also applies for finding small nebulas or a cluster of stars in astronomical observations.











Apparent field of view

Apparent field of view is the angle of the magnified field when you look through binoculars.

The larger the apparent field of view is, the wider the field of view you can see even at high magnifications.



With the conventional method used previously, the apparent field of view was calculated by multiplying the real field of view by the binocular magnification. (With this formula, apparent field of view wider than 65˚ is called wide field of view.)



After revision, Nikon's figures are now based on the ISO 14132-1:2002 standard, and obtained by the following formula:



tan ω' = τ x tan ω

Apparent field of view: 2ω'

Real field of view: 2ω

Magnification: τ

(With this formula, apparent field of view wider than 60° is called wide field of view.)











For example, the apparent field of view of 8x binoculars with an 7.0°real field of view is as follows:

2ω' = 2 x tan(r x tan ω)







= 2 x tan(8 x tan 3.5)

= 52.1°



Relative Brightness

Relative brightness value is obtained by squaring the diameter of the exit pupil. The greater the relative brightness is, the brighter the image will be. With 8x42 binoculars, the brightness is (42÷8)2= 28.1. This means that if the magnification is the same, the larger the effective diameter of the objective lens, the brighter the image will be.





Do binoculars with the same exit pupil offer the same brightness?







No. Brightness may vary even if the exit pupil is the same. This is because the amount of light reaching the viewer's eyes varies according to the number of lens elements and quality of lens/prism coatings. Superior optical design and highquality coating greatly contribute to the brightness of binoculars. Brightness values specified in product brochures, etc. are theoretical ones calculated in the design process. Please note these factors when comparing actual brightness values.





Prisms

Prisms are what let you see a correctly oriented image when you look through a pair of binoculars. There are two types of prisms in common use, Porro prisms and roof prisms.



Roof prisms are essentially in line inside the optical tubes, and make for a more compact set of binoculars. Roof prism binoculars have straight tubes (the front/objective lens is in line with the rear/ocular lens), and are therefore more compact, an important consideration for the sportsman. They usually have two pivot points between the tubes, and are more difficult to adjust to the spacing of your eyes. Roof prisms can give an optical image equal to the best Porro prisms, but for technical reasons they usually do not. To be really good, roof prism binoculars have to be in the high price class. Do not attempt to economize on roof prism binoculars.



Porro prism binoculars can be identified by their offset tubes; the objective lens is not in line with the ocular lens. The front lenses are usually closer together than the rear lenses, but the reverse can also be true, particularly in compact models. The Porro prism design is usually optically superior to the roof prism design, especially in medium priced class binoculars. Porro prism binoculars have a single pivot between the two halves of the binocular, and are therefore easy to adjust for the distance between your eyes.



Like roof prisms, not all Porro prisms are created equal. BAK-4 prisms are the best; they are made of superior optical glass that produces clearer images. These are what you want in your binoculars. BK-7 prisms are also used, usually in lower priced binoculars. These are satisfactory, but they are inferior to the BAK-4 prisms. Some manufacturers will not tell you what kind of prisms they use, usually because they are of inferior quality. BAK-4 prisms show a truer round, which translates to better light transmission and edge-to-edge sharpness



Prism Coatings

Multilayer coating is also applied to prisms to raise transmittance. A roof prism system has one surface that does not feature total internal reflection, so vapor deposition with metals, etc. must be used to raise the reflectivity of this surface. Also, phase-correction coating on roof surface ensures high-contrast images.

*Binoculars' brightness and contrast are affected by not only prism coatings, but also the number of objective lens and eyepiece lens, and types of coatings.





Phase-correction coating

A roof (Dach) surface can cause phase shift of light that affects image resolution. This phenomenon is caused by phase differences arising from total light reflection on a roof (Dach) surface and it can occur with even a perfectly processed prism. Phase-correction coating is applied to the surface to minimize loss of resolution, ensuring high-contrast images.



Twilight Factor

The factor that has the greatest impact on resolution or image detail, will be dependent upon the amount of light available during the time of observation. During daylight hours, when your eye pupil size will be only about 2 to 3mm, magnification will be the principal factor in image resolution. At night, with the eye pupil dilated to 6 to 8mm, aperture size is the controlling factor. In twilight conditions both of these factors control resolution effectiveness and the twilight factor is the term that compares binocular performance under these conditions.



The twilight factor is calculated by taking the square root of the product of the magnification and the aperture. The higher the twilight factor, the better the resolution of the binocular when observing under dim light conditions. For example, a 10 X 40 (twilight factor 20) would effectively resolve better under these conditions than a 7 X 35 (twilight factor 15.4) even though the 10 X 40 has a smaller exit pupil. Remember, however, that the twilight factor does not take into account the transmittance or quality of the optical system.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where are they made
Answer:	Yes. You can use a TV as a monitor using HDMI, but it's not always an ideal solution. Computer monitors are optimized for computer use while TV's are optimized for watching video. There are many factors that effect how well a TV will work as a computer monitor. I recommend doing a quick Internet search on the subject before making a commitment.
Question:	Hi is this coming with a carrying case, neck strap lens caps
Answer:	Yes, cassettes do stop at the end if you're playing or recording. You have to stop them yourself if you're rewinding or fast-forwarding. There isn't an auto-reverse function, so you do have to remove the tape and flip it over to play the other side.
Question:	does it come with a regular strap
Answer:	Yes. Radio stations come in clear. I'm happy with my purchase.
Question:	What is the country of manufacture (Made in
Answer:	Yes. It comes with a plug.
Question:	Can the harness be attached to a nikon 7239 action 7x50 ex extreme all-terain binocular
Answer:	I just got it, so this is based on a very small sample, but I'd say it wasn't that good - skipped a fair amount on media that plays well on other devices.
Question:	Does this have attachments that will make this work with a Nikon DSLR
Answer:	No. Made for Bushnell 8x42 or 10x42 binoculars.
Question:	where can i find a case for Nikon 10x50 binocular
Answer:	Yes. It has a strap on the back for your belt. It also comes with a detachable shoulder strap.
Question:	The harness is adjusted as small as it goes and the binocculars hang below my belly. Is there a way to have them higher on my body. I am
Answer:	No interior pockets

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it possible to view the rings of Saturn with these binoculars
Answer:	Was expecting a harness based on the prior answers ... mine came with a strap, not a harness
Question:	Do these have a tripod mount and if so, what kind
Answer:	Nikon's "ATB" designation in its binocular line stands for "All Terrain Binocular." These binoculars are designated as such because they are waterproof, fog-proof and shockproof by design.All of Nikon's Monarch series binoculars use the ATB designation in addition to a few other models. The original Monarch ATB was perhaps Nikon's most popular and best-selling model worldwide. As of 2014, Nikon had discontinued this model, replacing it with the newer Monarch 3, 5, 7 and X models.
Question:	What is the items wight
Answer:	The box states made in China. These are awesome ones though, very high quality. For a little less money the Vanguard Endeavor ED ones like the 10.5x45 are very nice. A bit heavier and also made in China.
Question:	What is the difference between 10x50, 8x42, 10x42 & 10-22x
Answer:	Just got the Monarch 7 10x42mm. Included was a warranty card that states it is a lifetime warranty by Nikon. Purchased from Helix Camera so I am guessing two years ago it was 25 years but now it is lifetime. The Nikon USA site gives the warranty as lifetime also. By the way, this is only honored if purchased from an authorized Nikon dealer (Helix is an authorized dealer). Purchased on Amazon from a dealer who was not an authorized Nikon dealer. The box had the serial number covered and inside the box there was a card saying the warranty was only for 1 year. Returned it and purchased from Helix for the full USA warranty. Cost a few dollars more, but piece of mind for an expensive binocular was worth the few dollars more to me. You can check authorized dealers on the Nikon site under Shopping Help and then Nikon Authorized Dealers.

Product description

The 12x25 Travelite Binocular is a lightweight and compact optic with a powerful magnification to bring distant subjects up close for detailed observations.

It features a fully multi-coated optical path and an ergonomic housing — making it an ideal companion for outdoor enthusiasts, sports spectators, and city sightseers alike.

Combined with a 13 ft close focus distance, this 12x25 binocular is ready for almost any mid- to long-range glassing task.

Responsibly sourced and containing no lead or arsenic, Nikon's Eco-Glass is used in all the lenses and prisms, to be ecologically friendly.

User questions & answers

Question:	I'm looking to buy an eyepiece lens caps and the bigger objective lens caps, please advise
Answer:	Lens caps would help prevent dusts to get to the lens while in storage (they have nothing to do with viewing). Mine when bough came with the eyepiece len caps already,
Question:	Can I use this for night vision
Answer:	You can use them in low light, but they will not make a night scene brighter. A pair with a larger aperture (the second number) like 8x56 will gather more light and provide a better view in low light.
Question:	Going on an Alaskan cruise and would like to get a good pair of binoculars for wildlife excursions. Will these fit my needs
Answer:	We have been very happy with these for travel. I have been to Alaska and I believe these would work well. There are probably better ones out there for $1500, but we thought these were really good.
Question:	What lens caps come with this model? Out of the box (that I got) there are separate caps over the eyepieces, but nothing over the objective lenses up front. The owners manual implies that there are both eyepiece and objective lens caps included but isn't really clear on the subject. The Nikon site is no help. Can anyon
Answer:	There are only eyepiece caps. I don't remember that I even got an owner's manual. However, I really like the binoculars.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this binocualars appropriate for watching birds and wildlife in Alaska
Answer:	Perfect! I have been told the Nikon lenses are the best and these are remarkably clear. The pair I bought are used to watch wildlife too and they will not disappoint. I was followed by a Steller eagle everday on my walks and she was so big I didn't need binoculars. Now I can see every feather! Best of luck in finding some great wildlife!
Question:	Does it come with a case and lens protectors
Answer:	Yes, but’s its a bit lacking. The soft sided case will protect against scratches, and will provide very good protection of the 4 outer lenses should you lose the well designed lens caps...but drop them from not even a table top height and they can get a devastating crack or complete snap off!! considering the quality of the binoculars (5 stars) I would expect something that offers more protection. I’ve had Minolta and other Nikons and the and the industry’s standards have gotten worse....Can’t they bring back the original hard cases?? And bring them back without a huge fee?
Question:	I know nothing about binoculars. Am looking for small,l lightweight to watch granddaughter at indoor gymnastics meets. They move all around
Answer:	these binoculars magnify things 10x greater than your normal vision. For an indoor gymnastics event I would look at something in the 3x - 8x magnification the 42 refers to the field of view. This might be okay for a gym depending on where you are sitting and size of the gym.
Question:	What is the difference between the 8x42 or 10x
Answer:	The first number; that is the 8 or the 10 refers to the magnification value. So, with a 10x42 you can bring things closer than with an 8x42. The 42 refers to the aperture or the size of the opening in the front element. The larger the aperture, the more light and things appear brighter. Choosing really depends on what you're using the binocular for and in what kind of light.
