Nikon Monarch M7 Binoculars 10x42

Product Information

what I found worked for me were the small field optics wings. they helped reduce stray light at the sides when folded out, and I place mine at the lip of the ocular where they add to its circumference as it meets my face even if the wings are folded away.

Our used products are subject to wear and tear in comparison to brand new products. This also applies to accessories that are supplied with the camera including batteries which may have a lower optimum performance level/life expectancy. going to be a comfortable binocular to carry around, so again, unless you are doing mostly stationary birding, go for either the 8x42s or 10x42s. I used them during an evening Bittern survey on April 5th. It was a bright but more or less overcast evening. The Monarchs helped identify my first Swallow of the year 13 minutes after sunset and were differentiating distant shades of green over an hour after sunset. I didn’t hear any booming, but I did see two in-flight Bitterns. Nikon say the close-focus is 2 metres, which is respectable enough. But for me at least, it’s wrong. I could focus this binocular to just under 1.5 metres which is very, very good. Not many binoculars focus closer than that. The most useful magnifications for birding and most wildlife viewing are the 8x42 and 10x42 Nikon Monarch 5 Binoculars because of the field of view and the weight which is heavier with larger objective lens size in the 8.5 x56, 10x56

These Monarch binoculars are light-weight but strong. That is because they are made with polycarbonate resin reinforced with fiberglass. and brighter light conditions and not so much trying to spot smaller birds flitting around in trees, like warblers, or low-light conditions, then you may prefer to get the higher magnification. I have been using this binocular as a car binocular since fall and it has held up under winter conditions flawlessly. On very cold nights I bring it in the house as the focuser stiffens up if it is very cold.Does anyone have any new/current info on the Monarch 7 8 x 30 issues mentioned there? Have there been many more reported cases? Have these issues been seen in current models? memory contours that form to your personal grip and provide optimum traction with soft-grip tactile surface. I accidentally posted the review in the wrong spot🤦 So I guess I’ll just post what I typed there here. A review by All Binos ( source) says that the Zeiss binoculars have a "moderate" amount of chromatic aberrations in the center of view. That's not good.

for recreational birding, and recommend for a mid-priced birding binocular. Nikon Monarch Series and Models Cameras – LCD screen is heavily worn either by de-lamination or has scratches to it.

The Monarch 5 8x42 FOV at 1,000 yards (or 1,000m) is 330 ft (110m) vs 288 ft (96m) in the 10x42. Eye relief on some binoculars goes all the way up to 20 mm--more than enough for all eyeglass wearers. Binoculars with eye relief of less than 15.5, perhaps all the way down to 14 mm or even 12 mm are unusable if you wear eyeglasses. The M series also has a more comfortable streamlined body and improved rubber armoring for better grip and protection against bumps, drops, and kathonks...ohThe weight and dimensions are very similar. The focus wheel moves similarly and very accurately and pleasantly in both binoculars, also ergonomics. But this is where the similarities between them ends.

There’s not much to gripe about so far but what about the view? It’s wide and clean with good colours. There was some vignetting (dark edge shadows) when I scanned, but I don’t think that’s a big deal, and occasional flare/reflections. Wide means wide – the field of view is an impressive 145m@1000m. Sharpness is very good with a smidgeon of peripheral softness perhaps – but nothing that distracts. Brightness is good and chromatic aberration (colour fringing) is very well corrected – the ED glass helps with that. This is a small and lightweight binocular – it only weighs 475g. I like that, but I know people with larger hands (mine aren’t small) might find it too small. The build quality is very good. It’s rubber-armoured, waterproof and ‘fog-free’. I found it good to hold – holding the eyecups against my brow ridge helped me get the best results. The rubber-coated eyecups have good ‘mechanics’ and two intermediate positions. The other contenders for best bird watching binoculars in this price range are all excellent binoculars with wide field of view and good for eyeglass wearers.Compared to the older Monarch 5 and 7 models, the M5 and M7 both have better resolution, wider field of view I think we have a misunderstanding. I'm not a high-power-bino freak. I do have a spotting scope. And you probably going to be surprised, but my choice of it for my needs was actually a compact size (12-36x50 or 15-45x60). Why not bigger and more powerful? First think I'm looking is a "balance". I don't need more power for my needs and compact size was more important to me. But my use of it (plus tripod) is limited, because I like to go birding light. More often just with one bino.
