Nikon - Monarch 5 8x42 Binoculars - Black

Excellent bird watching binoculars!!! I researched this purchase relentlessly for months only to have them out of stock when I finally decided to purchase them - which sadly meant I did NOT get to enjoy the beautiful hummingbirds this season :( However I have spent hours examining spiders make their webs and birds nestle down and squirrels taunt my dog with such clarity, such beauty that I cannot express enough through words. A must see for yourself. WORTH EVERY PENNY and I really didn't want to spend that much!

We researched a long time hoping to pick the right binoculars for our birdwatching past time. Many reviewers recommended the Nikon Monarch 5's. We have been very happy with these. They are much better than the inexpensive binoculars we had before. Wish we had bought these much sooner than we did.

Most bird watching or outdoor enthusiasts know the high quality and performance of Nikon Monarch's. For those that may not, Nikon Monarch's are the very best binocular for the price available anywhere. To get slightly better performance would cost 2 to 3 times more, and the difference is negligible. Paying a little less for some new entrant or off brand isn't a wise choice in my opinion either. These will last a lifetime with proper care.

These are by far the best binoculars I've owned. Not the best of course but in my budget and lots of positive reviews and users on YouTube. The home delivery was awesome as well.

Used these after my Celestrons broke for the third time. I was a bit leery about going from a 50mm objective to a 42mm, but I shouldn't have been - these are much brighter and provide a better field of view. I've used them at night to see deep into the woods far better than I could with my naked eye, and spent a week spotting wildlife with them in Central America - I would highly recommend.

A wonderful pair of binoculars for nature watching, sports watching, and even star gazing! We have had many pairs of binoculars, but the Monarch is the cadillac! They fit the hands so well, and the safety features are terrific!! Highly recommended!!

This product is excellent for the average birder. You can't beat the price-to-quality ratio. I have been very pleased; although at first I was taken aback by the movement issues. When I learned how to pull out the eye cap a notch, the movement issues went away.

I bought a cheap pair of binoculars in Ketchikan, Alaska and regretted from then until now that I didn’t get the Nikon Monarch I just bought! Imagine traveling in Alaska with cheesy binox! My sister has had a pair of Nikons for years and has urged me to go for the gusto; so I donated my other pair and ordered these. I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER!! Now I just have to get back to Alaska!!
