Almost an ounce lighter than its predecessor and built with Nikon ED (extra-low dispersion) glass lenses, the new MONARCH 5 is a serious contender to be the "go-to" binocular for any outdoor enthusiast. The MONARCH 5 delivers sharp, high-contrast views that are the result of a state-of-the-art optical system. Featuring Nikon's premium ED Glass lenses and Dielectric High-Reflective Multilayer Prism Coatings, the MONARCH 5 displays exceptionally accurate color reproduction and a clear, natural looking image. Each of its Eco-Glass lenses are Fully Multicoated to provide maximum resolution and light transmission. The MONARCH 5 binocular comes in black finish and is available in 8x42, 10x42 and 12x42 magnifications. It utilizes Nikon's high-eye point design to provide a clear field-of-view and long eye-relief. The long eye-relief ensures a sufficient space between the user's face and the binoculars' eyecups to make them comfortable for everyone, even for those wearing eyeglasses. The turn-and-slide rubber eyecups make it easy to find the right eye positioning for extended periods of use. The MONARCH 5 also utilizes a smooth central focus knob that makes it easy to bring object into focus for fast viewing. Built for extreme usage, the MONARCH 5 is Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed, making it completely waterproof and fog proof. A protective, rubber-armored coating strengthens its durability and ensures a non-slip grip during wet and dry conditions.

r/Binoculars

 That way there is no weight put on my neck! Walking with these light bino's is a true pleasure! Lightweight is the way to go; especially if you walk long distances while using them or have neck or upper back problems. 8. The price was great and you really get your money's worth! I have a friend who bought binoculars well over a thousand dollars that are heavy and as I can personally tell, are no better visually or for seeing precise colors than these Monarch 5 binoculars! I bought the 8 x 42's which are better for my eyes and the type of wildlife watching that I like to do! 9. If you watch only things up-close like butterflies, moths, dragonflies or flowers, get a pair of bino's that have a 5 to 6 feet close focus distance

 The case is nice! I don't use the neck strap though as I had neck surgery a few years ago. I bought the ones that go around your shoulders and back. That way there is no weight put on my neck! Walking with these light bino's is a true pleasure! Lightweight is the way to go; especially if you walk long distances while using them or have neck or upper back problems. 8

 It's a personal thing for me about the 8.2 ft close focus distance. Caps are a minor, physical problem with the binocular accessories! Bino's themselves are worth every penny!

 Very lightweight - needed a pair of light bino's for my bad neck and when I walk long distances on trails in parks, refuges and wildlife areas. 2. They are very clear and show good color of the birds and butterflies that I like to study and enjoy! 3. Focus works well

Monarch 5 - 8 x 42's great for bird watching

I'm an avid outdoorsman and have been wanting to get into bird watching, hunting, and just general exploring/tracking of animals. I have never had a good set of binos but have had a couple of \~$30 ones. My dad knew I was looking to get a good pair and he did a bunch of research which landed him on the Monarch 5.

 Viewing the Orion region with either binocular is an inspiring experience, but more so with the Bushnell’s larger FOV. Image brightness of the Nikon and the Bushnell, as judged by the ability to see faint stars in the Orion region, is the same. Unless the Nikon name, lower weight, compactness and close focus are over-riding considerations, the Bushnell, at 30% of the prize of the Nikon, is the much better deal.

 This is very good. The Bushnell FOV is 8.2 degree (65 degree apparent FOV) is considerable larger than that of the Nikon, but the sharpness falls off outside of a 5 degree diameter (64%). When wearing glasses the usable FOV of the Bushnell and the Nikon is the almost the same due to the better eye relief of the Nikon

 The image quality of the Nikon and the Bushnell based on stars is similar and excellent, but the response to making focus adjustments with the Bushnell is not as crisp as with the Nikon.  The much larger separation of the objective lenses of the Bushnell (due to the poro prism design) make for much more 3D viewing of landscapes than with the Nikon (roof prism design). The Nikon and the Bushnell both have a ¼-20 threads to attach to a tripod, but the wider separation of the objective lenses make the attachment to a tripod easier for the Bushnell. The protective eyepiece caps of the Bushnell fit just right, while those of the Nikon are too big and tend to fall off too easily

Nice and compact, but optically only slightly better than the physically larger and heavier Bushnell 8x42

 If you are looking for a pair, I highly recommend you get one with this type of prism instead of the old style (Porro prism) design.

5). Lengthy viewing does not cause any eye strain. The binoculars are lightweight, ergonomic, very good optically, and an outstanding value for a little over $300. They are an excellent choice for a casual user

The main reason I chose this pair was its advertised long eye relief distance. This is the longest distance between the eye and the front of the eyepiece that still gives the full field of view. It's especially important for short sighted people like myself because our eyeglasses add an additional optical element to the system, considerably extending its length (an alternative is to remove the glasses, but it is less convenient and one loses correction for astigmatism). I found this pair's eye relief more than sufficient for my prescription (which is close to -4

Excellent for eyeglass wearers

Full-size performance in a compact-sized body. Full-size performance in a compact-sized body. All A Series binoculars offer you impeccable viewing quality in a compact, portable and durable design, so you can enjoy carrying convenience without compromising performance.

Compact binocs aren’t the best for birding, but these combine pocket-size convenience with enough magnification to actually identify things.

 The edges were always indistinct and blurry. The Pentax has longer eye relief and eye cups that quickly telescope out for spectacles-free viewing, and retract for eyeglass wearers. Way better than chintzy fold-down eye cups. With the Pentax I get the full, clear field of view with sharp edges

  Also the Pentax is fog proof and waterproof, rated submersible to one meter for 30 minutes. One drawback I see is that the Pentax is a bit larger and heavier than my old Nikons, but I think this can be attributed to superior build quality and optics. The green color is dark green, which reads as almost black. Now the question is, "How will this glass hold up over time?"  Added info: After doing more research, I believe this Pentax is roughly equivalent to the Nikon Trailblazer model, which is also waterproof and has telescoping eye cups with similar size and weight, but the Nikon only has 10 mm of eye relief while the Pentax has 21mm eye relief--much better for eyeglass wearers

I prefer 8x magnification over 10x because 8x provides a significantly larger field of view, which makes it easier to find targets in the glass.

I like this glass!

 I like that there is practically no distortion at the edges. The focus wheel is steady and sure. The eye relief is above what anyone would expect in a pair of compact binoculars. Although slightly heavier than some, they are easy to grip without causing my hand to cramp

I have been looking for a pair of lightweight travel binoculars that I could easily carry in my backpack. These were recommended by Wirecutter, and the price was good. So I bought them and am very happy. While not as bright as my 8x42 pair, they are surprising bright

Excellent Performance for Price and Size

 I had no fears nor problems with them in bad weather. No problems with them misting up (e.g. if you move indoors from cold outdoors) * Rubber armour helps protect against light damage - but not a (relatively small I should add) drop to hard ground! * Easy to adjust for spectacles if needed - twist eye pieces

  I think I will stick with a monocular for carrying out and about in a pocket. While I use larger, regular binoculars I do not think I will buy another small/folding binocular.

 * Well, the rubber armour did not protect against a knock causing a misalignment. * The case is OK and you could fit it to your belt but extracting the binocular and putting it back is a two-handed job so I found I mostly kept them in a jacket pocket.  I think I will stick with a monocular for carrying out and about in a pocket. While I use larger, regular binoculars I do not think I will buy another small/folding binocular

Excellent but fragile

 Users without eyeglasses should find these much easier to use.  I use these primarily for backpacking as they are lightweight and good quality, especially for the price. Nearly all other times I use my 8x42 Nikon Monarch 7's.  Would purchase again

Difficult to Use with Eyeglasses.

These are great portable binos. We have larger, better binoculars to carry when our only goal on a walk is birdwatching, but it's nice to have a smaller, lighter, more compact pair that can be stashed in a handbag or kept in the glove compartment such that they're always handy. My husband and I both wear eyeglasses, and the eye relief on these is enough for us both to use these without having to remove the glasses first. A big win

Great for eyeglass wearers.

 The rain cover is pathetic and you will want to replace it. The main optic covers are ok, but seriously lacking. You will want to tie them to the binoculars with string so you don't lose them. Unfortunately the front cross member makes it impossible to use most aftermarket lens covers

Excellent optics

 I took them on a trip to Nunavut, riding around on ATVs looking for polar bears. The size fit right in my pocket and they were perfect for spotting bears way across water and tracking them. Any stronger and they'd be too shaky to hand hold or too big to bring along with my other camera gear. The open bridge is also perfect for getting a good grip

 Any stronger and they'd be too shaky to hand hold or too big to bring along with my other camera gear. The open bridge is also perfect for getting a good grip. My only complaint, and it's kind of big and the reason these don't get 5 stars is the lens caps are utterly useless. They don't attach to the lens when on and when off they don't attach either so you have to pocket them

 My only complaint, and it's kind of big and the reason these don't get 5 stars is the lens caps are utterly useless. They don't attach to the lens when on and when off they don't attach either so you have to pocket them. I'm trying to devise my own caps that stay on to protect the lens when in your pocket but can be flipped off easy and dangle from the binos so you need not worry about losing them. Anyway I got these new for $235 so it's still an amazing deal

Great quality and build for the price

A very fine instrument ideal for carrying in an anorak pocket or slung around the neck via the lanyard as it suits.  I purchased this binocular to replace a Leica 8x20 that became "waterlogged" and proved beyond repair. The Leica are priced a 3 to 4 times that of the Pentax 8x25; the only attribute worthy of the Leica is its more compact size but for the rest you are paying for the "name".  Incidentally, as a practicing astronomer I have wide experience of optical equipment owning instruments by Carl Zeiss et al
