Nikon Monarch 12x42 DCF Binoculars

Typically mid-priced 12 power nature observation binoculars suffer from shaky images that are not terribly sharp to the edge of your field of view. The increased power over an 8x or 10x binocular often means their performance in low light situations is also noticably inferior.

The Nikon Monarch 12 x 42 provides the sharpest image closer to the outside edge and is the most well balanced 12 power binocular we've ever come across in this price range. This is due to the Nikon Monarch III now including dielectric high-reflective multilayer prism coating for brighter, sharper colours, and improved low-light performance and a redesigned body that is particularly well balanced.

The Nikon Monarch 12 x 42 is far and away the best 12 power binocular we've ever come across in the under $500 price range range.

• Waterproof seals keep optics safe from water damage.
• Fog proof with nitrogen purging prevents fogging of internal lenses as you go from one temperature extreme to the other.
• Contoured rubber armor gives you a comfortable, sure grip while shielding the optics from rough handling.

Nikon Technology at work
You'll be more than satisfied with bright views throughout the day with Nikon optical know-how at work behind the scenes.

• Phase corrected roof prisms deliver sharper images with higher contrast.
• Fully multi-coated optics increase light transmission and improve image quality.
• High index Eco-glass uses no lead or arsenic in production — better for the health of the environment.

Nikon's use of environmentally friendly Eco-Glass has another advantage — it weighs less than the leaded glass traditionally used in binoculars.

• Turn and slide eyecups adjust easily for viewing the full field of view when wearing eyeglasses.
• Large centre focus wheel responds smoothly as you follow wildlife in motion.
