The Nikon 8x42 Monarch 5 Binoculars (Black) you will find extra-low dispersion glass elements with ant-reflection fully multicoated optics and highly reflective dielectric-coated and phase-corrected roof prisms. Their 8x magnification brings subjects up close, but without the noticeable handshake often associated with higher power optics, while the 42mm objectives boost their light-gathering ability to improve views in challenging light such as during the pre-dawn and late evening hours or in foggy and cloudy weather.
