- The Nikon Monarchs are fully loaded roof prism binoculars at an incredibly attractive price. Nikon's exclusive Eco-Glass (made without the use of arsenic or lead) is used for all lens and prism elements, and the prisms feature phase-correction and high reflection mirror coatings for superior sharpness and resolution. Every air-to-glass surface received multiple anti-reflective coatings, resulting in much improved brightness, resolution and edge-to-edge sharpness.

User Reviews for
Nikon 8.5X56 MONARCH ATB WP BINOCULAR
- By virtuaoski 06/13/2007
- Pros:
Compact roof prism design (relatively compact for a 56mm objective lens diameter). Comfortable to hold. Great price. Excellent low light performance. - Cons:
Heavier and longer than the other Monarch binoculars. Poor lens covers. -
Summary:
This binoculars has all of the winning features of the highly-reviewed Nikon Monarch 8x42. Great image quality, no distortion, fogproof and waterproof, and great ergonomics. It is also not that much more expensive than the 8x42. At about $300 street (compared to $250 for the 8x42), you're getting a lot of glass for the money. I was deciding between buying this or the Nikon Monarch 8x42. Eventually, I decided to bear the extra bulk and weight of the 8.5x56 so that I could also use it at night when I go boating. The 8.5x56 is more bulky and twice the weight of the 8x42, but it pays off for night performance. Highly recommended.
