Nikon Monarch M7 10x42

Nikon Monarch M7 10x42 binoculars are designed for users who want a sharp, bright and natural-looking image when observing birds, wildlife, landscapes, sports, marine activities or the night sky. The 10x magnification brings distant subjects closer, while the 42 mm objective lenses help maintain strong light transmission in different viewing conditions. The optical system uses ED glass, which helps reduce chromatic aberration and colour fringing. Fully multilayer-coated lenses and prisms, together with dielectric high-reflective prism coating and phase-correction coating, deliver a bright, high-contrast image with natural colour reproduction.
