Nikon Monarch 7 Binoculars Review

First let me say that conducting the research and tests for this Nikon Monarch 7 binoculars review was truly a pleasure.

I have always been a fan of the Nikon Monarch Series, so I was very excited to review the Monarch 7 when I saw that Nikon has introduced it as the "Greatest Monarch Ever".

In our search for the best hunting binoculars, the Monarch 7 is very high on the list.

The Nikon Monarch 7 is available in both 8x42 and 10x42 models, as well as others, but we will focus on the 8x42 and 10x42 as those are the best all around choices for hunting binoculars.

Let's take a look at the features of the Nikon Monarch 7 and see why they are being touted as the Greatest Monarch Ever.

• What really sets the Nikon Monarch 7 apart from the rest of the field is that it combines the use of the extra-low dispersion (ED) glass with Nikon’s special coatings for its prisms and lenses. These include the Dielectric Multilayer Coatings for lens and prism surfaces, so that in effect it’s like seeing things brighter than you would with your naked eye. You also get phase-correction coatings on the prisms so that you get a sharp resolution and contrast while colors are rendered accurately.
• The Nikon Monarch 7 is also extremely durable, as it has rubber armor coating to protect the binoculars from shock and impact. The armor coating is also very comfortable to hold in your hands.
•  The Monarch 7 is also completely waterproof and fogproof.
• Wide Field of View - The FOV at 1000 yards is an impressive 420 feet in the 8x42 and 351 feet in the 10x42.
• The close focus distance is also impressive at 8.2 feet for both the 8x42 and 10x42 models
• The exit pupil is 5.3mm in the 8x42 and 4.2mm in the 10x42.
• The Monarch 7 features an ergonomically designed, smooth central focus knob.
• They also feature multi-setting click eyecups for custom eye relief. This is extremely important if you wear eyeglasses or sunglasses while hunting.
• They are sized to fit well in your hand and lightweight, with the 8x42 weighing in at 22.9 ounces and the 10x42 weighing in at 23.6 ounces.
• They come with tethered objective lens covers. No more losing your lens covers!
