Nikon New 56mm Nikon Monarch ATB Offers Impeccable Brightness And Precision

When extreme low light performance is critical, nothing can compare to a set of really large objective lenses on a hunting binocular-unless it's that big glass on a Nikon Monarch ATB™. For nearly a decade, Nikon's ATB (All Terrain Binocular) line has earned a reputation among serious hunters for superb optics, incredible ruggedness and extraordinary value. For 2006, Nikon furthers that reputation with the introduction of a new 56mm objective Monarch ATB that possesses the same features and specifications as its popular 42mm brethren but offers the largest objective lens in Nikon's roof prism binocular line-up.

"Nikon's Monarch Binoculars have always impressed me and with the new 56mm offerings they truly have a binocular for any type of hunting," said Tom Miranda, host of Advantage Adventures on ESPN2. "I can't wait to put them to work in the field."

The objective lens size of the new 56mm Monarch also translates into an exit pupil designed to enhance low light performance. Nikon's 8.5x56 offers an amazing 6.6mm exit pupil and 43.6 relative brightness index, the 10x56 has a 5.6 exit pupil with 31.4 in relative brightness, and the 12x56 a 4.7mm exit pupil with 22.1 in relative brightness.

As with the entire Nikon Monarch family, the new 56mm Monarch ATB line is fully waterproof and fogproof and features fully multicoated lenses for maximum light transmission and image quality. The new ATBs incorporate Nikon's exclusive Eco-Glass (made without the use of arsenic or lead) for all lens and prism elements. Prisms feature phase-correction coatings and high reflection mirror coatings for superior sharpness and resolution.

Ergonomic styling, mated with a rubber armored exterior, provides added shock resistance and a firm grip, wet or dry to the 7.8 x 5.7-inch Monarch. Turn and slide rubber eyecups, complemented by long eye relief (19.2mm in the 8.5x56, 17.4mm in the 10x56, 16.3mm in the 12x56), allow the binoculars to be used as comfortably by eyeglass wearers as those with uncorrected vision. A large central focus wheel and adjustable diopter make focus easy to achieve and maintain, even while wearing gloves.

The 56mm Monarch line is priced at $379.95 for the 8.5x56, $399.95 for the 10x56, and $429.95 for the 12x56. The new Monarch ATB binoculars will be available at sporting goods dealers and firearms retailers nationwide. Like all Nikon binoculars, the Monarch ATBs are covered by Nikon's 25-year limited warranty and the exclusive No-Fault Repair/Replacement policy.

Nikon Inc. is the U.S. distributor of Nikon sports and recreational optics, world-renowned Nikon 35mm cameras, digital cameras, speedlights and accessories, Nikkor lenses and electronic imaging products.
