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. The objective lens size of the new 56mm Monarch also translates into an exit pupil designed to enhance low light performance. Nikon's 10x56 offers an amazing 5.6mm exit pupil and 31.4 relative brightness index. 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, 17.4mm in the 10x56, allow the binocular 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. 100% Waterproof/Fogproof Ultra rugged, rubber-armored design Phase-correction coated high index prisms Precision aligned optics for extended viewing Extended eye relief and central focus for viewing convenience Fully Multicoated lenses for bright, clear images Click-stop turn-and-slide eyecups for easy usage Select a Protection Plan
