This is a good little monocular. I would have given 5 stars, but it only comes with one lens cap so you need to keep in its case. I've ordered a third party second cap which I hope fits and which would let me keep in my pocket without the big leather case. Also, the macro lens attachment is screwed to the case lid so removing is quite a bit of effort and a bit contortionist.
