Good Optics, Size, Needs Second Lens Cap

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.

FEATURED REVIEWS

Quality in your hand.

When only the best will do. Beautiful piece, love it.

With the Leica Monovid 8x20 Monocular, experience the fusion of high-end technology and elegant design. This compact and versatile monocular is your perfect companion for birdwatching, hiking, attending concerts, or watching sports. Its 8x magnification power ensures clear and detailed viewing of distant objects, making it a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts.

One of its standout features is the close-up converter lens, which allows for detailed observation of objects as close as 25-30 cm. This is ideal for macro viewing of insects and butterflies, revealing even the finest details. This accessory can be easily screwed onto the front lens, transforming your monocular into a macro viewer in seconds. When not in use, the lens can be safely stored in the provided leather case, ensuring it remains protected.

The case itself is a testament to thoughtful design, featuring a silent magnetic fastener that won't disturb wildlife. The monocular's rugged aluminum body is nitrogen-filled to prevent misting, and its lenses are treated with an AquaDuraTM coating, repelling water and dirt.

Unlike other monoculars, the Leica Monovid 8x20 is not just splash-proof but fully waterproof up to a depth of 5m (16.5 ft). This makes it a reliable tool for all-weather outdoor use, ensuring a perfect view regardless of the conditions.

Weighing in at just 112g (under 6 oz), this high-quality monocular is incredibly lightweight and compact. It easily fits into any jacket pocket, ready to be at your fingertips whenever you need it. The Monovid 8x20 comes complete with an elegant leather case that features a special compartment for the close-up lens, keeping it safe when not in use. Experience the world in greater detail with the Leica Monovid 8x20 Monocular.
