Leica Monovid 8 x 20 Monocular with Leather Case (Black);

The Monovid 8 x 20 with 8 x magnification fits in your jacket, shirt, or trouser pocket. It is light, robust, and brilliantly easy to use, making it the perfect take-anywhere companion.

Thanks to its accessory close-up lens, you can view objects at distances as close as 10 –12 in which is perfect for viewing butterflies and insects. Simply screwing this accessory to the front lens produces a macro effect that lets you identify even the finest structures.

The Monovid can be used as a mini-telescope, 1/2 a binocular, or a macroscope. Its light, small, stealthy, and quite luxurious - whether you're scoping a performer on stage, birding, or investigating the insects - you'll be glad you didn't leave home without it.

When not in use, the lens can be safely stored in the leather case provided. Inside the Monovid's elegant leather carry case there's a special pocket for a very special attachment - the close-up lens. Installing this accessory onto the monocular allows viewers to achieve 8x magnification at distances as close as 9.8"/ 25 cm - this macro-effect viewing is excellent for observing the finest details that are often impossible to see through larger optics.

Naturally, it is also a choice among all who appreciate elegantly designed, high-quality optics.
