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

The Monovid 8 x 20 with 8 x magnification is the perfect take-anywhere companion, fitting easily into your jacket, shirt, or trouser pocket. This light, robust, and brilliantly easy-to-use monocular is a versatile optical device that can be used as a mini-telescope, 1/2 a binocular, or a macroscope.

Thanks to its accessory close-up lens, the Monovid allows you to view objects at distances as close as 10–12 inches, making it perfect for observing butterflies and insects. Screwing this accessory to the front lens produces a macro effect that lets you identify even the finest structures.

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 this very special close-up lens attachment. Installing this accessory onto the monocular allows viewers to achieve 8x magnification at distances as close as 9.8"/ 25 cm, providing excellent macro-effect viewing for observing the finest details that are often impossible to see through larger optics.

The Monovid's light, small, and stealthy design makes it a choice among all who appreciate elegantly designed, high-quality optics. Whether you're scoping a performer on stage, birding, or investigating insects, you'll be glad you didn't leave home without it.
