Zeiss 6x18 T* Design Selection Monocular

The push-pull focus takes awhile to get used to, but this is a pretty good scope. I have two other scopes, both 8X (a Leica Monovid and a Minox Minoscope, which are both more solid than the Zeiss.) The Zeiss is the most compact of the three and the close focus is very nice.

This is a very well-made product, with about the best glass in its category. I like the wide range of available magnifications and objectives Zeiss offers. I take this everywhere now.

The optical quality is supreme. Zero complaints. Between the optical quality and the light weight nature of this monocular, it is perfect for what I need.

Awesome tool. I use it for checking stock on the farm. The clarity of the image is amazing and the size is perfect for carrying in you pocket. It isn't cheep but I expect this to provide exceptional service over a lift time. Very happy with the purchase.

This monocular is just as advertised the close focus down to 30cm (one foot) is excellent, sharp and bright. It's clearly optimized for close focus as the view of distant objects is not quite as good. While excellent in the center of the field, the view rapidly becomes less sharp toward the edges.

I purchased this item primarily for use in the theatre and at concerts, the compact dimensions make it easy to carry in a jacket pocket. It seemed expensive in comparison to other similar products however the Zeiss brand is synonymous with quality and optical precision.
