Zeiss 6x18 T* Mono

This is the neatest little monocular to have both a good distance depth and a brilliant close focus - perfect for looking at pictures in galleries in minute detail. The service from Castle Cameras was outstanding, too: going the extra mile to dispatch to the West Highlands without a punitive surcharge,

Good Points: so easy to always cary with you pin-sharp bright optics just as good on walks as in an art gallery if you want just one optical device - this is it Improvement Points: a bit expensive - but you pay for what you get

Good Points: Fabulous piece of kit. Small and easily portable. Beautiful clarity. Bright and clear image right to the edges. Push-Pull focus. I bought this mainly for close-up viewing (bugs, flowers, etc) because I already have a Zeiss 10x. It turns out that for close-ups the magnification is 9x. The view image is quite stunning. Improvement Points: None.

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.
