Eden ED luxurious bag for x42 binoculars

This monocular, an optic intended for use with only one eye, is incredibly compact, which makes it ideal for easy carry. And despite its compact size, this Leica Monovid is of excellent quality, just as you would expect from any Leica product. Both mechanically and optically, this monocular is a top-quality item.

This **Leica MONOVID 8x20 monocular** combines years of optical experience into binoculars for one eye. As such the Leica Monovid is very compact and lightweight. If you, for instance, go for a walk you will always have room in your pocket for this monocular.

Despite its compact size this Monovid has the quality you have grown accustomed to from Leica. Both mechanically and optically speaking this pair of binoculars belongs to the best of the best. It is, however, important to realise that smaller sized optics have a smaller exit pupil and a somewhat lower twilight factor. Properties that are noticeable in dark conditions.

You can extend the ocular. With it you determine the distance your eye needs to the back lens. In general you don't extend it if you are wearing glasses. Not a spectacle wearer? Extend the ocular to make sure you have a little more distance to the back lens.

Its close focus lens allows you to focus from a short distance, making this Monovid also ideal for viewing insects.

The Leica Monovid 8x20 monocular comes with a luxurious leather sheath.

De Monovid is een zeer goede kijker. Het beeld is prachtig, natuurlijk, zeer scherp en detailrijk. De kijker is zeer compact, handzaam en licht. De bouwkwaliteit en afwerking zijn helemaal wat je van Leica verwacht. Topklasse.

Het compromis van 'een mono' blijkt in de praktijk veel kleiner dan verwacht. De gezichtshoek op 1000 meter is slechts 3 meter smaller dan de optisch vergelijkbare Ultravid 8 x 20 stereokijker. Maar de Monovid is wel ruim de helft kleiner én ruim de helft lichter. Na een paar uur wennen is het gebruik eigenlijk net zo vanzelfsprekend en sneller dan een stereo-kijker. Kijken met twee ogen open lijkt onnatuurlijk maar werkt ook verbazend goed. Tijdens 3 dagen North Sea Jazz festival blijken de prestaties in het donker ook meer dan uitstekend.

Zoek je en hele goede compacte en lichte kijker die je letterlijk in je broek- of jaszak meeneemt en tijdens het gebruik nauwelijks opvalt (hij verdwijnt vrijwel geheel in je hand als nodig) is de Monovid echt een aanrader.

GÉNIAL!!!!
Monoculaire ultra-compact, discret, image d'une clarté remarquable (bien évidemment aucune aberration chromatique) finition haut de gamme et je ne parle même pas de la lentille macro qui apporte encore un atout supplémentaire. 
Bref que du +++++++ à en faire oublier son prix:)

prism_system

The prism ensures that the image is projected upright onto the eye. Read more about [roof prisms](/en/ct/binoculars-glossary-roof-prism.htm) and [porro prisms](/en/ct/binoculars-glossary-porro-prism.htm). 

Prism system

tripod_mountable

If the binoculars are tripod compatible, there is a cap in the front of the binoculars. You can remove this cap and place the binoculars on a tripod adapter. The whole is placed on a tripod. With a tripod you prevent your hand from shaking. As such you have a more stable image. 

Tripod mountable

value_close_focus

The close focus is the shortest distance at which you can focus your binoculars. An important specification if you want to study insects and butterflies.

Close focus

The front lens is the front lens of the objective. The diameter of the front lens is used to calculate the exit pupil, the twilight number and the brightness of the binoculars. [Read more about front lens diameter](/en/ct/binoculars-glossary-front-lens.htm).

value_exit_pupil_diam

The exit pupil is basically the circle of light produced by the binoculars that the eye has to catch. The exit pupil is calculated as follows: diameter / magnification. [Read more about exit pupil diameter](/en/ct/binoculars-glossary-exit-pupil.htm). 

Exit pupil diameter

value_eye_relief

Eye relief is the distance between the ocular lens and the exit pupil. Eye relief is particularly important for people who wear glasses because their eyes are situated further from the eye piece than people who do not wear glasses.
