Compared to other monoculars (NC Star & Brunton), this Barska Monocular is by far the best. It has a huge 40mm objective lense and 10X power. I prefer using this monocular over binoculars for hunting due to its size and light weight, magnification, and FOV. The only thing better would if it had a variable zoom like 4-12X. Sometimes trying to find a bird in a tree at 10X is a bit difficult. Overall great monocular for the price. Nice job Barksa!

Pros:  decent optics, (relatively) compact, solid, seems to be well made, smooth mechanism, focuses close as claimed
Cons:  not quite as bright as you'd expect from 40mm coated objective lens, ever so slightly out of focus at long range, need to find the 'sweet spot' for best viewing
Would recommend:  yes

This is a good piece of glass (plastic?) for the price and surprisingly clear. I haven't noticed any spherical aberration in the image. It is a little darker than I expected for a 40mm objective but it may just be tinting from the coatings. You have to find the 'sweet spot' to eliminate the chromatic aberration around the edges of dark objects against a bright background (or vice verse) - but at least the 'sweet spot' is there. There is just enough fuzziness that you can't read street signs at 600 yards but you unless you're TRYING to read street signs at 600 yards you'd never notice. This may sound pretty critical but I'm really just nit-picking, I'm actually impressed with this optic. Overall it seems to be good quality, time will tell if it stands up in the field. Surprisingly good for the price and definitely worth it.

Very clear scope, easy to use, but not water proof. Sometimes will not focus at advertised 7 feet distance. Best monocular for the money though.

I have only one good eye, so binoculars don't help me, and this monocular had good power, and was light and easy to use.
