Disappointing optics - Brunton LITE-TECH 8x22 Waterproof Monocular

Having read some positive reviews about the optics of this monocular I thought it was worth $25 to find out. It might be good for children, or someone who will use it near water. Other than that, I would save up another $25 and get a Vortex solo (also waterproof) for $50. I would spent $2 for a box of Cracker Jacks and hope the prize was a little telescope, as the optics would be as good as this Bruton. I have a pair of Bruton binoculars and think favorably about their construction and optics. This monocular gives such poor image quality and is so cheaply constructed, I am surprised Bruton put their name on it.
Pros: Nice size, weight, waterproof
Cons: poor optics, tight & squeaky focus
