Review: Excellent quality & compact size! - I have two of these. I have one at home and use it to watch birds, deer, ducks, foxes and other wildlife on my property. The second one, I use for work inspecting utility poles. It’s light enough to carry without lugging me down and slip right into and out of a pocket with ease. The 10x magnification and stability is great for reading the names and numbers on overhead tags. It’s easy to use and pretty rugged with the rubber exterior. It is difficult to fog up and the optics are crystal clear. They are pricey but if you’re looking for a quick, rugged, clear & compact optic, this one works really well!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with a lens cover?**
A: No but I bought a flip up cover for mine. It does come with a carry pouch.

**Q: What is the eye relief (for someone who wears glasses)?**
A: Eye relief for the 8x36 is 18mm, which is probably the best choice for someone wearing glasses (and the reason I chose that particular model)

**Q: Does this ship from Vortex or a retailer?  Thanks**
A: A retailer.

**Q: Does this monocular have an "infinity"? i.e. is there a distance beyond which you no longer have to focus?  If so, how far out is it?**
A: I focused mine at 100 yards and anything further is in focus.  I have viewed items at a closer distance, say to 25 yards, and it is still in focus. Hope this helps.

Can never go wrong with vortex but this thing is amazing easily fits in a pocket not bulky like binoculars. Nice clear view easy to focus

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impressive quality and design for value
*by D***K on January 16, 2013*

I bought this for a friend who runs coursing hounds in the desert Southwest, and after a month of using the optic to track her dogs she is very happy. It replaced her toy-quality monocular and the difference in image quality and sharpness are vast. She keeps it on a lanyard around her neck where it is accessible but not heavy. I found it to be sharp, compact enough to carry easily, and not difficult to hold steady. The image quality and brightness are very close to my early-90s Pentax 8x40 roof prism binos, which are all glass, fully coated and heavy. This is very impressive; the Vortex lens coatings really are good. The solid eyecup has a click-stop for eyeglasses and the optics have just enough eye relief to give a full field view. Not having a rubber eyecup is a good idea for something that will be tossed around and pocketed, as is the soft rubber exterior covering. Focus is stiff (maybe due to weather seals?) and not an easy one-handed operation, though there are spikes on the focus collar to improve your grip. Focus might loosen up with use. The soft fins on the rubber grip don't seem to be functional, and will probably catch lint, dirt and other crap with use, but that is about all I can criticize. I bought this and a cheaper Brunton monocular at the same time, and where the Vortex is a completely useful, quality tool that I would recommend to anyone who doesn't have ultimate expectations, the Brunton was much dimmer and wouldn't even focus to infinity so had to be returned. I think it's arguable that the price of the Vortex 8x25 is the least one can expect to pay for a truly functional optic. Based on my late 2012 survey of the alternatives, without spending triple or more the amount, you won't get the significant increase in quality you're looking for. Cheers.
