PENTAX Monocular VM 6x21 WP Easy to use with just one hand.Universal design that is ergonomically easy to operate. Bright and clear view with high contrast and excellent optical performance.Waterproof

Brilliant focuser design - very smooth and easy to operate one handed. The 6x magnification makes for steady viewing with the view being crisp edge to edge. The build is solid and the monocular fits my hand well.The macro lens is easy to adjust for close vs distance viewing. As the macro lens is integrated, you don’t have the bother of screwing and unscrewing it when you want to go between distance viewing and macro viewing.I much prefer this to my 8x36 monocular as the field of view is larger and there is less shaking if the image.

Fantastic! Provides a very crisp-to-the-edge image. Great eye relief makes for comfortable viewing for this eyeglass wearer. The focusing mechanism is surprisingly precise and holds its position when your fingers are moved off the focus lever. Close focus (4.5ft) is amazing, making toe-gazing possible! as well as viewing insects that might fly, should you get closer! Highly recommended if you are juggling a camera and magnifier around your neck and would prefer not to add the weight of a midsize pair of binoculars to the mix. (Good binoculars absolutely have their place in nature watching, but when photography is the goal, a small, widefield monocular may serve the purpose of finding your photographic target.) My only disappointment is that Pentax did not include lens caps with this fine optic. I measure the eyepiece outer rubber ring diameter as 28.4-28.5mm. The objective outer ring is 36.2-36.4mm. I found that a 28.5mm ID lens cap is perfect for the eyepiece. I could only acquire a 36mm ID cap for the objective. (see photo) It fits a bit too snug. Once on, neither cap will fall off. I am hoping to purchase a 36.3 mm ID cap when they become available. A good place to look for these caps is Agenaastro, etc.Update: For the objective lens, a 36.3 mm cap would be perfect (I think), but that size seems to be on perpetual backorder at Agenaastro. Instead, I purchased a 36.5 mm cap (orange color). As expected, it fit a little loosely so I tightened it up with a thin, smooth layer of GOOP on the inner shoulder of the cap (perfection is not necessary...just keep it thin, you can always add more). The modified cap fits perfectly! It will not fall off; it only comes off (without difficulty) when you take it off.

Got the monocular for reading network labels off the ceiling at work (tiny labels 6 feet above our heads). FANTASTIC for this purpose. The clarity through the optics is amazing, and the control on the focus is super precise. Our whole team is very, very impressed. We got the kit that turns it into a microscope and are very impressed with that too although we haven't had a 'real' use for it yet. But pretty sure it will serve well when the time comes. One complaint is the holster that comes with it is pretty much pointless. It is cleverly designed so the monocle can be used while it is still in the case, however it is shortsightedly designed with only a belt loop rather than a clip. So you can use it in the case if you want to take your belt off... It also provides no lens protection, AND in combination with that, getting it in or out of the holster pretty much leads to fingers on lenses unless you are super careful about it. None of us can think of a reason why a person would want to use it with the holster on it anyway. We are a diverse group with many hand sizes and it fits well in the hand for any of us. So, I wish there was an option for a clip on holster with flap so the lenses were protected. We could then pass it around easily, and also put it in a backpack when done without fear of lens damage.

Very ergonomic. Light. Great optics. Used for general surveillance and sight seeing. Recommended.

Excellent optics. Smooth one-handed focus. I own a dozen monoculars, and this is one of the best.

It’s very helpful especilly during my treks

Bought this for my trip to peru.Get to the top of machu pechu and the focus button breaks off the top!This moment is what I bought it in the first place! Seams to be held on by a drop of rubber cement.Was able to haphazardly use it and realized it had a pretty decent clear lens but try something built better.

Good images near and far. Very lightweight, fits in shorts or coat pocket. Easy to use one-handed.
