    Pentax VM 6x21 WP Monocular/ 18x Microscope

    Interesting! It looks just like the Pentax VM 6x21 WP. I really like mine. It is great to use one handed. I bought a Lowepro Dashpoint 10 Camera Bag that fits it perfect and wear it on my waist when I ride my road bike. I didn't care for the partial protection provided by the included case...

    Pentax VM 6x21 WP Monocular/ 18x Microscope

    The Focuser on this monocular works very well. In fact, it is easy to use one handed and focus at the same time. I would never go back to the old focus system on monoculars.

    Pentax VM 6x21 WP Monocular/ 18x Microscope

    It fits your hand perfectly and you just push down on either end of it to focus. It is really fast and easy and the focusing is accurate. Much faster and easier than a knob rotating focuser. It almost makes me wish binoculars had a focuser like this monocular does. Very cool!

    Pentax VM 6x21 WP Monocular/ 18x Microscope

    Pentax VM 6x21 WP Monocular/ 18x Microscope

    Yes, but the Minox Macro scope 8x25 is essentially a two handed optic, whereas, the Pentax VM 6x21 WP Monocular can be used in one hand. That for me is the big draw. Also, the Minox Macro scope 8x25 only has a 6.5 degree FOV and 12 mm of eye relief, whereas, the Pentax VM 6x21 WP Monocular has...

    Pentax VM 6x21 WP Monocular/ 18x Microscope

    Just for the fact that it is roof prism design and I like the ergonomics and the way it is focused so you can use it with only one hand. It is also much smaller than the 6.5x21 Papilio and 1/2 the weight and has a bigger FOV of 8.2 degrees @430 feet versus the Papilio's 7.5 degrees @ 393 feet...

    Pentax VM 6x21 WP Monocular/ 18x Microscope

    I preordered the Pentax VM 6x21 WP Monocular. It seems very interesting. I will give some feedback when I get it.
