Just received a new Monovid. Takes a little getting used to but the image resolution is nothing short of amazing. Although the field of view is 110m at 1000m which is as wide as 10x40s and 10x50s, the apparent viewing angle in the tube still seems quite narrow by comparison. That must just be the way the optics are set up because the field is actually as wide as the specs state. It therefore isn't difficult to locate objects once you've got the nack of using it. I have the cap strung on a cable-tie so it automatically blocks out my left eye when in use and I am really growing to like it.
