I got really into the pocket monocular recently.
Bought two Zeiss Turmon 8x21 and an Eschenbach 8x21.
The Zeiss being old still has great optics. The Eschenbach (seems to be a copy of the Docter) is made of plastic and has quite a bad quality finish. Many defects on the outside and the focusing lens is quite wobbly, which is the difference between having half the image in focus and half not. (https://youtu.be/tNDOm5GtqRA )
I do want a Docter 8x21 but cant justify the brand new price when the Zeiss is half price and has great optics and a sturdy build.
Show me your pocket monocular and what are your thoughts.
