The Zeiss has 16mm. The Minox is also a little bigger than the Zeiss although it is still small. How are the optics on it especially at the edge? With it's close focus the Minox would be better for insect observation but I don't use my monocular in that way. The reviews at Amazon are somewhat spotty on the Minox at a shade over three-stars. Some people didn't like it for one reason or another but you can take that with a grain of salt.
