Not a lot of folks here would use monoculars.Only one way to find out about the Vortex.I was out with my Specwell 8x20 this sunny evening and it was sort of semi useful but really a bit of a pain also and perhaps even more difficult to use than my 6x16 Specwell. Even my 8x20 Pentax bins were way ahead and they aren't any picnic to use.Nothing beats a decent size bin at the end of the day really.</blockquote>
