Review: Excellent clarity and low light performance - Excellent optics. 200 meters I can see 223 holes on white paper. Works very well in low light condition. Lenses must be of high quality and have very good AR coating. This is the only way for the device to work this well. I have been using various optical devices over years and this one is impressive. Good job Vortex.
Review: Great monocular. Great company. - I purchased this item in February 2021. I carry this when I hike or travel on my motorcycle. I use it mainly to observe wildlife. I like that it is light weight and that I can see clearly thru it. It has survived in temperatures between a little below zero to above 120 degrees. I keep it in the carrying case unless I take it out to use it. Three weeks ago I could not get it to focus. I got onto desertcart to order another and discovered it has a lifetime warranty. So went to Vortex website and contacted them about what happened. I received an email the next day with instructions and a label to send it in for repair or replacement. A new monocular arrived yesterday. I have purchased four Vortex rifle scopes, one Vortex binocular, and this monocular over the last five years. I am very pleased with the quality of their product. I had no idea there was a lifetime warranty with their products. Vortex is a great company and they produce a great product for my needs. I will definitely purchase more from this company.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with a lens cover?**
A: No but I bought a flip up cover for mine. It does come with a carry pouch.

**Q: What is the eye relief (for someone who wears glasses)?**
A: Eye relief for the 8x36 is 18mm, which is probably the best choice for someone wearing glasses (and the reason I chose that particular model)

**Q: Does this ship from Vortex or a retailer?  Thanks**
A: A retailer.

**Q: Does this monocular have an "infinity"? i.e. is there a distance beyond which you no longer have to focus?  If so, how far out is it?**
A: I focused mine at 100 yards and anything further is in focus.  I have viewed items at a closer distance, say to 25 yards, and it is still in focus. Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Packable little piece of equippment, and it's a fraction of the weight of my Swift 7x50 Bino's.
*by S***W on September 2, 2025*

Not a bird watcher, but rather a infantryman veteran that wanted something compact and easy to pack that's high quality. I'm not doing bounding overwatch, but handling it seems rugged enough for my purpose. It's really easy to use and even though some had trouble adjusting the focus one handed, I had no trouble at all. The image quality is pretty good, and it's quite powerful for it's size and weight. I haven't tried it in low light situations yet, but so far I really like it. I do wish it had some lense and eye cup covers, but that's my only gripe so far.
