Brunton MacroScope 7x40 Close Focus Monocular

Comments about Brunton MacroScope 7x40 Close Focus Monocular:

The optics are made in Japan and then sealed into the macroscope framing within a nitrogen atmosphere. It has a good storage range from freezing to heating at 110 F. It also has a real nice storage case that is easy to open.

This monocular achieves the goal of making things that are far away look bigger, and it has excellent image quality so it is easy to examine the details of whatever object you are looking at. The focus dial can bring out the detail in an object whether it is two feet or a hundred feet away from you. The monocular can be used whether you are wearing glasses (in my case sunglasses) or using your naked eye - the extending eyepiece gives you that perfect circle instead of the weird oval.

I intend to use the monocular for fishing for trout in New Zealand. I am certain that it will make spotting the fish and what they are feeding on a lot easier and much more stealthy. The only drawback to the monocular is that it is bigger and heavier than I imagined, and it's not going to fit very well into my vest. I would like a neckband for it so that I could carry it around like a pair of binoculars. The upshot to the weight is that it seems very sturdy (though I haven't dropped them to find out!). Overall I have found this macroscope to be of excellent quality and I am glad that I didn't go with a cheaper option.

I have failing eyesight due to diabetes. I use the scope at my grandson's lacrosse games. With the adjustable eye relief, I can see the full field of view while wearing glasses. The close focus allows me to see price labels without having to crawl on the floor when I go to a store
