## Description

From the manufacturer Hilkinson 8-25x25 Straight Zoom Monocular Compact and lightweight design with powerful 8-25x zoom Ultra close focus distance under 1m Fully multi coated optics to stop internal reflection Fold down rubber eyecups to suit spectacle wearers Large size central focusing system to reduce tremor Thanks to the convenient pocket size and its powerful 8x to 25x magnification, the Hilkinson 8-25x25 Zoom monocular is a perfect companion for a traveller and general observation or a nature enthusiast who enjoys close up studies of insects and flowers. It can also be used by the visually impaired to read such items as timetables, price tickets or other notices. Weighing 125g and measuring only 13cm in length, it is a very compact monocular considering the powerful magnification available. These unique features make the monocular extremely versatile and also easy to hold, thus avoiding any fatigue common when using heavier optics for long periods of time. A large 25mm coated objective lens provides for bright and clear image reproduction which allows you to view the scenery in stunning clarity. Thanks to the lower power 8x magnification, the monocular also has a close focus functionality which allows you to focus on objects under 1m away. This makes the monocular ideal for watching in stunning detail butterflies, dragonflies and other insects that maybe in close proximity to you. With the zoom you then have the option to go up to 25x magnification to view items much further away or in greater detail, without needing any additional bulky equipment.

Review: Quite an eyeful! - Superb value for money! Excellent optics and plenty of focus adjustment (missing from many other monoculars). Having lost the sight in one eye from Diabetes, Binoculars didn't seem appropriate and the good news... This monocular gives me high quality vision with an amazing zoom range - far better than I would have got from binoculars.
Review: Great monocular - The image quality is decent for the price you pay. The quality at 8x magnification is really good (sharp and bright), however towards the 25x magnification the quality starts to suffer a little bit (getting little soft, but still acceptable and darker). Also offers nice close up function if you want to inspect something close up. The focus ring is nice and smooth, quite heavy to turn (won't move on its own). The body of the monocular feels very well made (for the price it costs), and it does not rattle or feel like it is going to fall apart. Only reason not to give 5 stars - the monocular folded at its most compact setting is focusing past infinity, meaning you have to turn the focus ring when you get it out of the pouch or leave it in the pouch extended few millimetres (focused at infinity). Not sure if that would bother most people using it, but worth mentioning. Another thing worth mentioning is that to actually use the 25x magnification successfully you need very steady hands, it is not easy to handhold the monocular at that magnification due to its small size and light weight.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do I adjust the diopter on this?**
A: There is not a dioptre on this. If you start with the little spot at 8x then use the end barrel to focus on an object (twisting the end barrel) once in focus put your finger on the little metal bit that sticks up to hold in place whilst you adjust the fine focus (the focus wheel closest to your eye). For close objects you can pull the end barrel in and out. Hope this makes sense its not easy to describe!

### ⭐⭐ Focus is average and at max zoom is not good. Stiff action
*by M***G on 28 February 2015*

Focus is average and at max zoom is not good. Stiff action. The close up focusing (0.5m) seemed like good feature but when I tried it your naked eye will give you better view if you can get this close to it anyway. Or any cheap magnifying glass will be much better. Returned it for refund. Bought a Barr and Stroud 15x-45x for about half as much again. It is much bigger but the quality is so much better. I found it focused better at 45x zoom than the Hilkin at 15x. Not too sure what you could use the Hilkinson 8-25x25 for as 8x binoculars will cover most of what it did but with better view.
