5 out of 5 stars Great Telescope   November 2, 2008
Great Telescope. I took it to a football game and Wow. Get One. Great in the boat and for Bird watching.


5 out of 5 stars A big help   September 17, 2008
I am legally blind and my old monocular had broken from me treating it rough hiking in the woods and geocaching.

I came across this one which was a lot cheaper than the other one I had bought that didn't last as long as I felt it should. This one has worked out well for me so far. It's very clear and focuses pretty close too. I would recommend this to anyone with vision problems.



4 out of 5 stars Functional quality   August 19, 2008

OK, my take on the Barska Blueline 10x40 Close Focus Monocular. Semi-compact size, sturdy rubberized body, feels like build quality. The image is somewhat sharp, slightly color fringed, reasonably bright.

I guess I really hadn't considered the way a monocular operates. That a tubular 10x optic with a narrow field of view really has to be steadied with both hands to keep vertigo from setting in. Hmmm, kind of awkward, one hand ahead of the other on the barrel, elbows on the desk.

Which sets the thing at chest height, unless I want to sit on a paint can. In the chair, I'm hunching over on it, which tips my head forward, my eyeball squinting upward into the eyepiece. Neckstrain, eyestrain.

Now to focusing with that rotating eyepiece. Remember two hands holding it steady? Now you have just one. Which way to turn? Find out by turning one way and see what happens. About two full revolutions between the stops. No? Back the other way then. What's that? Your bird flew off already?

In conclusion, there's nothing wrong with this monocular. Works as claimed. If you need an optic mainly for positive ID on a bird or critter, fine.

But...if you are into your birds, would like a nice sharp image and good color, might enjoy some watching as well as just "spotting"...well, I'm springing for compact binoculars!



4 out of 5 stars Well made   May 5, 2008

This item seems to be well made. I am a professional photographer and I have been around quality optics for a long time. View is bright and crisp. Focusing is quick.

Only one small problem. The forward element seems to be a little loose.
