Endurance ED 10x25 Monocular Green

I really wanted to like this monocular. I has good clear sharp viewing and in a super small light weight package. The problem I had is the eye relief was too short for use whit my glasses on. I could not see the full view until I took off glasses.

Optics seem slightly better than an older pair of binoculars that cost about half as much some years ago. The image quality is more of what I would have expected from the less expensive Nature Trek monocular. Clarity did improve some upon cleaning the eye lens. To be fair, have nothing else to compare it to or to determine if there's a defect.

Bought it because I was interested in the image quality difference to my Opticron T4 Trailfinder (recommended budget choice as it cost half of Hawke) but despite it is a better-protected product with its rubber coating and a bit more suitable for use with glasses, as for picture quality itself, while picture was clear as in Opticron T4 if not better even toward edges unlike what you find on cheap Chinese monoculars under 10£, well I was still clearly able to see chromatic aberration (rainbow effect around edges of objects) in high contrast scenes like edges of buildings on bright sunny day. So, being ED (for extra low-dispersion optics) did not put it on par with 200£ Maven 8x32 or 300£ Vertex Recce Pro HD which both claims to utilize ED glass but in their case, you must really look for chromatic aberration. In the Hawke Endurance ED case, finding chromatic aberration is a matter of finding high contrast scene but it is a lot cheaper, and glass wearers may like it more while most will be unwilling to spend several hundred pounds on quality optics extra-low dispersion monocular with hard to find chromatic aberration.

Optisch fein, nur der Scharfeinstellungsring könnte etwas breiter sein.

sehr klein, für unterwegs sicherlich gut, ging zurück, da für Brillenträger dann der Bildausschnitt einfach zu klein wird.

I've had a monocular for a few years, but wanted one that was better quality and 10 x magnification. This Hawke 10x25 ED has well fitting end caps and with a rubber coating feels rugged and is about as small as it could be with 25mm lens. The case is usable, but makes it much more bulky, so I will just use it with the end caps in a pocket or rucksack.I like the focus ring, it doesn't need to be turned far, but it is easy to get the right focus and it doesn't move once set. The optics are good, nice and clear without obvious distortion or colour effects, and it is easy to hold steadily. I only have one criticism and that I have found it isn't possible to use it while wearing my glasses. Very few small binoculars are good with glasses, so this wasn't a surprise. In fact, I expected it, and as usual will just move my glasses up when using this excellent monocular.

Questo monocolo della Hawke ha ottime lenti,un 10x25 molto luminoso e leggero,ben costruito..gli unici difettisono la messa a fuoco duretta,e il prezzo..con la metà ho trovato monocoli della stessa qualità..
