I have an old pair of Helios 8x30s that i've had since I was 16 but one of the eyepieces fell out today and is gone,probably into the water with the ducks! Now i can only see thru one eye,hence my name on here so a monocular would possibly do. Unfortunately the only monos i come across are cheap nasty 8x30 or smaller. Is there somewher offering decent choices for us one eyed birders out there?
Cheers
Larry
If they sell the Leupold Yosemite 8x30 over there, might be good solution. Pretty light compared to big porros.
Larry, try an advanced search on "monocular" in the Binoculars forum and you're sure to find some threads of interest. There are good quality monoculars out there from makers such as Zeiss, Nikon & Docter. Opticron have a selection of models with good specs :

Seems quite a few folks can't get on with them though finding them uncomfortable to use and difficult to hold steady. A low power binocular with a wide field of view might be a preferred choice. Maybe the 6x30 version of the binocular mentioned by Tero would be even more comfortable to use and is available from good UK retailer :
