112 mm tall, 152 grams.

At roughly 112 mm long and just 152 grams, the Monovid slips into a jacket pocket, a backpack or a small handbag and is easy to forget you are carrying. The slim aluminium barrel still delivers the full 8× optical performance of a far larger instrument. Portability never costs you the view.

The diamond-pattern leather.

The body wears the same diamond-pattern leathering as the legendary Leica cameras. It is more than a styling cue: the leather gives a secure, tactile grip in the hand and shrugs off years of daily use. The result is a discreet, timeless elegance that only improves with age.

90% light transmission.

HDC multi-coated optics and a P40 phase-corrected roof prism push 90% of the available light through to your eye, for bright, high-contrast views with faithful colour. The HighLux HLS coating draws extra brightness from every scene. Fine detail holds up at dawn, at dusk and in shade.

Waterproof to 5 metres.

The nitrogen-filled aluminium housing is sealed against water to a depth of 5 metres and resists internal fogging when the temperature changes suddenly. It shrugs off rain, spray and dust without complaint. A humid morning by the water is never a reason to leave it at home.
