Caveats
- On 2026-11-11 Leica's US store listed it as Notify Me (out of stock).
- On BirdForum, owners of the Monovid 8x20 and 8x25 call the focus stiff, and four posters say the view shakes at 8x.
- One BirdForum owner reports loose eyecup play and uneven leather seams on the 8x25.
- There is no tripod mount.
- One eye tires sooner than two on long birding sessions.
