Many years ago, I had an old Bauch & Lomb 10X monocular that I thought was better because of its size for carrying while hunting. Did not like it at all and went to a 10X by 50mm roof prism binoculars and lived with the extra bulk and weight in exchange for much better performance.

Currently, I have an inexpensive Tasco 10X by 25mm in the straight line prizm style that folds very flat, has a right eye adjustment ring with center focusing wheel that I bought for $3.99 and $.49 for a Vivatar carrying case that was just the right size from my local Goodwill store. Nowhere near as good as a Zeiss, but a hell of a lot cheaper and they work well with crisp images.
