19 minutes of video from May 1945. At opening, a chalk board tells you this is "Weimer"(sic). Then every two minutes a new chalk board tells you this is "target 20", or something similar. What in Germany are we seeing? No way to tell. No documentation on disk or box.

Cstar Spy-Scope 8x20 Monocular

Answer to the Title Question: the one that you have onhand.

I like to carry "optics" when I travel (touring), when I go out into the wild (for sights and birding), and I would always have some optics on me when I go tactical (like on my rifle, separately, or specialized, like NVGs). After messing around with various designs, magnifications, sizes, weights, and extra features, like lens coatings, I finally decided that the most practical utility vs. weight-size ratio was in the 8 X 21 or 8 X 20 compact monocular design. For me it's about the perfect balance of practicality, cost and portability/deployability... afterall, you may have the best $1000 Zeiss optics in the world, but if it's sitting in it's protective case deep in your backpack... well, it ain't doin' you any good. So it was for me. I carried around various nice (read: expensive) binoculars and spotting scopes for years, dutifully packed away in my pack, or the exterior side pocket of my pack, or on my belt in a holster, or as this huge 2.5 pound anchor around my neck. But really what I wanted was the ability to quickly get a closer, clearer view of something (birds, terrain features, points of interest) mainly for confirmation. In fact, sometimes it was just to scope out a street sign when I was navigating. Through the years I downsized to more practical sizes, and finally, I ended up with 8 X 20 monocular as my most practical solution.

With my monocular in a quickly accessible mini-pouch on my packstrap, I can whip out my optics in like 3 seconds and be already focusing in whatever object caught my eye, while my friends are still digging around in packs for their binoculars or more often, not even bothering to take the trouble. And just as quickly, I can put it back into it's case and be hiking. I'll tell you, it's made a world of difference to me.... seeing things more closely, at will, conveniently and quickly.

It's true the field of view for this monocular is limited. It simply is not large enough (diameter) to pull in a whole lot of light, so forget about low-light or night viewing (that's not to say that I haven't enjoyed some stargazing or looking at the moon with this scope). And, as has been pointed out, it's not even the best ergonomic design for focusing (without practice). But, for me, it's a functional, utilitarian design and the decent pricing makes it a device that I don't terribly fret about damaging. As a matter of fact, I have 3 and I've only destroyed 1 (so far) and parted it out for repairs.

There are many nice monocular designs out there. All I'm saying is that this one works for me.... cheap, practical, functional.
