I did a search and found nothing on this monocular.  I like how light weight it is.
 
Does anybody know anything about it?  Is it a worth the price?
 
Thanks,

 It is a MACRO scope.  In basic english, that means close up.  It has my interest because of the name.  If you buy a macro camera lens, it is for extreme close ups typicaly of small objects.  Say you wanted to take a photo of a ring or tie clasp so you could sell it on E-bay, you would use a macro lens. Now that same lens can be used in the normal manner, but without the same results (objects may apear flater).
 
Minox has great quality.  I would call Minox and see what they tell you.  Let us know what they say.
