There is no doubt that binoculars are better. But a monocular is less than half the size and weight and there's a lot to be said for that. My litttle Zeiss is not the greatest thing; there are in it obviously a lot of compromises to size and weight. But sometimes it's better the little Zeiss that I have in my briefcase with me than the fancy binoculars I left at home because I don't care to carry them around all of the time. I have several monoculars which I like because they are small and easy to carry so you will have one with you. Owning the fanciest, best, most expensive pair of binoculars in the world will do you no good if they're fifty miles away at home when you find yourself wanting a bit closer look at something.
