    Show us your Pocket Monocular

    Found a pretty good condition Nippon 5x15 on ebay. Cleaned it all up as the lens and prism were quite dirty inside. Of course collimation is out (But it was so dirty you couldn't see well), but don't know how to adjust as it doesn't have adjustment screws. Any tips? I did manage to climate the...

    Porro Prism restore

    Thanks Richard, that would be great. But since one is not the exact same size as the other, does it mean i would need to change both sides (left and right) or just changing one prism shouldn't affect?

    Thanks :) Yeah it was quick how fast I acquired them. I guess they came in at a good time and at good prices. That's the end for me. If I could keep only 3, it would be the Nikon mikron, docter and a Zeiss turmon. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Porro Prism restore

    Ill have to measure once I settle down as I'm in middle of moving places. Then I can let you know. Are these prisms easy to find? Where could I find them? Is there a specific website? Thanks. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Micro binocular

    No double image. It working ok. But the left side isn't the cleared specially on the counter that had the small chip on the porro prism. I would apply just a bit of glue to hold the piece in place but not enough to add any thickness. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Porro Prism restore

    I will try to glue with Loctite Glass Glue. I managed to sort the focusing issue on it. Its almost perfect with exception of the prism. Someone did play with it as the objective was incorrect direction. I flipped it and it worked perfectly. Some other signs of it being tempered with. Sent...

    Porro Prism Chipped/Cracked Hello I was given a micro binocular and wanted to restore it as it's lost paint and had some specs of dirt inside. One side is not focusing far, but focuses close very well. The other focuses far perfectly. Upon looking at it I noticed a small darkness on one...
