I have this old Leitz Trinovid 8x40 B. They are old, from the early 90's and I inherited them. Still a very nice image and the package size is good.

I have a big camera lens for birdwatching and animal photos. I am considering putting an ironsight or a red-dot sight on my camera so I can line up the lens faster. Does this seem retarded or is it this a viable thing?
Do they make sights that attack to a hot shoe on a camera

how much difference is a prism vs lens only small monocular

Not sure, but I think you can have less glass/weight in a prism and they are cheaper.

prism ones aren't cheaper

I had that idea too, I can't say if it's a good idea because I haven't done it yet. I was planning to attach it to the tripod foot.

I bought a cheap "night vision" camera to look at foxes and rabbits on the property at night, for how cheap it is I can't complain, you can see around 100 metres/109 yards and can record video with it if you insert an micro SD card and can swap the 18650 battery out if need be.

Here's what it records, forgive the shakiness I was recording with one hand held up over the fence trying not to spoop the bunny that was around 50 metres away.
