The invention relates to an objective for an image recording device for reproducing an image, which is created by a far-optical device. A housing, which is detachably connectable to an eyepiece of the far-optical device, has a greater inner diameter than the exterior diameter of an eyepiece housing. Both an exit pupil of the far-optical device and an entrance pupil of the objective are situated inside the housing. The objective has at least one lens, the optical axis of which is arranged to be parallel to the optical axis of the eyepiece of the far-optical device and to the middle axis of the eyepiece housing.
