Good value compared to alpha-brand (Swarovski, Zeiss, Kowa) 80mm scopes at notably lower price. Digiscoping-capable.
Frequently asked questions
What's 'ED' glass?
Extra-low-Dispersion glass - reduces chromatic aberration (colour fringing) at high magnification. Essential for any serious spotting scope where 60x magnification would otherwise reveal significant colour errors on high-contrast edges.
