Pros & Cons
Pros
I use this scope for wildlife viewing and mountain top scenery. My grandkids love it cuz they can look out iur windows to check out town below.
Ocular extension and sunshade are both very handy. Amazing optics in both camera lenses and scopes and binoculars. X's fills the eyepiece viewer with the whole target. Easy to use zoom/focus adjustment. Full-coated lens means you don't need to change ... Read More
