Excellent scope,..I have owned a couple of units over the years, I think their optical quality is consistent .They are simple in design but very efficient.The large Fluorite lens has a very subtle but tremendous capability of pulling fine detail from the view.The view has great contrast and sharpness,and even in challenging light conditions ,where the view suffers a bit of glare,the finest detail can be appreciated .For photography and digiscoping is also a very good performer.It creates images very well balanced between aparent sharpness in the center of the image,and great textural rendering all over the field of view..
