henry link said:I didn't think such a thing could be for real. I googled it and there it was, at binoculars .com for $300. A wonderfully bizarre contraption; a small scope piggy backed on a large one with a (moveable mirror?) to change the light path from one objective to the other. Given the low price, high complexity, large objective(s) size and wide zoom range I would be very skeptical of this thing. It promises way too much for too little, but it would be great fun to try it.

in my searches I have found this wierd creature, that I'll be so happy to hear a first hand expirience of it (on not just the automatic NO WAY that we all have) and the Eagle Optics Raven that seems be a good bargain.
Thanks,

I don't know, each time I pick up a pencil, it needs sharpening... But can't someone invent a ball pen that doesn't blob?Mickymouse said:Wouldn't it be a hoot if someone tried it and found it was brilliant and did all it claimed. Reminds me of the story of NASA spending silly millions of dollars developing a pen that could write in zero gravity and in a vacuum while the Russians just used a pencil !!!!

Well - anything other than that. Zeiss don't even make a $4000-00 scope...RedBishop said:I still wish I'll get to a see a hands-on professional review.
Mick you should have gone in and had a look through it any-way,and put all of us out of our misery. :CMickymouse said:I was doing a bit of idle window shopping today and happened to look in the window of a camera shop and blow me there it was a Yukon 6-100X100 at £299 and it looks just as weird in the flesh so to speak as it does on the web site, I was very tempted to get it but my credit card started to cry so I didn't, very tempted though, very tempted.

scampo said:Just what I was thinking, Mick... even a look down the road. Is it wide, sharp, bright, etc...?
Or would the temptation have been too much?
(-;
Mickymouse said:Yep I was bothered by the temptation, £299 is not a lot for a scope but it's a lot to waste on an impulse, another problem is that I only have a cheap Acuter scope (that was an impulse buy, seemed great at first) so anything I reported wouldn't realy be that useful, still fascinated by it though, I know I shall wind up by at least having a look through it.
