Is this scope any good? (1 Viewer)

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31715&item=7134973491&rd=1 - just been bought this as a present - I really hope it will give good results ...

Hi Nick, don't go expecting miracles but for that sort of price you can't really lose. I'd expect best results at the lower end of it's magnification. Let us know how you get on.

cheers,

Hello Nick! For that price you cannot expect so much. It depends for how long you have been a birdwatcher, and after a while you just want the best optics. In Europe you have to pay appr.600 -1000 USDollars to have a reasonable good scope, for ex. Opthicron telescopes. Otherwise, for us who have been birding for a lifetime, we use Svarowski and Zeiss telescopes, and then the price is appr.2500 USDollars, but then you have the very best!

ok thanks guys - I know it's a real bottom of the barrel one - but I could give it a try - it may surprise us all Now all I need to do is find a camera adapter !
