I have two Opticron scopes, the ES80 GA ED the smaller brother of the ES100, and the almost pocketable MM2. Both are excellent scopes and I consider them very good value for the money.

No idea where they are made, but, I guess like most of the rest, the Far East!.

Their expensive and mid-prize products are made in Japan, while the cheaper ones (250 euros and below) are generally made in China.

Wherever they're made they are excellent!

I've been using an ES100 for about 2 years now. It looks big, bulky and heavy,well actually it is, but I have found it easy to carry and use in the field.

It is optically top notch, well made, and certainly not a run-of-the-mill scope.

I tend to use it with the 33x and when required the SDL zoom, both giving great images.
