The 30×50 Yukon spotting scope as detailed on the Amazon site is generally pretty poor quality, although they vary quite a bit. The price quoted is ridiculous, it should be about 1/10 of this.The 30x50 Yukon binocular is not two of these side-by-side but a purpose made folded refractor design.The 30x50 spotting scope is just a fairly cheaply made draw tube telescope.The 6x to 100×100 mm spotting scope is quite different and is a folded refractor, however, originally with a 45° inclined eyepiece but I think later also available in a straight through design. It is quite novel and extremely lightweight. But the housing is some kind of plastic.</blockquote>
