Alpen 15-30x50 waterproof Spotting Scope Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This optic was recommended to me by a fellow competitor. I needed a smaller scope than my high dollar 82mm. It is very good for the money and has excellent eye relief.

Alpen 18-36-60 spotting scope Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Recently returned from a week in Yellowstone NP where I watched 4 grizzlies, 13 wolves, countless bison and elk with this scope. Although I was surrounded by folks who had spent hundreds more on their scopes, I was excited to discover no real difference between this scope and the nikon, bushnell, telestron, etc. that they had and my Alpen. I was watching animals from distances between a mile and a few hundred feet and was never disappointed. Even in winds of 30-40 mph I was able to keep the animals in focus at a mile away.(Don't forget to brace your tripod in any wind!) I use this scope on a Slik U9000 tripod and backpack with it. The hardcase is an added bonus for traveling with it. A great value!

Celestron 52250 80mm Ultima Zoom Spotting Scope Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I originally bought a Raven from Eagle Optics. But I returned it. Raven was $400. It had poor eye relief and poor image quality but very good scope construction (housing, cordura case etc). I went to Cabela's and tried the usual high-end suspects as well as Meopta, and Cabela's ED (Big Sky?). Thought I was going to have to resign myself to spend the big bucks 'someday'. But, I persisted and stopped by Ryder Hobby shop 'just to check it out'. Am glad I did. The Celestron Ultima 80 gave me the 'wow' factor I thought I was going to see in Raven and only saw in the highest end scopes. Well made, crisp images, you cannot beat it for the price. As good if not better than the Cabela's ($700) scope. I can recommend it. Bought it for $239. Also compared the C5 and other C90 scopes. Not nearly as good either.Would have been neat to check out the 80 ED, but they did not have it and it runs twice the price. I read all the same on-line reviews you probably have, and I can't figure out how this one did not figure much more prominently or how the Raven got such good reviews. Raven reminds me of my old Tasco binoc's. I'm very happy with the Celestron 80. Saw wood ducks, ring necks, Sand Hill Cranes all this evening approaching twilight with exceptional clarity. Even allows for T-ring mount for camera I read. Hope this helps.

MINOX MD 50 W 16-30x Waterproof Spotting Scope Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I debated long and hard about whether I wanted to spend $349 for this spotter, vs. $124 for a comparably sized Brunton Echo. Since I love German engineering, and because this scope offered an angled eyepiece (an important feature for me), I went with the Minox. My decison was validated the moment I removed it from the padded carrying case. The scope is hefty for its size. It has a wonderful solid feel to it and operation of the focus ring, power selector and extending rubber eyecup all convey a sense of quality and precision. The optics are bright, super clear, with excellent contrast -- what one would expect from lenses ground in Wetzlar. I see no distortion at any power and the scope can resolve small details at 100 yards with no difficulty. I was delighted to find that the scope also focused down to very close objects @ 10 feet distance. I mated it to a Slik Mini Pro V tripod and the two are an unbeatable combination. If you want a quality optical instrument in a convenient size, this is the scope for you. Bravo Minox!

Nikon - Prostaff Spotting Scope Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My friend and I are in a bird research program. We find, map, and study birds of prey. I recently bought a Nikon Prostaff 20-60 power spotting scope. On one of our outings we decided to compare my scope, the Nikon with his a Swarovski 20-60 power. We set them up side by side looking at the same objects. After looking a each object he said to me "your scope is brighter, clearer, and has more contrast than mine." I had to agree. The only thing the Swarovski was better at, no color fringing. The Nikon had a small outline of red when set at 30 or more power. The cost of the Nikon about $600, the Swarovski over $1700. I hope this review helps someone trying to make a choice in the complex world of buying a good scope. Oh, and by the way, the tripod sold with the Nikon scope is terrible. Invest in a good set of legs, you'll be glad you did.
