Awesome, a new adventure every time
I got got this 25-75x70 scope because it was the cheapest I could find with a >60mm objective lens and a twist-up eyepiece. I've had good experiences with cheap no-name binoculars. So I was hoping a cheap scope would pleasantly surprise me, too.The ergonomics and build quality of the scope are fine -- above what I was expecting. However, the optics are below what I was expecting. The image is bright enough at 25x, but as I increase the magnification above about 30x, the image gets much darker very quickly, and worse than that, the circle of the image that I see rapidly decreases in size, too. (I expected the field of view to decrease, but I didn't expect the viewable circle to also decrease in size.) The image above 30x is not very sharp either.I got the scope primarily so that I could have something to be able to show another person exactly what I'm looking at, and this will work for that specific purpose. However, I was also hoping that 75x would be able to help me identify waterfowl up to 1km away, and this scope just won't reliably work for that purpose. The poor quality of the image at higher magnifications means that I'm not getting much more information than if I just stick to 25x. I can see ducks reasonably well at about 250m, and I can guess at about 500m.While I do get a little more range at 25x than I can using my $30 10x50 binoculars, the image from the scope in all other respects -- color, clarity, brightness, field of view -- is worse than that of those cheap binoculars. So if I had known that I was effectively getting just a ~25x optic, I think I would have done better to just get pair of 20x50 binoculars and mounted those to a tripod. It might not have been lighter, but it would have been cheaper and less bulky.I don't know for sure, but I'm sort of thinking that something about 3x the price of this scope is really the lowest that I should have aimed for a reasonably useful "cheap" scope.
