Best spotting scope I have owned. Clarity, detail and brightness is great at all magnification levels. Lens cap could fit a little better and tripod is flimsy. But the scope itself is what I bought and it is excellent.....especially for the money!

Very usable above 30x even though it is not an ED scope, when the atmosphere is cooperating.Great eye relief, focus a little slow but,yields a very sharp image. Tripod that comes with it not substantial enough for 80mm scope. Still, for the price I don't think you can do better until upwards of double the price.

Optics Planet is a first class company, fast shipping, five stars. I also give five stars to the Bushnell Legend 20-60×80 Spotting Scope; exceeded all my expectations. The tripod is excellent for cameras but a little shakey for the scope when fully extended. One slight problem that could be a big problem for some buyers. The specifications give a close focusing distance of 12 feet - not true - more like 26 feet. For most people this is of little importance but it could be critical for those that require close focusing scopes. This needs to be corrected.

For the money nothing can beat this scopes optical quality. You get extreme resolution, and no color fringing, and best sun glare reduction, i'm comparing to scopes for $1000 and up. Field of view at 60 mag. is really wide, above 60 deg. The only scopes that can compare to this one are, nikon fieldscope 3 ed, and swarowski and kowa and zeiss. But the image quality and ease of looking is way above average. Once again, the porro prism design of this scope makes depth of field, resolution and color the best there is. The only thing is edge line bending distortion, you will not notice. Best scope for the money by far.

I spent several weeks learning about spotting scopes. Eye relief, exit pupil, prizms, coatings and what to expect from mid priced scopes. This is without a dought the best deal for the money going. Don't pass this one by. Dale ---Wyoming
