One of the best values in spotting scopes - Celestron Ultima 100 Spotting Scope 100mm w/ 22-66x Zoom Eyepiece, 52252

I've looked through Kowas, Zeiss, and a few other high end spotters.They're outstanding optics. Got a chance to evaluate the Celestron Ultima 100 and was highly impressed with it. Brightness and sharpness at full magnification (66X) is on par with scopes costing2-3X as much.
Pros: Huge objective lens makes sight picture very bright even on max magnification. Picture is sharp and clear. Equals many scopes that are 3X the price.
Cons: Can't use it with glasses on. 100mm objective lens makes it on the large side. Not a compact.
