I wanted to replace my old twin 'fox-focus "whose optical eventually become misaligned, and I invested in a brand recognized in the field of photography and optics. The result exceeded my expectations, and competition has to be chickweed: clarity of detail, precision focus, wide field of view, pleasant grip for taking in hand, optical caps, shockproof satchel rigid foam, everything is there. Furthermore, this device is perfect for people who, like me, do not have the same correction in both eyes, because the right eyepiece allows adjustable differential. The wheel of development, highly effective and well curbed, can see perfectly cleanly from a few meters to infinity. interocculaire the spacing is adjustable, and benchmarks allow to find immediately the right setting. I am totally satisfied. It is true that a hard case seem better, but I'm not sure it would be a better protection against impact, the foam cushion knows. Anyway, it is a precision instrument, so be careful to preserve the shocks, sunlight, heat (car trunk) and rain!
