Most points were already mentioned it, so I will confine myself to the significant negative or limiting points:
- The eyecups are underground! Without courageous attaching to reasonably adjust the things on the eyes of a pair of scissors, which is nothing. Mir is a mystery how one can bring such eyecups on the market. And only time to put on a glass in this price range a pair of scissors, you have to like. Who does not like, stay away from that thing! If you snips (inside what has gone), you should take your time, only slightly cut away with the nail scissors and test again, you have a great glass!
- This thing is hard, really hard. When observing this is up to a certain time limit is an advantage: What is difficult, wobbles less and the Image Stabilizer can not compensate for everything. But when wearing it violently. With the normal neck strap, the glass is really annoying after some time. Here helps a cross-belt, which is available for little money. My advice is the belt of Omegon (cross-belt) because rubber damped.
- The image stabilizer needs electricity. With 2 AA batteries are good usually comes during the day, but who always invites every day after? Without current, the glass is barely usable at 18x magnification. So one should -straight in winter bring spare batteries for refrigeration. One just needs to think ... When arctic temperatures I carry spare batteries in your pocket just off; otherwise I have. in a small Neoprentaschte directly on cross-belt Then you will not forget those things.
- With this glass in the forest birding? Forget it! You can find in the branches a bird. The glass is a dream for underwater observation or in the open field; in the forest a nightmare. In the forest a 10x or 12x magnification makes much more sense and also sufficient. This has now nothing to do with the glass, but you should know for what you want to use the glass. 18x in the forest is a false application.
- The Okularabdeckungen are crap. If you do not immediately lose anyway and it secures with cords, nerve those things. If you have rumgeschnippelt the eyecups, they no longer hold. Why you need in a splash-proof glass Okularabdeckungen, you realize if you are traveling in the rain. It's not a whim, only times to brush the drops away, until you can use the glass. Here, the only crafting a cover made of neoprene. Canon has gemurkst here unnecessarily. A Duch common coverage would have become even more expensive than these two ridiculous cover.
- The carrying case protects -before dust. But nothing more. Because there is more meaningful and more protective bags.
Despite all points Deiser 4 stars. Because the glass is a dream. So you can leave the spotting scope at home on hiking happy times.
