Apochromatic lenses System gives you the result of images which have greater contrast, sharpness and color definition.

Very clearly. Outstanding resolution.

Very clear picture. Almost completely free of chromatic aberrations. Personally, I found the eye relief to be a bit touchy, but it wasn't bad enough to really be an issue. Also very solidly built.

Pros
  • Advanced multi-coated lenses improve light transmission for optimal brightness and true-to-life color across the entire light spectrum.
Cons
  • Annoying.

Great value for money but not for me

First of all, you're going to take it hard find to get that clarity for the money. It is very compact and fits perfectly if you are a hunter. Compared to the old model razor, Cronus outshines it in most aspects. Compared to the Leupold gold ring, the transparency is very similar. Edge ID tells Leupold eye relief and brightness. However, Leupold is slightly larger. The reason it's not for me is because I've been using straight eyecups for so long that I can't get used to the angled ones.

Pros
  • ED glass produces an image with little to no fringing so the end result is a sharper, clearer image for your eyes
Cons
  • So far so good

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Exorbitant price

Very compact. Excellent chromatic control. BUT

This is a nice little pocket sized spotting scope that offers excellent color accuracy, clarity and brightness in low light for its size. Its zoom eyepiece moves quietly without any harshness and with a nice slight drag that's just right for zooming without losing the target in the field of view, but the movement isn't exactly smooth. The start and slowing down of the eyepiece rotation to a certain calibration mark is a bit bumpy, but not enough to get the target out of view. Its fuselage has a

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • No mold required
