Review on Ade Advanced Optics 10X21TB Professional by Charity Johnson

Great edge to edge optics and great savings (made in China) compared to the latest Bausch and Lomb manual 10x lens which I replaced with this one. Solid feel, good sheath, but I still prefer wearing a lanyard around my neck. Good hinge, fairly rigid but easy to move yet stable to insert and remove the lens in the metal mount. Nice even black finish on the steel body with a black aluminum lens barrel. All in all a great tool for antique silver collectors, rock climbers and geologists. In my opinion, much more portable and pocketable than the Russian brand BeLoMo. The quality is very good compared to the classic B&L 7x that I bought in college 55 years ago. 10x is the perfect balance of decent magnification and a large enough field of view for use in geological and everyday field conditions.
