A great little scope. Sharp optics at maximum magnification. Compact and solidly built. I purchased this scope for holiday travel and as a compromise on those occasions when I don't want to carry bulkier heavy optics. I experience the focus barrel as firm and smooth; the zoom eyepiece as initially stiff and smooth, but nevertheless I adjust to both quickly (see update below). It is not as good as the best Nikon, Vortex and Opticron have to offer in this size scope but then they are well over twice the price of the Minox; so it represents excellent value for money. Only the most demanding and critical would not be satisfied by the performance at the price. I only have one minor criticism to make.

I debated long and hard about whether I wanted to spend $349 for this spotter, vs. $124 for a comparably sized Brunton Echo. Since I love German engineering, and because this scope offered an angled eyepiece (an important feature for me), I went with the Minox. My decison was validated the moment I removed it from the padded carrying case. The scope is hefty for its size. It has a wonderful solid feel to it and operation of the focus ring, power selector and extending rubber eyecup all convey a sense of quality and precision. The optics are bright, super clear, with excellent contrast -- what one would expect from lenses ground in Wetzlar. I see no distortion at any power and the scope can resolve small details at 100 yards with no difficulty.

Lightweight but solidly built, this compact spotting scope is difficult to fault. For the price the optics are good, giving a clear undistorted image even at its highest magnification (x30), although it's limitations show up in poorer light conditions. The zoom is smooth, and all in all it's a very comfortable and easy thing to use. The focus mechanism is quite stiff so it can be a bit of a strain on my old arthritic fingers on a cold day, and maybe would be a bit tricky for a child to operate. But given the overall quality of the 'scope this is a small gripe indeed.OK, it's not top-end optics, but it's not top-end price either.Image quality- three stars.Build quality- five stars.Value for

My first scope, purchased after looking through someone elses. Not disappointed used it for bird watching and general long distance viewing. I could make out people (all be it blurred dots) moving on a tower 8 miles away on a clear sunny day. Purchased a phone holder and a camera attachment to take photos, but my first results were poor, probably down to me, hopefully in time I will get this sorted. The focus adjusment is stiff and annoying if you forget this then move the lens on the tripod when its focused on something specific. Just thinking of buying another for a xmas present.

Very compact lightweight scope. Clear sharp images when focussed, but focus and zoom controls are quite stiff, so hopefully will ease off with time. Ideal to put in a rucksack for casual use but at 30x magnification and with 50mm object lens cannot match up to the larger spotting scopes with bigger magnification. Well made and good value, ideal for those who don't want to carry heavy equipment around. Comes with case which would have been better ready made with a hole to accommodate the mount for use on a tripod.

Very nice for the money and objective size. It is small and easy to take to the range and works great at 100 and well at 200 yards, which is what I bought it for. Long range needs bigger glass, which I have as well.
