Disappointed 2008-06-18
I purchased the Spotter for more power than my 10X42 Nikon Monarch binoculars but the optics are nowhere near as clear and sharp. Even though the image is larger, it appears out of focus it is weak and unresolved compared to the Monarch. I put it to a hard test, viewing a Space Shuttle launch from 11 miles away but I could compare the two before the launch looking at the launch pad. I was attracted by the price of the Spotter against the more expensive Nikon Fieldscopes but now I wish I had not purchased it and saved for a better scope. I know some people love these Spotters. Now that I have it I will use it in the field and I hope I am not as disappointed as I have been so far.
Nikon XL II Spotting Scope 2006-03-06
The optical clarity of the spotting scope was quite good. I compared it to a very similar scope put out by Bushnell and found it to be noticeably better to my eyes. The image was sharper with the Nikon product at all magnifications. The Bushnell product is several ounces lighter and to a backpacker or traveller, this may count for something. Also, it seems that more care is given to minor things, like rounding the edges of the mounting block on the Nikon, and it seems to be a better made product. I think that it would have influenced my choice somewhat if I had known that the Nikon product was manufactured in China and I may not have purchased it. I also have an 80mm Swarovski scope which is quite superior to anything that I have seen but one cannot compare apples and oranges and the price of the Nikon product is quite reasonable.
