SV406P ED Spotting Scopes, 20-60X80mm 1.25” Zoom Spotting Scopes with Dual Focus FMC BAK4, Spotting Scope for Birders Birding Wildlife Casual Astronomy Photography

The sharpness is good, and the clarity is good. I recommend you buy it

As described. Very sharp corner to corner with the extreme corners having a slight jelly bean on stars (not the intended use but an acid test for any scope). Used on the super moon and just the slightest bit of false color at high magnification. Daytime use is a joy. Didn't notice any false color and images were very sharp matching much more expensive scopes like the Vanguard I used to have. Even at the highest magnification very useable but you better have a good tripod. I married it to a carbon fiber fiber with a Manfrotto fluid head with good results. Focus knobs are smooth as silk and accurate. Zoom eyepiece was better than expected and held pretty good focus through the zoom with only some fine focus needed to clean it up. Wish it came with a hard case but it did have a weather sleeve that is well padded. No, it's not the finest Nikon, Canon, or Swarovski but it's not over 2k either. It is well worth the money I paid and really much more.

L'image est très claire et nette tant sur la terre ferme que dans le ciel. Excellente lunette pour un regard rapide des objets du ciel. Je peux voir les anneaux de Saturne et Jupiter avec 2 bandes plus foncées et ses lunes à 60X. Les étoiles dans les Pléiades (M45) sont nettes comme des pointes d'épingle. Il y a une très très légère aberration chromatique à 60X en bordure de la lentille frontale qui ne gêne pas à observer la lune, Jupiter et Saturne. Le verre ED fait vraiment son travail. La double mise au point est une caractéristique que j'adore. La mise au point grossière est un peu ferme à tourner mais quant à la mise au point fine, c'est un charme à utiliser. Cette lunette tourne sur elle même d'un côté ou l'autre pour faciliter l'observation. Je recommande ce produit sans hésitation.

Great optics for the price. Compared it to my Vortex Razor and it stood up well. Just as sharp, but colors were a bit dull. Chromatic aberration was well controlled. Way better than my friends vortex that cost a bit more than the Svbony. Hard to believe how good it is really.

I love this scope. Being my first scope, I didn't want to spend too much and this exceeds all the marks! I primarily use it for birding and it has really helped increase my ID range. I can ID waterfowl clear across the lake that I frequent. It has also allowed me to ID all kinds of sea ducks that were out of range of the binocs. While the view at the far zoom range is not the best, it still works well enough to get a confident ID. I have no problem with the weight as I have carried it (with the tripod) 6+ mile treks. I usually just rest the tripod on my shoulder with the scope on the tripod. I also had a minor accident that caused the eyepiece relief to break after only having it for a couple of weeks. I emailed SVBONY about it (inquiring about purchasing a new eyepiece) and they sent me a new eyepiece for free!!! And the customer service rep was SUPER NICE! I highly recommend this scope for people looking to increase their range and don't have the budget for a high end scope.

Excellent quality for the Price. Image holds sharp over most of the field and minimal refocus needed with zoom change. Focus knob works smoothly and easy even with gloves on for cold day. Case in is wonderful, well designed good fit and function for everything except rotation of ocular to other than vertical position. I just leave the case on for storage and use. Really don't think you can touch the bang for the buck without spending 5x or more. Also my regular telescope ocular work great as a bonus.
