4.0 out of 5 stars Good quality for first-timers!, August 14, 2008

This is an exellent buy if this is your first brass spyglass. For being so sheap this sure is good quality, every part of it is verry accurate. I really do have seen a lot worse. People who do not CARE to examine and learn for themselves OR are not used to handle and use spyglasses may have some problem getting the focus right. In any case the focus is really sharp when you do get it right.

You need to twist the smallest tube to change the focus depth. Pracise make perfect!

Even thou its not verry big in size i found that it was as "big" and heavy as i would tolerate for easy carrying and easy use in a larp. You may carry it in a small beltbag, and it fits nicely in your palm.

The only bad thing about it was the fake-leather. I bought it to use on a Pirate LARP (Live Action Role Playing) and i had to remove the plastic "leather" and sew on a new real piece of darkbrown leather myself.
Besides this, modern brass items are often lacquerd with... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Not easy to use, April 26, 2008

This review is from: Barska Blueline 25x30 Spy Scope (Electronics)
This product has good construction materials and does not feel cheap, which is a plus. On the downside, it is quite difficult to use. The scope extends to at least triple the length of the sheathed scope. Because it extends so long, it is difficult to keep the scope steady. For people looking to buy a typical monocular, stick to one that is not a "scope". Using this product is frustrating and feels like work. You will not be able to whip it out and quickly focus on your target. It will take more than a minute just to get your object in view. Be sure of your wants/needs before you buy this product. It did not appear that the magnification was that great either compared to a 10x25.

We bought the "Barska Blueline 25x30 Spy Scope" as a gift for son who loves optics. While less practical than a pair of good binoculars, this is certainly more classy. Here are my observations:

Pros -
+ Good Looking; the brass and "leatherett" give this an old world feel
+ Good Materials; this is a fairly high quality piece that is well constructed
+ Good Optics; this is a functional scope with clear lenses

Cons -
- Difficult to hold Steady without support due to the high magnification and long length
- Focusing takes practice (rotate the last section), but it comes easier with use

Misc -
* Leatherett case is nice enough for carrying and protecting this scope, but not for those looking for authentic leather

This is a perfectly usable scope that has the benefit of also looking sharp. It also does make a nice slightly "different" gift.

Recommended!
