Digital camera reviews of Yukon 6-100X100 Angled Eye Spotting Scope Kit

Digital camera Review: A really good spotting scope in this price range
Summary: 4 Stars

Having quality issues with two Konus scopes I ended up buying a Yukon 21031K (6-100x100mm) from Acephotodigital.com which turned out to be a good decision: lighter, better clarity, rotatable eyepiece, and even come with a small tripod. I use this Yukon scope for range shooting and have no problem spotting 308 bullet holes at 300 yards (can probably do even better on ideal weather conditions). The power range switch is actually quite helpful once you get use to it. A good sturdy tripod will help you great deal since the one included in the package may be hard to stabilize in strong wind. A nuisance is that the power ring becomes hard to turn in cold weather and I wish there were places/holes accessible to put in a drop of lubricate oil. Really good image clarity although eye relief is also a bit short so it can be less comfortable if you wear eye glasses. It would be nice if the next improvement they can do is to fill it with nitrogen and seal it better for fog/water proof. I really like the travel friendly features: light, zipped carrying bag and a small tripod. I can say without hesitation for spotting scope around $300 this is a great choice.

For the price I would be willing to give 5 stars--the only reason for 4 stars is because the first scope they sent me was also defective with a scratch on the interior side of lens therefore I had to ship it back. The replacement they sent me works wonderfully--it does seem that QA issues are quite common across less expensive scopes (see my review on Konuspot 20-60/100mm scope). So, if you get a good one on the first try, go celebrate.

Summary of Yukon 6-100X100 Angled Eye Spotting Scope Kit

The Yukon 6-100x100 is a revolutionary spotting scope that provides a high quality image at magnifications ranging from 6x to 100x. For low magnification observation, the device utilizes the 25mm lens. Linear zooming allows magnification adjustments between 6x and 25x but, when a higher magnification is desired, the flip of a switch shifts the light path from one lens to the other. With the 100mm objective lens, zooming capabilities increase to 25?100x magnification. The enormous light gathering capability of the 100mm lens creates a bright and clear picture in nearly all viewing conditions, including twilight. In accordance to Yukon Advanced Optics? tradition, the Yukon 100x?s design provides the user with power, quality and comfort. To prevent viewing fatigue or discomfort, a specially designed adjustable 45-degree, rotating eyepiece is utilized to suit the viewer?s position from any angle, even when lying on the ground. Both digital and photo camera adapters are available to be used with the Yukon 100x. The unit can accommodate both photographic and spotting
