Style: Ultima 65 - 45°
I purchased the Celestron 18-55x65 45° spotting scope used in "Very Good" condition from Amazon for $75. It came in the box in all original packaging, and is brand new insofar as I can tell; something to keep in mind when you read the rest of my review. $75 for this scope in seemingly new condition is a great bargain. At that price, and even up to $90, I would say this is a no brainer, and worthy of a 5-star review. Would I purchase new for ~$115? Yes, probably. The relatively low price, functionality, good build quality, and definite fun factor makes this scope a great option depending on what you are trying to achieve with its use. Why minus a star?-- noticeable purple fringing at just over half the zoom capacity. I was originally looking at the 80mm version, knowing that the larger field of view and brightness it would provide would mean better performance, especially in the high zoom range. I was talked out of it by a friend who has a 80mm scope, and told me it wasn't worth the added bulk and weight for the price, especially when considering my intended non-professional use. For some background, I have a $400 pair 8x42 binoculars that can't even compare to all of the other cheaper 8x25, 10x42, porro prisms, etc. binoculars I've owned throughout the years without expensive glass or any fancy coatings. Once I got the 8x42s in my hands, I never wanted to go back to anything less. The brightness, large field of view, and special coatings really do make a difference. That said, when I got the expensive 8x42s I was using them professionally doing bird nesting surveys, where their light-weight and expensive properties really did come in play. I also later got to use a pair of Swarovski EL 10x42 binoculars while doing seabird monitoring/population and productivity counts, and those were by far the best set of binoculars I've ever seen. Later, I also got to use a Zeiss spotting cope for work that was very impressive, but also very expensive. My point is, once you've had a chance to use the greatest, it can be annoying to have to go with anything less, and so I don't want my review to be tainted in comparison to these high-end models because it's like comparing apples to oranges when you go from the $100 to $400-$2500 price range. Now that I'm no longer in that line of work, I don't need (and also don't want to spend so much) on high end optics (though I do admit I want them...). I mostly wanted a spotting scope, however, for higher magnification viewing of birds at feeders in my backyard, and to allow my young son's the opportunity to see wildlife closer up. I remember not being able to really use binoculars properly at their age, and always found myself closing one eye to look through only one objective since I could never get my vision to line up. Focusing clearly was always an issue, and then there was hand-shake, all of which made binoculars not so fun to use. I see them fiddling and struggling to use binoculars as well, and with a scope my hope is to set it up on a stable tripod pointed right at a feeder and have them only have to move the focus ring slightly-- a decent scope at this price range was exactly what I was looking for. I am an amateur photographer, so already have a couple nice and steady tripods to put to use, which is just as important to have for a scope, and should be factored into your purchasing decision (I wouldn't spend less than $100 on a tripod-- just not worth it). OK, now onto the scope itself. It seems well weighted and well balanced, with decent ergonomics and good housing. I like the advertised waterproofness, and hope that it lives up to that claim. Focus ring is smooth, but zoom ring not so much. I find myself wanting to turn at the attachment point of the eyepiece instead of further up closer to the end where it is located. The zoom ring is also stiff, but I imagine it will loosen up in time. Last about the zoom, it's only textured metal, and I'd prefer either a rubberized ring or tab/lever type zoom, but that's not expected in this price range. Other reviewer(s) have mentioned that it would be nice to have a quick focus along with a fine tune focus knob, but as nice as that would be, for me it's really not expected at this price range. Optical clarity is generally good. This scope really shines in the 18-30 zoom range, but starts to drop off in clarity and (dramatically) in field of view once you get to about 35x. Purple fringing is also noticeable around 35x, getting more obvious in the 40s, and is terrible in the 50s. Field of view up to 30x is full, which was expected since it's a 65 objective scope (light availability and field of view is expected to drop off at anything below a 1:5 magnification/objective ratio). Eye relief is perfectly fine, at least for me, and is worth mentioning since reviews seem mixed about this topic. I wear eyeglasses and have astigmatism, so I can't get scopes or binoculars to focus with full clarity without my glasses. Having enough eye relief is therefore a requirement, and I can focus clearly at all zoom levels with this scope. I'd imagine that some of the negative reviews about eye relief could involve not pulling back the rubber eye-cup. I've found that without pulling back the eye-cup, I can still focus the scope with my glasses on at 18x, but once I start zooming I need to get closer and pulling back the eye-cup is a necessity. Another option is to remove the rubber eye-cup altogether; I accidentally removed mine while fiddling with it. What I don't like about having to "peal back" the eye-cup is that it's annoying to switch over viewing with non-eyeglass wearers that prefer the better light eliminating properties of looking through the eye-cup. And when viewing birds, switching over when sharing the scope is a constant. I also imagine that over time with repeated folds it will eventually break down and fall off, but time will tell. On my nicer binoculars this is solved by having eye-cups that twist up and down, which is a great design, but again, not expected at this price point. Last thing I want to mention about this spotting scope is the "finder scope". While using it today I was thinking how I wish it had a basic finder scope, since it can be difficult to track down where birds have landed not too far away, even at 18x, and especially when using in tight spaces such as my backyard. Then I noticed on the left side of the scope it has "finder scope" in the form of a straw-like appendage attached to the upper left side of the body. No optics involved, which makes sense at this zoom range. Your naked eye works just fine to point the scope close enough in the right direction to find what you want to look at before looking through the lens. When I first saw that appendage I thought it was for adding some type of accessory. I actually thought at one point that perhaps it's an attachment point for a finder scope, but then realized, duh, it is the finder scope itself! Maybe obvious to some or most, but not to me at first, so thought I'd mention it. Overall I think this was a great purchase, especially at $75, but I would probably pay another $40 to get one now that I have had the chance to use it. I feel that all of the trade offs are fair and expected at this price point, and that overall the scope is very good for my intended purchase. The main thing I would like improved is the purple fringing and clarity at higher zoom. Light and field of view fall off was expected based on the specs, but I wasn't expecting purple fringing and soft edges to occur until the very highest zoom range. That said, it's a fair trade off for the price, and for my backyard birding and other intended uses, I will only rarely be using it in the 35-55 zoom range anyway. ***** UPDATE ***** After having some more time to use this scope, I've updated my review from 4 to 5 stars. The reason is that it is actually quite sharp at full zoom, and I had initially thought it wasn't due to other obstructions altering the view, such as heat waves and poor air quality. I had the chance of using the scope in the afternoon, viewing objects not in direct sunlight, and was able to get perfectly clear imaging all the way to 55x, without soft edges and without purple fringing (which is usually an aberration caused by too much sun light). The field of view is also full from 18x all the way to 55x. I realized what I had been doing was not getting my eye close enough to the objective when in the higher zoom ranges. The eye relief is actually not as good as I had hoped and thought, and in order to see the full field of view I really have to squash my eye glasses right up to the lens and press down a bit. It is do-able, but not as comfortable or easy as it could be if there was more eye relief. But although eye relief is not as good as I originally thought, at least there are no issues with minimized field of view or soft edges as I had thought was the case before. Based on high clarity in ideal conditions, I had to go back and change my initial 4-star review to 5. The limits of this lens do not apply all of the time and do not apply to everyone (i.e., non-eye glass wearers), and it's not the fault of the scope for not having high end lens coatings or HD glass; those features are aptly found on more expensive lenses. As expected, this scope doesn't do more than it's advertised to do, and does exactly what it is advertised to do at a very reasonable price and with a nice form to function ratio.

I use spotting scopes for several purposes: Star Gazing, Looking around the valley, target shooting, enjoying the moon, and bird watching from home. We live on a mountain view home with a moderate sized piece of land. A nylon carrying bag is a provided but it is not protective in the sense of drops or shock. The covers for the objective and eyepiece are rudimentary. This scope doesn't come with a tripod. It needs a heavyweight stable base to work well, particularly at high magnification. This has a stabilizing bar that gives a more secure feel. The zoom is functional, and it does work out to the highest level. However, due to effects of sun, it can make for an indistinct view. The focus is adjusted in the front part of the body. The zoom is adjusted just under the eyepiece. For the money, it's a great quality scope. It's not a Swarovski or Vortex, but it's good enough for me. I can sight buildings and tractor trailer trucks several miles away. I can see the street conditions a few miles away. The scope works well out to 150 yards. There weren't any targets available at 250 yards. I could see shoot and see hits very distinctly. The biggest and major negative is size and weight. It's bigger than the average more practical scope, but I'm adaptable. I purchased a large carbon fiber tripod for this and it works extremely well. Overall, I'm very pleased.

the only reason i'm dinging this scope at all is that the large lens cap that came with it doesn't fit the scope right or its ridge is damaged such that it barely fits on it and falls off if you sneeze or look at it wrong. so total F for the lens cap....but the scope!!! the scope itself is so worth well beyond the money. i stared through leupolds and vortexes that were many many times the price of this scope while shopping around, but based on the reviews here at amazon decided wth, i'll give this celestron a try. i had purchased a celestron microscope for my kids in the past and was impressed with its quality so i thought why not. well, i'm so glad i didn't shell out 4 digits for a more expensive scope because this scope delivers. the quality of glass amazed me. it was very very clear. at 150 yards and less i could CLEARLY see .223 holes made on WHITE paper. when you get further, you can still see it but like all scopes once you have to zoom out too far, the shake makes it harder to see. i took this scope to the range with my friends--one of whom had the 4 digit vortex scope which was definitely quality, but provided no better of a view than my celestron. seriously, no better of a view. they looked equally clear and had the same zoom. we spotted each other for hitting big steel targets at 300 and 400+ yards! back at home, the spotting scope also works beautifully to look at stars or bird watch with the kids. you absolutely need to get a quality tripod for a any spotting scope and this one is no exception. in fact, make sure your tripod is sturdy. as you can see, this scope is very front heavy and you don't want to tip over. also, there are camera adapters available for this scope so you can take pictures of your spotting scope view. i haven't tried this yet but mean to in the future. this scope is one of my "phew!" purchases of the year. the kind where you take a chance and are just beyond satisfied. very very happy with it! it is perfect for the shooting range.
