Let me start off by saying this purchase was to replace a 20 year old spotter that had been through the ringer, and still holds its place in my backup pack. If you are going to upgrade and move away from any of the big name guys out there this is for you. Though a bit heavier as I stated in my earlier review of the Maven Binos, this thing is incredible. The light collection during those early or long shadow times makes this worth every penny. I am a Maven Fan. Keep up the good work.
