The Olivon T50 spotting scope is an ideal take anywhere compact spotting scope. The 12x30x magnification range is perfect for a range of uses, with 12-15x ideal for hand holding. 16-30x will require a mount.
As with many higher end spotting scopes, the new Olivon T50 comes with the centre focus system on the body. This means it is easy to adjust with gloves on and will reduce the risk of altering the twist eye cup and zoom on the eyepiece accidentally.
The prism is BK7. But do not be put off by this and modern day BK7 prisms are improving all the time. Lens coatings are multi-coated, which should offer true colours with good contrast.
Although not nitrogen gas filled, it should be OK if in a light shower for a few minutes.
