Not Alpha Glass by any means but not far away from it. Doug recommended this as the best compact spotter in this market niche. I could not be happier.



Interesting. I have never heard of that brand before. I bought my Lieca binoculars from Doug and he knows his stuff. Thanks for the information


The Athlon Cronus 12-36x50 ED Spotting Scope is an excellent unit. I cannot think of any other compact unit that comes close to this quality near this price point.
