Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Discoverer is a versatile, high-performance spotting scope offering a wide range of functions for terrestrial viewing, yet is well-suited for amateur astronomy. Easily zooms from fifteen power (15x) to sixty power (60x). Multi-coated lenses provide maximum light transmission for a bright, clear image. Rubberized surface protects the product in a wide variety of situations. With the addition of two simple adapters (22-3030 and a camera body adapter), the Discoverer becomes a 1000mm to 4000mm telephoto zoom lens for most 35mm single lens reflex cameras.

Specifications for this Bushnell spotting scope include:

• Magnification: 15-60x
• Objective lens: 60mm
• Field of view (feet at 1,000 yards): 150 at 15x, 38 at 60x

Tech Talk
Magnification: Spotting scopes are often referred to by two numbers separated by an "x". For example: 15-45x60. The first number is the power or magnification of the spotting scope. With a 15-45x60 variable power spotting scope, the object being viewed appears to be 15-45 times closer than you would see it with the unaided eye.

Field of View: Field of view is the side-to-side measurement of the circular viewing field or subject area. It is defined by the width in feet or meters of the area visible at 1000 yards or meters. A wide field of view is better for following fast-moving action or scanning for wildlife. Generally, the higher the magnification, the narrower the field of view.

This review is from: Bausch & Lomb 15-60x60 Spotting Scope (Electronics)

I purchased this scope for hunting but found it to be great at all aspects of observation. I have had great results in using this scope for spoting deer, turkey, even an occasional bob cat. It is versital, not to heavy but able to seek out and bring close that which is out of reach. I wear glasses and the option for using the eye piece with them is very helpful when trying to locate and focus on a certain object or positions before viewing them through the scope. With the tripod it is a great stable platform for getting the view you are wanting to see. I plan to purchase the camera adapter so as to be able to photograph many of the things I love to track and view. Highly recomend the purchase and use of this telescope.
