Product Description

"The Yukon 6-100x100 is a revolutionary spotting scope that delivers crystal-clear magnification from 6x to 100x, with no distortion or loss of image quality. Yukon's engineers have achieved this exclusive capability by using two multi-coated objective lenses, one with a 35mm aperture and the other with a 100mm aperture. Both lenses share a common ocular lens, which allows for a smooth transition as the viewer adjusts the scope to the desired magnification. For low magnification observation, the device utilizes the 35 mm lens. Linear zooming allows magnification adjustments between 6 and 25x. When more magnification is desired, the flip of a switch shifts the light path from one lens to the other. With the 100mm objective lens, zooming capabilities increase to 25-100x magnifications. The enormous light gathering capability of the 100mm lens creates a bright and clear picture in nearly all-viewing conditions, including twilight.In accordance to Yukon Advanced Optics' tradition, the Yukon 100x's design provides the user both power, quality and comfort. The scope's body is surprisingly lightweight and compact, making it easy to transport. The high-quality optics are guarded by a durable, composite body. To prevent viewing fatigue or discomfort, a specially designed adjustable 45-degree, rotating eyepiece is utilized to suit the viewer's comfort from any angle, even when lying on the ground. The unit accommodates both photographic and spotting scope tripods and can double as a telescope for late night stargazing."

Customer Reviews

Can't complain
I am no expert when it comes to scopes, had one given to me as a freebie :-)

I can't give you techie specs, but I can say I am happy with the scope. The clarity is superb, even at night. I can't quite get a pinpoint focus at full magnification. When looking at a star it seems a bit fuzzy, don't know if this is normal!

Switching over from 6x-20x is via a small dial which is quite smooth. When it switches over you might have to refocus a bit, but it maintains the point you were looking at. When zooming in you will have to keep refocusing. When at full zoom there doesn't seem to be clearly defined lines, but good enough to read a car registration plate at 1.1km. At 1.3km I could just about make out some of the letters through the heat haze, but lost it at 1.4km.

When panning around at mid range magnification I was surprised to see so much more detail. Objects completely invisible to the naked eye appear with good clarity.

The bag is pretty good and allows you to mount it on a tripod without taking the scope out. The tripod is very basic and not much use at 100x. You cannot touch the scope when on the pod at that magnification, way too much wobble, but OK if you keep your eye just off it.

Also liked the fact that you can swivel the eyepiece around to suit your comfort.

As a nooby with only experience of cheapo binoculars I give it a 5.
