La longue vue est assez petite mais du coup parfaite pour un jeune enfant, pareil pour la boîteÇa paraît solide

Muy logrado y bonito, yo lo regale a mi sobrino y no lo suelta, dice que es un pirata.Pero esta tan bien hecho y la Caja es tan chula que lo puede usar un adulto o como adorno

Das war wohl nichts - es kam ein Fernglas von sechsen an und bei dem war ein Glas vorne zerbrochen. Die Schatulle war in Ordnung, halt auch nur eine. Bei dem Preis ist man wohl selbst schuld.

I have read a lot of reviews before purchasing this, some complained about finish, some complained about magnification but a LOT of positive reviews as well.This is a toy telescope of course in an awesome wooden box, has a 2x magnification for what it's worth and build quality is awesome, when I expand collapse it, it feels like a cute little telescope and my little pirate has opened and shut it quite some times and still it feels ok so I'm confident it will survive and remain as a souvenir with safely tucked in in it's awesome box. No complaints, I'm happy.

Da tener presente ovviamente che è un gadget e non un oggetto professionale ma è perfetto come regalo per un bambino. io l'ho regalato a un bambino di 9 anni che lo ha adorato. La scatolina inoltre lo impreziosisce! considerato quanto l'ho pagato è stato un ottimo affare!

Schöne Holzbox, schöne Verarbeitung des Fernrohrs. Das Leder ist sauber verarbeitet, die "Messing"teile schon poliert. Auch das Holz der Box ist besser als ich dachte. Für Deko eine tolle Sache. Als Fernrohr absolut nicht zu gebrauchen - aber das war für mich nicht wichtig.

So, I like to carry lots of little knick-knacks and gewgaws around in my bag because, well, that's how I roll and I love optical devices (I also carry a great magnifying glass) so I was in the market for a cool little spyglass. I was considering a number of different ones including this. I finally decided upon this one when the price went down a little further.So what did I get for my money?Well the scope came two days after I ordered it (much faster than the estimate, I always love it when that happens and, in my experience, that's almost always the case with the marketplace orders) and it's gorgeous. The Box has a great arrangement of brass hardware and decoration and is lined with pretty nautical blue baize. A very nice storage container you'd probably agree.The scope itself looks lovely, I'm not sure still if the primary section is covered with thin leather or some artificial approximation of thin leather, either way it's not the richest feeling covering but certainly does the job well.The telescoping movement is smooth and substantial; I didn't have difficulty extending it all the way and neither did I feel concerned that it might collapse on me once fully extended.The optical strength of the scope isn't the greatest I've ever seen but it's surprisingly good for the size and price; I think (and this is an estimate I'll do some proper testing, come back and edit this bit) around a 7.5 to 10x enhancement, not the most practical level for a telescope obviously but pretty impressive for a novelty item (next time I have a clear night I'll try it out for a little near earth object gazing).Reading some of the other reviews, you'll see that some people had less than stellar experiences with this item. I think that this isn't surprising. My scope was excellent but it's entirely conceivable that there are, shall we say "erratic heights", in the level of quality from scope to scope. This is probably worth bearing in mind.It's not the greatest scope I've ever used but, for under twenty bucks, I'd have to be mental to expect that it would be. It is, however, a nice little toy/whimsical conversation piece. I think, for the most part, you're likely to be pleased with the scope you order, as long as you are expecting a cute little toy with some impressive optical enhancement not found on other fun little scopes.EDIT: Okay, I did test it and then neglected to report back, it's an 8x, so it's not really an optical tool, but, like I say throughout this, that shouldn't be an expectation with this. :)To the star ratings, a brief explanation:How much fun is this toy?5 stars because this really is a very fun little deviceHow would you rate this toy's educational value?3 stars because I think this would be a useful gift to jump start a number of interesting educational conversations with the right kid, about how optics work, about naval history and a bunch of other topics really.How durable is this toy?5 stars because despite the small size it has a nice and solid construction.How do you rate this toy overall?5 stars because it's generally ace.
