    Not quite as bad as the other reviewer – it actually does magnify if you get your eye VERY close to the ocular. But he is correct, the actual visible field of view narrows, in addition (of course) to the available field of view in the more-magnified image. The reason for my poor review is that the image quality goes to very-blah at anything more than about 20x. Poor contrast, lousy edge clarity, blurry – - you name it. This is the kind of quality I’d expect from a bargain-basement scope for $30. In addition, it’s absolutely horrible to focus, because it takes so much force to move the focus ring that you can’t keep the scope pointed at your target. So why two stars? Well, it’s nicely armored and the big objective lens makes the image very bright. If you’re not too particular about image quality and you don’t mind plastering your eyeball right up against the eyepiece, maybe this would work for you. Mine is getting returned.

    I took the scope out of the box, took it outside to try it out and was shocked at how poorly it worked. On the lowest power it worked fine, but as you turned the magnification up the size of the field got smaller and smaller until, at maximun power it was like looking through a pinhole. Objects did not appear closer and closer. You just saw less and less as the sides just shrunk in. I immediately returned it. The service from Amazon.com was very good.

    This is exactly what I wanted. It took me a while to figure out how to focus it for long distances but once I did it was awesome.
