[0.125 lb] If you can afford it, get it! You won't be disappointed. Excellent clarity and light. Paired with the ATX, it get a little soft at 70x when looking at very long distances but I suspect that would be the case for any optics due to the air disturbances growing with distance. No regrets!

[0.125 lb] Great glass. It truly excels in all areas but especially in low light. Big and heavy so might not be ideal for packing in somewhere. I got the angled eyepiece and a heavy tripod for it. It's great.

[0.125 lb] The binocular like setup makes it very comfortable In use. I paired it with the ATX 95mm objective and the image is bright even though the light is split into two paths. The image quality is as expected for a top shelf spotting scope. There is not much else I can add to ota optical performance. I will just mention a few things about it when in use.

I compared with the Leica scope in B & H and what made the sale was the focusing ring, it is so smooth and easy to grab and adjust when compared with the tiny and tight shell on the Leica Televid.

The focus aid works fine to help with aiming the acope but it seems cheap being entirely made of plastic, and the forehead rest, for me, is useless.

The BTX and 95mm ATX combination is a large scope and on the tripod, it is not very balanced when mounted on the balance rail.
It feels awful on a ballhead as it "wants" to drop off in all different sides all the time if I don't hold on to it tight while moving it around. So trying to following a moving object does not work with a ball head. It works fine on a video pan and tilt head but I think a gimball head may be better.

I am still looking for a set of tripod legs for this setup. I used a big manfrotto and a medium sized Gitzo but both have annoying vibrations. I am planning to test it on a set of wooden telescope legs.

A minor complaint: the covers for the oculars are on a leash, which is great, but that for the objective is not and I struggle to find a place to store that large front cover when in use.

[0.125 lb] I replaced an older, spotting scope. If you want a high quality lens this is a really top flight one. Yesterday I was using the 60 X high magnification to view bald eagles perched in trees nearly a mile away. Really clear, high quality image. Also the 25 X wide angle works well to locate waterfowl at 200-500 M. Then you can zoom in without losing focus.

[Neoprene] Stunning clarity

[Neoprene] I had the 95mm lens for 3 years and upgraded as soon as this 115mm lens was available. Early morning and late evening light capture is phenomenal! Well worth the dollars to upgrade.

[0.125 lb] able to sit and scope for hours without any eye fatigue

[0.125 lb] I selected this objective lens to combine with the angled viewing eyepiece to primarily use with birding. This was the perfect size lens to meet most of my birding needs--it has great field of view, particularly combined with the extender. This makes viewing birds, ducks, owls, and mergansers which are quite a distance out on/over the Lake or fields--providing ability to easily identify and even see images of high detail. It is heavier than my other scope to carry long distances, particularly with the tripod, though, even as a small, older woman, it is not too difficult. I do plan eventually to get the 65mm to heft around longer distances.

[0.125 lb] Very comfortable for long viewing sessions. Once you get your eyes adjusted from your previous scopes holds. Very confident in holding for mirage based wind holds. Using both eyes is a dream!

[Neoprene] While the images from the 115 are just ridiculously good, this objective lens is very substantial in size. I ordered the Gitzo GT5355LS on a Swarovski tripod head from B&H for the stability. The through-the-lens pictures as part of this review are me hand-holding a smart-phone, so the blur is from hand-shake. The eagle is 200 yards at 70X. The shoreline is 2,800 yards at 30X. If image means everything and you're not intimidated by the size, this is state-of-the-art and arguably the best image money can buy for a spotting scope.
