Poor quality control
When down to the Aldi store in Ashby de la ZOUCH on Sunday 21 June 2015 to purchase the 8x40 binoculars. Tried the only 2 pairs that were out on display and both were not correctly collimated.

Not for serious observations.
I bought my scope a couple of years ago. At up to 40 times magnification the image is quite good but above that the sharpness falls off until hardly worth using at 60 times which is the main reason for using such an instrument. I suspect I may have bought a worse than average example and would rather have paid more for a better quality product.

Good value
I bought the spotting-scope several years ago and found it very useful for birdwatching and occasionally for watching shipping at sea. I have also used it for observing the moon. At the lower end of the magnification range the image is bright and sharp. The image is acceptable at higher magnifications.
Because of the angled eyepiece it is not always easy to find the target quickly but for the same reason the scope is comfortable to use when properly positioned.
Unfortunately, my dog recently knocked over the full-sized tripod that my scope was mounted on and the scope broke in half at the joint between the two parts. To be fair, I think any spotting scope would have been damaged by the fall but the irreparable break into two parts was a bit upsetting. I can comfort myself with the thought that at least I hadn't paid hundreds of pounds for it.
