Meopta Meostar S2 82 HD Spotting Scope

The Meopta Meostar S2 is a truly outstanding scope that easily holds its own with scopes from top-tier manufacturers that can cost up to twice as much. This is the scope I use as my personal high-performance birding and wildlife scope, and I would (and have) happily sit it side-by-side with Swarovski, Leica and Zeiss scopes and it can more than hold its own. It is a fantastic scope, and while expensive, it does offer phenomenal value when you compare it to its top-flight competition.

Price Range: High (€1,000-€2,000+)

Description

Pros: Great looking scope. Robust magnesium alloy, rubber armoured body feels light and very tough. Wide field of view is exceptionally bright, sharp and detailed right to the edge of the field. Superb performance throughout the zoom range. Excellent ergonomics. Centre-ring focus dial quick, easy and accurate. Compact and easy to handle for a full size spotting scope.

Cons: Very little to criticise here. Focus ring and eyepiece zoom dial perhaps a little on the stiff side (may ease up with use). Would be handy if eyepiece lens cover could be tethered to the eyepiece (easy to lose).

Price: GB£1,899 (c.€2,025) body + 30-60x Wide Angle eyepiece (20-70x high power eyepiece also available).

Value: Excellent

Rating: Highly Recommended

Meopta is a Czech sports optics company that has been producing high quality spotting scopes and binoculars for many years. With the S2 they raise the bar on their scope line-up to produce an instrument that competes with the very best in terms of performance but at a significantly lower price point.

If you’re in the market for a new top-flight spotting scope, your choice just got a whole lot more interesting. Take a look through a Meopta S2 before making your decision.
