I bought the S2 in January. The spotter is second to none in my opinion. It is clearer than my buddy's 5 year Swarovski. Meopta makes Cabelas European optics. The cabelas version is the same as the S2 except that S2 you can choose between a 20-70zoom or a wide angle 30-60 which iswhat I chose. I highly recommend this spotter. Hope this helps
