Combining all the features that make our travelscopes the #1 choice for thousands of users the world over, the MM4 50 GA ED series continue to deliver our maxim; “smaller, lighter, brighter, sharper” to anyone searching for a supremely compact & versatile high quality instrument for long range accurate observation while on the move.
Designed & manufactured in Japan, the compact HDF ED optical system creates an instrument only 205mm/8.1" long. Constructed from lightweight materials, an MM4 50 weighs about the same as pair of 42mm binoculars and can be used without a support for crystal clear flat-field observation at magnifications below 20x. Unlike binoculars, they deliver stunning clarity and definition up to 36x when fitted with the SDL zoom eyepiece. Compatible with MM3, HR, HDF and SDL eyepieces, existing fieldscope owners can use their eyepiece with an MM4 body.

These are well-made scopes and both deliver very good images. Optically, I think the 60mm is a bit better, and it does have higher magnification. But the 50mm is smaller, a little lighter, less expensive and focuses much closer. If you’re making the choice, choose which of those features is more important to you.

Overall, I found this scope intuitive and fun to use, and was pleasantly surprised by its optical performance. It has certainly made me a travel scope convert!
