The elegant sytling of this reproduction makes it highly desirable, while functional as well. It maginifies 25 times with an object lens of 45mm. Focusing is by finger-tip twist control, from about 40 yards to infinity. The sheesham wood (similar in appearance to teak) tripod has solid brass fittings and is height-adjustable on each leg to compensate for uneven surfaces. Brass barrel length is 39.5’ and tripod height adjusts from 3ft 6in to 6ft 3in. 20 LB.
