The optics on the Ultima 80 are surprisingly good; better than you'd expect on a scope at this price. Multicoatings on the lenses along with the 80mm aperture combine for bright, very well defined images. There is very slight chromatic aberration, which is to be expected in this price range. However, eye relief is inadequate for eyeglasses beyond about 30x.
