Talking of its weight that is mere 435 grams is not a guess but can surely not be a botheration.

The zooming is based on the eye piece adjustments and as desired by the user.

With the central focus system it performs the perfect manner. The close observation can be up to 4m when the zoom is been set at 10x levels. The field of view at the same levels is 2.3 degree and 40m while at 35x zoom it is 1.5 degrees and 27m.
Eye relief:
The fact that the user is comfortable irrespective of the spectacle wearers or the naked eye users, the deciding fact is that it is rated based on the eye relief.
