About:

 

The main advantage of a zoom is surely the simple handling. You just need one eyepiece to achieve a wide range of magnifications. Also the eye relief is comfortable, if you choose 7 or up to 21mm focal length. If you wear glasses, you may use them in each magnification. the eyepiece looks very similar to the TS-Zoom.

When zooming in, you may need to adjust the focus a little bit. The eyepiece is not a 100% homofocal.
