Not good quality

I bought this to replace a crappy 8x20 finder than came with my scope, wanting a bigger field and brighter image. Compared to that, it does both... but the FOV still isn't very large. No wonder that it isn't advertised in the specs; a binocular with similar price would state the field of view.
For 50€ I would have thought that the quality was better though. The unit I got had a weird lens shaped exit pupil, so I unscrewed the eyepiece and saw that a plastic part holding the erecting prism had been assembled bad and was blocking some of the light. It was easy enough to pull the prism out and snap the part in place, but I shouldn't have to do that. Did I mention that the prism was not coated in any way? And the roof of the prism was not sharp, rather nasty looking in fact - luckily it is far from the focal plane and with the low magnification it isn't really noticeable in use (I wouldn't have known if I hadn't disassembled the thing in the first place).
I'm giving 2 stars anyway because the supplied holder is a nice cast alloy piece with a spring loaded peg holding the finderscope against the adjustment screws, making alignment a breeze.
