Something new out there:

http://www.opticsplanet.net/nikon-prostaff-5-16-48x60mm-zoom-spotting-scopes.html

26 ounces for a 60mm scope? One foot in length? Three interchangable EP's that are said to be designed to reduce CA?

Looks interesting for sure.

I like the looks and specs of the 60 mm Mark. I am curious about the multiple eyepiece issue. It mentions that there are multiple eyepieces but doesn't say what they are.

I've been looking at these new scopes with interest as well. Opticsplanet is listing (but not yet picturing) three eyepieces: a 20x, a 20-60 zoom, and a 38x. All have decent eye-relief, but don't look particularly wide angle (the 20x gives 2.8deg on the 80mm).

The eyepieces from the previous Prostaff Spotting Scope (RAIII in the UK) can still be used on the new model..
