I had not realized there was such a model untill now. So I wonder how it compares to the Fieldscope ED82A.
The reason I ask is that I had a brief chance to look through the Kowa 883 this weekend, and next to it was a Nikon 82. There would also have been a Swaro80 to look through. I was, however mainly interested in the Kowa at the moment, and I was just trying to find something to compare it with. So I compared the Kowa with the Nikon, thinking it was the ED82, of which I had read so many good reports. (Plus I have a Fieldscope EDIII 65 myself.) Well, the difference between the two scopes' views was enormous. Actually hardly believable, under my original thinking that I was comparing the ED82 with the Kowa. Both scopes were at 60x and they were focussed on some far away boats. So here is my question, how much do the Prostaff and the ED82 differ in brightness and contrast?
