The viewing panel of a digital camera attached to a straight scope is surely going to be less comfortable to view than with an angled scope, I would guess.David Bl said:Perhaps those more expert than I (which doesn't take a lot) might disagree. But if so, I'd be very inteested in reading why they disagree.

An angled ED50 on a shoulder pod is ideal for active use. If you're tall, looking into a high tree with a straight scope is difficult - as is looking up into the sky. I think you'd probably get used to either - but if you're tall, or have a bad neck go for angled. Resale value of angled is always better, too.Jane Turner said:I think that the queation you need to answer for yourself first is...
"how am I going to use the scope (mostly)?"
If the answer is mostly from a car/hide - then go for angled. If more actively, then straight. I will only contemplate a straight scope. I am hidephobic and mostly use a small scope on a shoulder-pod.
