Hi,
I'm relatively new here and would like some advice.
I have a Kowa 823 Flourite Prominar spotting scope with attachments to my Canon 5D mk4 camera. However, I also have a Canon 100-400 L ll lens and teleconverters and other L series lenses. In all, quite heavy.
With my tripod and other paraphernalia, that's a long to drag around at the onset of early middle age . Also, the photographs are better through the Canon lens which, with the 1.4 teleconverter, has a similar focal length to the spotting scope with the 35mm eyepiece fitted (though nowhere near as long as the 20-60x).
I am thinking about selling the Kowa scope (which would be a shame because I think it is really good) and purchasing instead a good set of binoculars. I have the scope to sell, with 35x and 20-60x eyepieces, a Kowa C821 case and two different camera attachments (Kowa 850mm and a Novagrade digiscoping adapter set), so should be able to afford a decent set of binoculars - perhaps around £800.00?
Am I making the right decision? If so, which binoculars and at what strength?
Thoughts please?
