Hi,
I'm looking to purchase a lightweight 60mm scope for use when walking reasonable distances, but want better resolution than my MM2. I've narrowed my options down to:
Opticron IS60 WP + 32x HDF eyepiece = £259
Kowa TSN 601 + 30x WA eyepiece = £550
Kowa TS 611 + 27x eyepiece ~ £200 off Ebay
Obviously the 601 will be better than the opticron, but is it really good enough to warrant paying over twice as much?
Would I be better off getting the (older model) TS 611 and waiting until TSN 601's come down in price or secondhand start to become available, upgrading eyepiece first then scope?
Any thoughts much appreciated,
Dunder
