ED50

This weighs less than my binoculars and is as easy to hand hold. I use mine on a shoulder pod and take it out every time I go birding. Its made my big scope redundant. I even find myself using it for sea watching. Its so easy to use, I get less judder when scanning my big scope, which I now have pointed at a fixed point and go "casting" with the ED50.

I use the 27x WA lens on it and would strongly recommend this over any zoom.

Agreed with the people above me. It's a very nice travel scope which wont leave my camera bag soon. It's an ideal piece to bring along instead of binoculars if you're out taking pictures anyway, however on most trips I bring all 3 (cam, bin and scope) it's THAT light

Since this review wont allow me to choose my currency: I paid 400 for both the scope and the eyepiece. A real bargain, but it was a last one in stock ex-demo.

Must agree with almost everyone above. Quite simply this scope is brilliant.
I use it with the 27X wide angle eyepiece and cannot fault this combination.
I was considering a second (40X wide angle) eyepiece and would appreciate any comments from anyone using this particular combination.
