    Fieldscope ED82 vs new KOWAs

    A little while back, I received helpful advice from forum members on my Kowa Prominar 66A vs 88A deliberations (thank you!). I haven't yet made this purchase. The vendor has an excellent return policy, so I thought I would try both out and return one. (I've hesitated to place the order simply...
