    New Nikon travel scope

    More news. I contacted Nikon UK by e-mail yesterday, as follows: "I visited the Birdfair at Rutland Water in August 2006, where a prototype stay-on case was on display. Nikon staff suggested that this new case would be on sale in the UK from October through the usual optics retailers...

    New Nikon travel scope

    I looked through one again on Saturday. Using a monopod x20 and x30 eyepieces worked well for me, though I was in a showroom so was not exposed to the wind. A higher magnification certainly needed a tripod to get the best out of the scope/eyepiece combination. Note that that the standard MC...

    Yep, I tried this scope at BF too, and its a little cracker! I understand its going to be £299 without an eyepiece and will be on sale sometime in September.
