Hi
I have had my full size Opticron scope for a few years but TBH as I age I find it is, complete with tripod and head, getting a pain ( literally ) to cart around. I'm looking at a Nikon ED50 which were very popular a while back.
I can find these scopes for sale easily but Nikon Eyepieces seem a lot harder to track down. I'm after a 27W but can only find the DS version which isn't really what I want.
The only ones I can readily available seem to be the zooms but the smaller angle of view puts me off. Is there anywhere I can find the eyepiece I'm after or should I look at the DS? I have the idea that it is bulkier than the MC and not as good for viewing.
I mainly watch from the Norfolk reserves or Kent Marshes
Thanks for your help
