Hi
I have been using an Opticron HR60 for some time, and have decided to stop dithering and upgrade the scope.
I am about to choose between purchasing a used, but excellent condition, Kowa 823M with 32 x WA ep (fold down rubber), or a new (no used model available!) Nikon ED82, with a 30W or 25-75 ep. Price for Kowa is circa £650, and price for Nikon is £300 more, circa £950 (depending on ep).
I have recently bought a Nikon P5100, and would like to try digiscoping.
Which scope represents best quality, value for money, and flexibility for digiscoping?
Your experienced views would be greatly appreciated.
