A friend has kindly offered to give me his old Nikon Fieldscope IIIA. He lost the eyepiece but seems to think I can find a replacement somewhere. I know nothing about scopes, but I'm hoping I can find something that will fit.
Here's what he says about it:
"It has a 60 mm diameter outer lens. It comes with a field case and indoor storage case. Unfortunately, the original 40X eyepiece dropped out while I was carrying the scope in the field and was lost years ago. I believe a replacement eyepiece would be designated as either Mc or Ds. Replacement eyepieces of a variety of powers can apparently be ordered from dealers in Japan and have sold perhaps in neighborhood of $300. A fixed 30X or a zoom eyepiece might perhaps be more useful than the lost 40X. In its day, roughly about the early 2000s, the Fieldscope III was highly rated..."
As I have Nikon DSLR cameras, I am hoping to also perhaps use this for digiscoping.
Thanks for any possible leads. Happy birding!
