Hey,
I am looking at buying my fist scope. I am interested in the Nikon Sky and Earth series 15-45x 60mm due to my limited budget as well I still need a tripod. I am a taller guy at 6'4" so the angled version of this scope appeals to me. I have found the straight scope with eyepiece included for $229 US at Digital Foto Club (http://www.digitalfotoclub.com). However I can only seem to find the 80mm angled scope with an eyepiece included (At Digital Foto as well as other online places). I priced out the angled body of the 60mm with a seperate eyepiece and its total came to $321 US. This would mean that the angled version of the Nikon Sky and Earth series 15-45x 60mm would cost me approximately $91 US more. Is this usually the case that the angled versions are more money?
Also I am from Ontario, Canada and I was wondering if anyone knows of any Canadian Optics shops that are good to deal with?
I would like to buy in house if possible to save on shipping etc.
Thanks any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Bart
