I recently purchased second-hand a Diascope 85mm which has a black Zeiss cover. I don't like the cover it looks shabby and Zeiss in large capital letters along its side could have been a bit more subtle.

Did Skua make a case specifically for this model? Unfortunately Skua are now out of business but there may be another firm which makes good quality cases.

Can anyone throw any light on this subject? What do others use?

Skua definitely did make a case for this, because I've got one - it's a very snug fit, but generally excellent, up to their usual high standards.

It was very hard to track down, though. Think I may have got one of the last ones available new, and that was approx six years ago.

Creedmoor.

Ask staff to add a handle for a secure grip.

Hi there,

Has anyone tried the latest cordura stay-on case for the Diascope range? They seem to look very smart but have a pretty hefty price tag mind.

All the best,

Chris.
