Greetings, everyone!
In recent years, I have enjoyed birdwatching using binoculars and my Nikon P950 (which has excellent zoom capabilities). However, as I frequently visit a nearby lake to observe and count gulls at their roosting site, I have realized the need for a spotting scope. My budget for this purchase is approximately 1000€.
After testing out several spotting scopes across different price ranges, I was particularly impressed by Leica's Televid 82. Unfortunately, it exceeds my budget constraints for quite a bit, so I am exploring other options.
I am looking for a spotting scope that performs well in low light conditions and is durable for long-term use. I am currently considering Nikon's Prostaff 5 Fieldscope 82. Does anyone have firsthand experience with this model? Alternatively, should I consider saving up a bit more for a Monarch Fieldscope?
I am also open to suggestions regarding other brands and models that could meet my requirements. Please feel free to share your recommendations. Kindly note that I am located in Slovenia, which may affect the availability of certain brands and models.
