Fieldscope or Kowa? (1 Viewer)

[Wildwestbirder]

I,m in the market for a smaller scope instead of carting around my big Opticron everywhere, 60-70mm
I had set on the Nikon Fieldscope ed60 111 but then noticed a few Kowa tsn661 on ebay for a few more bucks. Has anyone used either or both scopes and is the Kowa waterproof? Neil

We've got a demo unit of the Kowa TSN-602 w/ TE-9Z 20-60x Zoom Eyepiece for only $699.99

Neil, don't forget that the Kowa's ending 1/2 e.g. 661 / 662, 601 /602 have standard glass, and will not produce an image as good as an ED fieldscope.

If really wanting 'smaller scope' do consider the 553.
