[QUOTE="Vespobuteo, post: 3080778, member: 120830"] I would like to hear about user experiences or tests/comparisons of these two scopes. I know that the 773 don't have the Fluorite chrystal element, but is it visible? CA? I have tried the 883 and I liked the view very much. The CA-free view is very pleasing since I am easily disturbed by CA. The 773 I have only tried very brief. The sample I tried had visible spots inside and I wonder if there are more QA issues with Kowa scopes than with others? The extra light gathering capacity is of course what you get with the 883. Still it 's not much heavier. But a TSN-773 + a fixed 30x Wide EP could be a very nice "budget" intro to the Kowa scopes is my thought. I really like the extra AFOV/FOV a fixed eye piece gives. Happy for any input! [/QUOTE]
