Hi.
I would like a 12x to supplement my Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32 for long distance viewing over larger lakes or the sea. I do not like to cary a scope when the backpack is filled with camera equipment.
I have narrowed the choice down to either the Kowa SV 12x50 or the Nikon Monarch 5 12x42. They are priced about the same in Denmark and reasonable in size and weight.
Which one would you choose? Does the bigger exit pupil in the Kowa negate the advantage of ED glass in the Nikon?
Greetings from Denmark.
