Kowa Vendors for US (1 Viewer)

Season's Greetings,
I am a US resident & interested in getting a late holiday present for myself: a Kowa TSN 663 ED Angled 66mm Spotting Scope (either new or lightly used). Who do you recommend as a vendor with rock bottom prices? Also, I wear eyeglasses. What are my best bets for eyepieces? 20-60x? 30X WA? Please offer your recommendations. Thanks!
Neil
 
Hi Neil,

I think Eagle Optics would be a good place to start. The TE-14WD 30x is a VERY sweet eyepiece. I think it is probably the best "starter" choice for that scope. The quick change bayonette mount makes it fairly painless to swap out to the 45x eyepiece too if you want more power. If you think you use 60x often then it would probably be best to get a larger scope.

happy new year,
Rick
 
Hi Rick,
Thanks for your reply. I will look into (so to speak) the 30x eyepiece.
Happy New Year!
Neil.
