A product that I anticipate will undoubtedly create a new benchmark in the field of compact instruments.. I would like to inform you that the "ZOOM KIT" version is available at a price of €2,698.00 (price suggested by Kowa Optimed Deutschland GmbH. Have a good read and enjoy!

At the reported price, it better be!

Al prezzo riportato, meglio che sia!

If it had been a Swarovski, for many the price would be widely justified , but this is better than the Austrian ATS, which costs - at least in Italy - the same price

Hello Piergiovanni, thanks for this test report. Did you try the 66A + TE-80XW eyepiece?

Thank you (from a fellow Italian, so I can read you in the original language)!

I have an Opticron 60 ED MM4 with 15-45 SLDv3; would the difference with the Kowa be noticeable?
How wide is the field of view through the Kowa eyepiece?

Hi Luca, difficult for me to give you an answer since I cannot try them both, what I can tell you is that this new small spotting scope is definitely sharp with high contrast and excellent containment of chromatic aberration. Regarding the linear field you can find the specifications on the official website, certainly it would be nice to have a new fixed wide-angle eyepiece with lower magnification than what is currently available. CIAO!

I also had the privilege to review a TSN 66A and it totally convinced me. In The Netherlands it sells for a few hundred euro's less than the Swaro-equivalent. I hope you can translate this:
