Message: <blockquote data-quote="Milo" data-source="post: 200738" data-attributes="member: 13238">Ziess Protective Cover For ANGLED Diascope 85 T* FL??Thanks in part to some great advice from members of BirdForum, I have decided to purchase the Diascope 85 T* FL angled view model as my first birding scope. I of course want to protect it with a jacket, but thought I saw some complaints about this in my browsing a while back. I recall comments like it did not fit snugly and the holes did not align properly. The Ziess brand protective jacket for the straight view model seems really expensive at around US$150 and it would be a lot of money to spend on top of the major purchase of the scope for something "defective."For those of you with the ANGLED model scope, did you get the jacket and what is your opinion of it. If it is really bad, are there any other alternatives? Thanks in advance for your postings.MiloPS: Originally I posted I was getting the straight view model but changed my mind.</blockquote>
