    Spotting Scope vs. Nikon P900

    Despite having a small sensor it still manages to take better pictures than even the most expensive digiscoping setups. If you check out the digiscoping section over on birdforum you will see that the community there recommends putting a phone behind your spotting scope rather than a DSLR...

    Spotting Scope vs. Nikon P900

    It's 100% optical. Retails for $600 but I see new ones going for $400 on eBay. Images look very good considering the sensor size and it also has image stabilization making it useable without a tripod. Shooting .22lr @ 200yds - Nikon P900 - YouTube NIKON Coolpix P900 Optical Zoom Test - Moon...

    Spotting Scope vs. Nikon P900

    I just purchased a Leica Televid APO 62 for target spotting and digiscoping and I'm now wondering whether the Nikon P900 would have been a better choice for my usage. The P900 has 83x zoom and is much lighter than the Leica Televid. The tilt/swivel display could be more convenient than an...

    Best 55-65mm lightweight portable spotting scope?

    The only Televid 20-60 currently available is $525 on ebay but after looking at previously sold listings, you are correct.

    Anybody know what eyepiece is on the new Kowa TSN-553? Is it compatible with Kowa's WA zoom eyepiece?

    I wish I could use the newer Leica 25-50 WA on my 62 theres one for $450 that I would pick up in a heartbeat if it was compatible.

    Best 55-65mm lightweight portable spotting scope?

    I'm sure it'll be fine for my usage. I found that the zoom EPs were going for more than twice as much as the fixed EPs on the used market so it won't be too expensive if I want to switch over to fixed in the future. The Vortex would have been about $100 cheaper and would have a better warranty...

    Just purchased the Leica APO 62 for $900 with the zoom EP, hopefully it doesn't suck.

    Best 55-65mm lightweight portable spotting scope?

    The Leica is really tempting, I see them going for $8-900 on ebay with the fixed EP. Unfortunately it seems like it may not have the best zoom EP option. If I go with the Kowa I will probably opt for the 60mm version to save some weight, I really like the fact that it goes all the way to 60x...

    Best 55-65mm lightweight portable spotting scope?

    I'm not afraid of fixed eyepieces, all my camera lenses are primes, but this specific scope will only wear a zoom EP so buying a scope that is compatible with a top of the line zoom EP is important. It's a principle thing, I don't like buying anything new. I buy everything that I can used so...

    Best 55-65mm lightweight portable spotting scope?

    I saw Broomd's classified post but I'm only looking at scopes with zoom EPs. Broomd said something about how he thought the Leica 16-48x EP was subpar which has put me off of the Leica 62 APO since I will only be using it with the zoom EP. I wish I could afford the 55mm Kowa, I can see myself...

    Best 55-65mm lightweight portable spotting scope?

    I am shopping for a 55-65mm objective lens spotting scope that ideally weighs less than 45 oz. The scope will be used for hunting and digiscoping with my Fuji X-T20. Compatibility with a top notch zoom EP that's bright and pin sharp at 40x is essential because I won't be using any fixed mag EPs...
