I have a Kowa 773 with the older 20-60x eye piece. I’ve read some older posts on here about the 25-60x Wide angle (TE 11WZII) being a big improvement. Other guys talk about the 30x wide angle (TE17W) or the 35x extreme wide angle (TE80XW) being the tits. Haven’t seen many recent posts so thought I would revive the topic.
To those who have run any combo of these what would you recommend? Pros and cons?
Also how about the 1.6x magnifier? Is that recommended? Does it cut down optical quality at all?
My context: hunting big country in Idaho primarily. Often glassing 2-3 miles out and using spotter to find game but also using spotter for trophy evaluation closer in. Currently have a set of Maven 11x45 binos that I use to spot game until the distances get too great.
