I bought one as well. Couldn’t pass it up. Really digging the black as opposed to the standard green body.

Possibly because the promo helped them sell out of that limited edition model - it's also now showing as out of stock. You might be able to contact them and see if they can honor the same price on a pre-order ...

What do you mean by “too big of drop”? Just curious if it’s drop in quality or drop in zoom etc.

I was looking for a good used Kowa 553 and ran across the sale at B&H photo. Normally, 1799 but now 1399 (400 off) for the Anniversary edition (black body and comes with a case and only 100 in US). If you get their credit card, B&H also pays for the tax.

I couldn't resist and pulled the trigger as I haven't seen a better price for a new 553.

I leaned the value of an Angled spotter fall sheep hunting with Parker Wallace - you could hide behind a rock and view sheep with an angled spotter for better concealment. No doubt a straight is easier to find the target but an angled was much more comfortable to adjust when using a ball head.

Just ordered one. Can't pass it up for that price and the cover costs $125 so smoking deal. This will go in the pack when I'm tired of lugging around the BTX 95mm
