New Kowa 55 experience?

[lifeisgoodsteve]

Hi All,

For those who pulled the trigger on the new Kowa 55, now that you've got scouting and some of the hunting season under your belt with it, what are your thoughts?

What are you coming from as a spotter?

Is the wider field of view in real life a game changer to broaden its usability or still limited for your application?

I am curious as well, following for results.. however if the new 55 is comparable in size to the 501, she is TINY in real life, and super light compared to a 65

Also would like to hear same feedback. What the negatives from going from a 77 or 65? Obvously you are loosing zoom from 50/60 zoom to 40 zoom. In reality if you are not counting inches does that matter?

Tough to find much info on this one still. Hopefully someone has some insight now that most hunting seasons are winding down.
