I'm sure the subject of spotting scopes has been discussed here before, the
dialogue went into one ear and out the other because I wasn't in the market
at the time. Now I wish to upgrade from my old Bushnell Spacemaster to one
of the newer high-end models.
Based on a query with Eagle Optics, the obvious candidates appear to be Kowa,
Swarovski, Nikon and Fujinon. Others might include Baush & Lomb, Celestron,
Meade, Pentax and Leica.
I'd appreciate brief comments from anyone concerning their recommendations.
In addition to brand and model, I am also interested in your thoughts on
straight vs angled eyepeices and standard vs ED glass.
Thank you in advance for your input.
