Kowa TSN-883 Angled 88mm Prominar Spotting Scope (Requires Eyepiece)

The TSN-880 series is the larger of the two newest scope lines from Kowa. We've reviewed scopes before. We've reviewed Kowa scopes before. We've never seen anything like this scope before!

I got the Kowa TSN-883 for bird watching. I have a Nikon ED50 fieldscope that was easy to carry around but was marginal in low light conditions. The Kowa is head and shoulders above the Nikon in clarity, resolution and viewing birds at a distance in low-light conditions. It is easy to focus.

This is the finest piece of optical equipment I have ever looked through. I purchased the 883 with both the 25x LER and 20-60x eyepieces. Eagle Optics had everything in stock and shipped it out within 24 hours via FedEx overnight service, for no additional charge I might add.
