[QUOTE="jebel, post: 2276959, member: 106189"] I like the two options you’re down to of the Swarovski and the Kowa. Can’t go wrong. If you have the time to wait, looking for a used version of one of these could save you a bunch. I agree with the suggestion to be thoughtful about the tripod, which will cost you several hundred dollars, but include weight in your thinking if you’re typically packing this setup. When I bought a high-end spotter I proceeded to buy a high-end tripod with a panning head. Excellent to use, but almost 5 pounds (tripod + head). Now I find myself searching for a stable tripod that might be half that weight. Wish I’d been more discriminating the first time. [/QUOTE]
