[QUOTE="B23, post: 320535, member: 13222"] I've had a few days, in a variety of different light conditions, to use my new HD 80 Swaro spotter w/25-50 wide angle eye piece now. As I've stated before I have a Nikon non ED Fieldscope 20-45 65mm to compare with and make side by side comparisons. The Swaro is minimally better and I mean minimally. Clearity is almost on par with my Nikon. Under low light conditions the Swaro is better but it isn't alot better by any means but it is better. I would certainly hope that a HD 80mm $3000+ spotter would be better in low light than a $800 65mm non HD would be though. From the beginning of this purchase I wasn't expecting a HUGE difference from my Nikon but I did expect to see some noticable difference. I let the salesman talk me into a variable eye piece when I upgraded to the HD. I'm going to talk to them Monday about returning this eye piece and go with a straight power. Probably the 30x as I rarely if ever use more than that anyway. [/QUOTE]
