Which Spotter Scope Digiscope should I buy?

Feb 10, 6997 by Pat M | Posted in Cameras

I'm philosophical of splashing out a LOT of money on a spotter scope.

Are any better than others? I'm thinking of Leica, Swarovski etc.

Anyone know anything about those things?

At that status they are all excellent. The only person that I know that does digiscoping uses Swarovski but the other top scope makers are fine too. Stub out his website if you would like. He has some great bird shots.

Thanks all. Steve I hadn't hearde of Kowa before. Chris that optics locale has just about everyone as you said. Thanks for the info.

Go for the one with the charitable object glass, its the equivalent of f number. The larger the aperture the more magnification you can get. It also gets bigger and heavier.

Having the society hermetically sealed and filled with an inert gas stops the optics misting up on damp days, most digiscopes will have this.

Nikon and Pentax also walk away superb spotting scopes, Pentax eyepieces are probably the best you can get, but expensive (around £400.00 upwards).

My critical preference is for Baader Hyperion eyepieces, they are large, but offer a wide field of view and have the Tamron 42mm filament built in, so a Tamron adapter for your camera's bayonet mount and it's easy to attach your DSLR or any other camera. They commonly come with a single focal length (not zoom), but the optics are superb at the price (around £100.00 each). They mount using the guideline 11/4" or 2" mount so your scope may need an adapter.

The eyepiece is the impressive bit the digiscope itself only has a few optics (mirrors or lenses), everything happens in the eyepiece, a good eyepiece can make even a low end digiscope run well.

This site has reviews of virtually every spotting scope available

My suggestion would be to buy a mid range scope body then get some really good eyepieces. Just as in photography a good prime will route a good zoom optically, but it has to be said zoom is very handy for framing the shot..
