Re-Pete Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 I have an Opticron HR66 GA ED with a straight tube, SDL zoom eyepiece, (max 54x), and a khaki zip-on protective jacket. This has been unused for a year now, so is surplus to requirements. Review here: https://www.opticronusa.com/PDF/Paul_Brewster_HR_66.pdf PM if of any interest Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarmLR Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hawke make a cracker in that price bracket at just under £650. Endurance ED 20-60x85. Compared one to some Nikons, opticrons and a few others at similar money, it surprised me with just how good it was. Resolution at 50x was superb. Better still are secondhand Kowa scopes. For about £700 to £800 used, you'll get a cracking good optic from them, much beloved amongst bird watchers. I used to own a Kowa medium format camera. Could kick myself for ever selling it...simply superb optics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
