    Damaged diascope 85 worth buying?

    If you're willing to pay the shipping to get your scope to Zeiss to be inspected, the answer is 'maybe'. I shipped them my Green 85mm Zeiss Diascope (circa 2007) to inspect an anomaly on the glass. They received my scope and called me back and shared it was still covered under warranty. Turns...

    For Sale: Zeiss Diascope Zoom Eyepiece

    Hi Folks, I have a 15/20x to 45/60x Zeiss eye piece off and 85mm Zeiss Straight Diascope (It works well. Recently cleaned by Zeiss). 20x is very bright! even 60x hangs in there, thought the depth side to side starts to infringe on the center sweet spot. No dings, dents, brassing or mold. Pull...

    old scope vs new sub $500 scope opinon

    Hi All, I have been using a Bausch & Lomb Elite 80mm spotting scope for 17 years. I swapped out the 20-60x zoom ocular for a 22x LER, which I love. It's rubber armored, water proof and over all, performs great. I hate to say but it rivals and surpasses my old Kowa TSN-2. They're close, but the...

    old scope vs new

    Hi Folks, I have been saving up to get a spotting scope. I've enjoy using a Vanguard Endeavor 65mm HD scope a friend has loaned me. I was about to purchase one (~400) when I was offered a B & L Elite HD 80mm circa 2005 for 1/2 that price. Both feel like great scopes. Both are HD, waterproof...
