Zeiss Diascope 65 T* FL 65mm versus Kowa TSN-664

Postby Craig on Sat Aug 15, 2009 6:03 pm

Hi Joanie, after many months of research I recently placed an order for the Kowa TSN-664 kit with you but unfortunately it is out of stock for 3-4 weeks. I appreciate the Zeiss Diascope 65 is a big step up in price but am interested in how you would generally compare these scopes please. What advantages would the Zeiss offer over the Kowa please. regards
Craig

Hi Joanie, I just tried the search feature and you have answered a very simliar question at

about3-13718.html?hilit=diascope

This has re-affirmed my confidence in my TSN-664 order. It's going to be a long month. :D

regards

I continue to hear great things about the kowa 664. i like the fact the zoom is usable at 60x, unlike the 45x the zeiss has.

Hi

I agree. The Kowa zoom is a better eyepiece. It is sharper at the edge and eye relief is more consistent throughout the zoom range.
