Considering this lens is now discontinued my opinion may have limited value. I have only recently obtained it and a 88mm Prominar. The combination is impressive owing in no small part, I'm sure to the quality of the Prominar. Nevertheless, if your requirements can be met with this magnification range I strongly suggest you try to snap up remaining stock. The performance is outstanding even at extended ranges. The field of view, detail and color rendition are phenomenal for the price. Kowa thinks the new 25-60 Prominar wide/zoom will eclipse it and it may be worth twice the price for the magnification advantage, if you require it. I plan to acquire the new lens but I will keep this one too.
Would recommend: Yes

Kowa TE-17W spotting scope eyepiece
I've used my TE-17W wide angle 30x eyepiece on my Kowa TSN-883 scope since April 2010 for birding mostly looking at waders at +1000yards from dawn to dusk. The performance in bright light is incredible with bill shape and colour visible at + 1000yards. Even at dusk resolution remains excellent. I only wish magnification was greater and plan to buy the 20-60x TE-10z for this purpose.
Pros: wide field of view & crystal clear image
Cons: insufficient magnification for long distance viewing at +1000 yards
