NIKON EDIIIS/EDIIIA
Nikon have regained their premier position by waterproofing their highly regarded 60mm Fieldscope range so making it fully competitive with other products. Now available in straight or angled body versions, the optical performance is superb, when using either the fixed 24x or 30x wideangle eyepieces or the 20-60x zoom. Perhaps as bright as many 80mm telescopes this remains a benchmark instrument for the serious birder and naturalist. New 20-60x zoom now has screw-up/down eyecups.

NIKON ED82
In the ED78 Nikon produced a scope with great resolution and light gathering for a compact 78mm scope but it had two problems, it wasn't waterproof and the zoom eyepiece suffered from colour aberration. The new ED82 has a fully waterproof body and a new zoom eyepiece that lacks any colour fringing. Combine this with phenomenal resolution and sensible pricing and you have a scope that is surely a contender for the crown of best large format scope.

It is the shortest of its rivals and therefore the most compact and has a close focus of 16 feet, which is similar to both the Zeiss and the Swarovski. It's reassuring build quality does increase the weight a little and while on paper it is 5.2 oz heavier than the Zeiss and just over 10oz heavier than the Swarovski, in the hand it simply doesn't feel that much heavier.

A comparison of fields of view on low magnifications using the zoom eyepiece is difficult as the Nikon's lowest magnification is 25x, compared to 20x on the Zeiss and Swarovski, so it does look smaller. The clarity of image was maintained right up to 75x magnification, which may prove useful for extreme distance viewing where large magnifications are required. However at these magnifications a steady tripod is required and in this test the new Delta Super Carbon Fibre was used.

For anyone changing over their scope and looking at the top end of the market this scope is a MUST for comparison. At the top end of the market the Zeiss, Swarovski and Nikon are all excellent, but with the price of the Nikon well below the competition this new scope represents perhaps the best value for money.

OPTICRON ES80SD
The 2007 Series ES Fieldscopes build on the success of previous models delivering best-in-class optical performance

The ES 80 GA SD is a fully multi-coated BK 7 prism scope which performs well in varying light conditions and shows a welcome lack of colour distortion. For those buying on a budget the combination of this body and an HR 27x wide angle eyepiece, will find nothing currently on the market to compete. A bright and sharp image is combined with accurate focussing. For under £400 this is an amazing package and is fully compatible for use with digital cameras and camcorders.

OPTICRON ES80 GAED
The ES 80 GA ED is a step up from the standard and uses an ED objective. This extra low dispersion glass element within the objective lens system virtually eliminates the distorting effects of chromatic aberration at magnifications over 35x . The HDF 32x eyepiece offers a wide field of view at the most commonly used magnification. For those wishing the flexibility of a zoom the HDF 20-60x works like a dream on this scope, a wide field of view, excellent resolution and a lack of chromatic aberration make this a definite 'best buy' at around £600.

OPTICRON GS665

In keeping with the Opticron tradition in fieldscope innovation the GS series takes the two size model range a stage further by increasing the 65mm model to 66.5mm objective lens and the 80mm to an 81.5mm objective lens – without any noticeable gain in weight.

For optimum size and weight to performance ratios, the GS 665 models warrant serious consideration for users wanting either zoom or fixed magnification eyepiece options. GS 815 models are the preferred choice for those wishing to maximise light transmission at over 35x magnification.

GS fieldscopes are protected by ‘full body’ natural rubber armour with textured finish to the top half of the main body prism housing. The centrally positioned focussing wheel allows easy access for both right and left handed users and is also rubber covered – delivering a positive feel with or without gloves.

The introduction of an ED version of the GS665 has provided a lightweight scope to rival that of the now discontinued Kowa 613. However the GS is fully waterproof and takes a wide variety of eyepieces including the new S
