Angled vs. straight spotting scope?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a straight spotting scope vs. an angled spotting scope with a camera such as a Dlux3? Which eyepieces are the best for the spotting scope to use for viewing eagles and deer?

Re: Angled vs. straight spotting scope?
...i would suggest getting the angled scope...it is easier to use your d-lux 3 with the angled mount...otherwise you need to extend the tripod to chest-level (which reduces stability)...
...same recommendation for nature observation...otherwise you need to bring the scope to eye-level...i have had good results with the 20-60x...you may wish to get the apo version of the 62 or 77... |

Re: Angled vs. straight spotting scope?
A straight system is usually used for direct optical viewing.
An angled system is usually used by target rifle shooters so after firing all you have to do is turn your head 45 degrees to view the result downrange.-Dick |

Re: Angled vs. straight spotting scope?
Definitely angled. These things are tiring to use unless tripod mounted - the very high magnification at 60 makes for difficult to control shake - so an angled finder is best.
