There has been some discussion concerning optics for birding and I =
thought that I would give you some follow-up on my purchase of the =
Pentax 80mmED scope mentioned in the website: www.betterviewdesired.com: =
I set the scope up on "egg island" at the Farmington Bay WMA and could =
see avocets clearly at one-third mile away when I could not tell that =
there were any birds there by my naked eye...this equipment was truly =
incredible...as was the service received by Owen Hogle at the Wild Bird =
Center where I purchased the scope at competitive prices.  If you are =
making a new purchase I can recommend this scope without any =
reservations. The website gives information as to why the large eyepiece =
has distinct advantages.  Alan S. Condie=20
