Try the best spotting scopes available

With whale watching season underway and winter scenery on offer, pop into to see BINTEL if you’re seeking out the best possible spotting scope to take full advantage of your views and travels.

Our retail premises in Glebe, on the edge of the Sydney is the only place in Australia where you can try and compare for yourself from a wide of the best spotting scopes available.

Zeiss Harpia 95 Angled 23-70x with Eye piece

This is a large, 95mm spotting scope with renowned ZEISS optics with FL and other advanced glass components. It’s also weatherproof and well suited to less than ideal conditions.

Swarovski ATX 30-70×95 Spotting Scope

Swarovski Optik is famous for producing high end binoculars and spotting scopes to suit even the most demanding requirements of bird watchers, wildlife observers and nature lovers. At BINTEL, we’ve been Swarovski dealers for several decades and have numerous customers who have used their beloved “Swaros” for 10, 20 or more years.

The Swarovski ATX spotting scope range is module, meaning you can swap out eyepiece and main optics modules as well as adding DSLR camera adaptors and more.

Kowa 55 mm Angled spotter with eyepiece 15-45x zoom

Stepping down a little in size but not in quality is the Kowa TSN-553. This is a small spotting scope, with a 55mm diameter main lens. It means it doesn’t have quite the reach into the distance of the two ZEISS and Swarovski larger spotting scopes mentioned above. It does however feature fluorite crystal main lens that delivers stunningly crisp and clear views.  It also has a beautiful “made in Japan” quality throughout.

The Kowa TSN-533 also  far lighter and might be a good option if you’re after a spotting scope that can more easily moved around or to take travelling with you.

Which one is right for me?

We often have customers  tell us their spent hours researching various products on the web, watching YouTube reviews and more, yet end up purchasing  different binoculars or spotting scopes than what they originally decided on once they try in person and talk to one our friendly optical experts in person.

At this level of quality optics,  you’re going to experience years if not decades of some of the best quality viewing available.  If you have great views other at home or when during your travels, have a chat with us to help make the most of them!

Cheers,

PS: For an excellent value but high quality spotting scope, we suggest you also have a look through the Pentax Spotting Scope PF-80 EDA .

This features “ED” glass for sharp images and we also have some options for eyepieces to deliver a range of magnifications.
