(More customer reviews)My friend and I are in a bird research program. We find, map, and study birds of prey. I recently bought a Nikon Prostaff 20-60 power spotting scope. On one of our outings we decided to compare my scope, the Nikon with his a Swarovski 20-60 power. We set them up side by side looking at the same objects. After looking a each object he said to me "your scope is brighter, clearer, and has more contrast than mine." I had to agree. The only thing the Swarovski was better at, no color fringing. The Nikon had a small outline of red when set at 30 or more power. The cost of the Nikon about $600, the Swarovski over $1700. I hope this review helps someone trying to make a choice in the complex world of buying a good scope. Oh, and by the way, the tripod sold with the Nikon scope is terrible. Invest in a good set of legs, you'll be glad you did.
