Nikon ProStaff 5 20-60x82 Spotting Scope (Angled Viewing)
Key Features
  • 20-60x Zoom Eyepiece
  • AAoV of 39.9°
  • BAK4 Fully Multi-Coated Lenses
  • Built-In Sliding Sunshade
The ProStaff 5 20-60x82 Spotting Scope from Nikon delivers a capacious magnification spread with a very high zoom power of 20-60x. Initial scanning is already magnified to 20x but then zooming in for fine detail continues to an intense 60x for observing the intricacies of your chosen subject. That's on the ocular side. On the objective side is an immense 82mm of light-gathering ability that puts observation into the low-light situations of dawn, dusk, and overcast days, when nocturnal creatures are more apt to start showing themselves. The scope is made for outdoor conditions. Waterproof to 3.3 feet for up to 10 minutes, it is fully O-ring sealed and nitrogen filled to ensure all-weather performance. BAK4 multi-coated optics assure optimal high-contrast views with superb brightness and color fidelity. The angled eyepiece allows longer stress free viewing sessions with a more comfortable view of targets near the zenith. There is a built-in sliding sunshade for protection from excessive glare or raindrops on the objective.

question

What adapter would I need to mount this to a Canon EOS 70D?
Asked by: Edwin D.
You will need an adapter for your scope and a T ring for your camera. Remove the eyepiece from the scope and replace it with the adapter. Then remove the lens from your camera and replace it with the T ring. Then Screw the T ring onto the adapter of the scope and start shooting. These are the B&H part numbers you will need. For your scope B&H# CETA1.25. For your camera you will need a T mount B&H # KOTMCAF.
