Kowa TSN-66S Prominar Straight Spotting Scope Body

The Kowa TSN-66S Prominar is the straight version of Kowa's compact 66mm fluorite scope. This listing is the body only, at 1155g, ready for the eyepiece of your choice.

66mm pure fluorite crystal

The TSN-66 uses the same pure fluorite crystal technology as the 88mm and 99mm Prominar scopes, in a much smaller body. The image is sharp and colour fringing is very low.

Easy to carry

The magnesium alloy body is waterproof and nitrogen filled, with dual focusing wheels, a pull-out hood with an aiming sight, and a tripod foot with a rotating collar. It accepts the same eyepieces and digiscoping adapters as the larger Prominar scopes.

Why choose the straight version?

A straight scope points where you look, so it is quicker to find a bird, easier to use from a car window or a hide, and simpler for beginners.

Body only: choosing an eyepiece

This listing does not include an eyepiece. The TE-11WZ II wide zoom gives 25-60x on the TSN-66S, and the TE-80XW is a fixed extreme wide-angle eyepiece. If you would rather buy everything together, the TSN-66S with TE-11WZ II zoom is the same scope with the zoom eyepiece included.

The TSN-66S in numbers

The TSN-66S has a 66mm objective, a close focus of 3.5m and a 72mm filter thread. The body weighs 1155g and is 295mm long.

Which Kowa scope should you choose?

If this isn't quite right, the TSN-66A is the angled version; the TSN-66S with TE-11WZ II zoom is the same scope with the zoom eyepiece included; the TSN-88 kit gives a bigger 88mm objective for more light.
