I have the site cite if you do not. jck Kari Cohen wrote: >Hello, >I'm looking for advice from anyone who has tried any or all of the >following scopes: > >Nikon 60mm III ED Fieldscope >Nikon 78mm ED Fieldscope >Pentax 80mm ED Fieldscope > >I'm looking to purchase one of these (I work at a store where I can get a >good deal on these two brands), and I am not sure whether the 60mm is >sufficient or if I should pony up for one of the big dogs. > >Thanks, > >Kari Cohen >College Park, MD >kari.cohen@usda.gov > >======================================================================= >To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com >with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey >======================================================================= > ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey =======================================================================
