Danger_Close Report post Posted May 25, 2021 I'm in the process of setting up some TSN-664M Dual Kowa spotters. I've gotten the word that the 30x Wide is the way to go regarding eyepieces. Has anyone ever tried the 1.6 magnifiers(would take the 30 to 48x zoom)? Compared to the 20-60 eyepieces? Cost is irrelevant. I would assume the magnifiers weigh a bit less than the 20-60. Any experiences or suggestions? I ask because the BTX magnifier dims the image and reduces clarity a bit. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BTax Report post Posted May 26, 2021 Hey Danger, glad to see someone else is in the same shoes as I am, I’ve only read that the magnifiers degrade the view. I’ll be watching this thread! What sort of mounting bracket did you use Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTax Report post Posted May 26, 2021 Gotcha, I’ve got 3 sources that I’m waiting on responses from, when I learn something I’ll let you know. Luckily there’s been a few guys sharing a bit of info with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danger_Close Report post Posted June 1, 2021 I wish I had one of each to field test... maybe I'll but one of each and return the one I don't like and post a review. I feel like the Magnifiers might be the better option, as they would take the 30x to 48x, and I've read that the 20x-60x zoom eyepiece only really works out to about 45-50x anyhow.

BTax Report post Posted June 2, 2021 I was told those extenders are not very clear and a lil dark too so I thought about getting just one of the 20-60 eye pieces to put on one 1/2 so I’d still have a spotter to zoom in …. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CatfishKev Report post Posted June 2, 2021 Id definitely go with the 30x wide angle. Trying to glass with 2 of 20-60s will be like trying to line up 2 straws to look through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adamsadapters Report post Posted June 13, 2021 I’m making brackets for both the Kowa 664 and the Swaro 65MM right now. Will have inventory early July. You can see more pics on my Instagram and DM me if interested. @adamsadapters 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
