Vixen 15X Spotting Scope Eyepiece — Also Fits Screw-In Kowa/Bushnell/Celestron

Description: Very hard-to-find 15X volcano-top Vixen spotting scope eyepiece — **last one in NRO stock** Low-magnification eyepiece for older (pre-Geoma) Vixen spotting scopes (i.e., 50/60S, 45-degree 60S, R-60S); volcano-top design provides maximum eye relief for very comfortable viewing even with eyeglasses. This eyepiece is ideal for digiscoping when used with Vixen Camera Adapter 60S (see separate NRO listing). On a 60-mm scope, the 15X eyepiece provides a telephoto effect of 750 mm with adapter fully retracted or 1,000 mm with adapter slightly extended (the adapter can be extended farther to provide a telephoto effect up to 1500 mm with this 15X eyepiece); when attached to a DSLR, any crop factor will effectively increase the telephoto effect. For example, NRO tested this setup on a Canon EOS Rebel T3; that camera's crop factor of 1.6 resulted in a telephoto effect of 1,200–1,600, which we found to be a good range for even beginners to obtain good digiscoping results.Specifications: magnification, 12X with 50mm Vixen scope, 15X with 60mm Vixen scope Vixen literature cited eye relief for a different version of the 15X eyepiece (one with a foldable rubber eyecup) at 17mm, but in NRO testing we found that the volcano-top design, with the optical glass spanning almost the entire eyepiece diameter, provides even better eye relief — like looking into a pool of light Also fits many older Vixen-made Celestron and Bushnell Spacemaster scopes, as well as older Kowa scopes (eg, TS-1, TS-2, others) with same M28 x 0.75 thread (see example in photos)Listing is for eyepiece only; sorry, no caps or box **See separate NRO listing for Vixen Camera Adapter S for general tips on digiscoping with a DSLR** Thanks for visiting Nippon Rare Optics!Premium optics sourced from Japan ▪ Fast, free shipping from U.S.-based seller
