KOWA TSN-82SV, TE-9Z spotting scope & TSN-PA8 digiscope for your adventures

I bought the KOWA TSN-82SV scope, the TE-9Z (20-60x) zoom eyepiece to use at the shooting range. This saves me a lot of effort walking to-and-back between shooting-bench & the targets when I have to check the precision & accuracy of my shots - especially so when shooting at ranges above 100 metres.
I also bought the KOWA TSN-PA8 digiscope photo adapter, & TSN-CM2-CE CANON EF lens-mount adapter. This adapter enables me to mount my CANON EOS 5DIII camera to the TE-9Z eyepiece, & take photographs.
The KOWA products are made in Japan, & KOWA manufactures a wide range of high quality sport optics equipment.
In this video, I give a detailed review of the product features, & include high resolution photographs of the products, and also comparison photographs of 2 objects taken through the spotting-scope & CANON 5DIII camera.
The 2 comparison objects are:
a) high-voltage electrical power transmission tower (distance 1,000 metres away) photographed at 20x & 60x Zoom.
a) light-fitting on brick wall (distance 40 metres away) photographed at 20x & 60x Zoom.
The spotting-scope with 20-60x Zoom eyepiece can be a useful equipment for photographic adventurers who like to take pictures of animals, birds, & any other objects of interest; or for spotting targets at a shooting range.
I am pleased with this spotting scope & accessories.

I liked the video, do you have pictures of the rifle targets at 100 and 300 meters/yards? Can you clearly see the shots with a dark background?

[@DIYhabitat]

thanks for your feedback. I have to dig up the old paper targets to check.

[@juri_mjatlin]

Hi! Thank you for demonstration. Have a question. Is eyerelief changeble with zooming or stays the same?

[@DIYhabitat]

rather than anecdotal answers, best to reference the Optical Triangle equations.

My 80mm Kowa RSN-series scope, costing over £1500 over twenty years ago, has now become sticky wherever the green finish has been put, and also the protective black ring around the front of the body. I am less than happy with this, as you can imagine, and will certainly NOT be buying any Kowa products in future.

[@DIYhabitat]

sad to learn condition of the paint, & black ring. Would be interesting for you to write to KOWA, with fotos of the deteriorated parts, to ask them why it happened; if there is a fix; & if this can also happen to present day models.

@@DIYhabitat I ended up sending back to Kowa UK, aka Pyser SG Ltd. They wrapped in in plastic food saran wrap and sent it back to me. That's not really the answer to a known fault on a high-priced optical product.

[@DIYhabitat]

yes, not good.
