IS 60 WP Fieldscope
An excellent all-rounder delivering good resolution and depth of field, the IS 60 WP is easy to use and transport either on a lightweight tripod or bipod. Matched to one of the three dedicated IS long eyerelief eyepieces, (40916S 25xWA, 40918S 18-54x and 40919S IS Pro 15-45x), the model is an excellent choice for the first-time birdwatcher moving up from 'binocular-only' bird watching as well as the shooter or archer looking for accuracy at distances around 100m.

IS 60 ED WP Fieldscope
The IS 60 ED WP offers the opportunity to upgrade to significantly brighter and sharper images while retaining the core features of the IS 60 WP. Featuring a heavily modified optical system with new components and a more rigorous QC system, this mini-60mm ED fieldscope is optically matched to the 40933S HR2 16-48x zoom eyepiece for premium performance* in a very portable package.

EYEPIECES
A wide range of eyepieces are available for use with IS WP Fieldscopes. Choosing the best eyepiece is often confusing but making the right choice will depend on price and application. It is important to remember that the eyepiece is an integral part of the whole set-up and opting for a lower quality lens will make a difference to the overall image quality derived from the fieldscope.

IS EYEPIECES CLICK FOR IMAGES
Dedicated long eyerelief eyepieces and best overall choice as a first eyepiece. If you want a zoom eyepiece and getting the 'highest' top end magnification is not essential, choose 40919S over 40918S as resolution, contrast and field of view are all superior. Eyepieces screw directly onto telescope bodies. Eyepieces in table marked * have a twist-type eyecup.
