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 the perfect 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.

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 quality control procedure, 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

Swan Montage

A wide range of eyepieces are available for use with IS WP fieldscopes and choosing the best eyepiece will depend on price and application. The eyepiece is an integral component in the system and a higher quality eyepiece will deliver a superior viewing experience.

IS Eyepieces CLICK FOR IMAGES
Dedicated long eyerelief eyepieces and best overall choice as a first eyepiece.

Eyepieces screw directly onto telescope bodies. Eyepieces in table marked * have a twist-type eyecup.
