Default Hello and Help, need spotting scope purchase advice!
Hi

Very new to bird watching and photography. I have a Nikon D50 and would like to purchase a spotting scope to fit it. Any thoughts, help would be gratefully accepted.

Hi richbriggs28.

I can't help on this one, but thought I'd take this opportunity to welcome you to the forum.

Will leave the advice on scopes to one of our members who know what they are talking about.

Hi richbriggs28. Welcome . I also have a Nikon D50 but I can't help with the spotting scope either. I'm sure there is some one who will be able to help
