Nikon is pleased to announce two new eyepieces, the 20x/25x DS and 16-48x/20-60x Zoom DS models, which have been designed to make digiscoping a reality for owners of Nikon’s Spotting Scope RAIII WP series.

The compatibility of the new eyepieces with Nikon’s spotting scope series, the FSB camera bracket series* and the new COOLPIX P5000 10.0 megapixel compact camera, allows digiscoping enthusiasts to capture highly magnified stunning images at a fraction of the cost of a telephoto lens.

The dynamic new eyepieces are suitable for bird watching, nature watching or nature photography.

Features

• Eyepieces compatible for digiscoping
• Multilayered, fully coated lenses for minimal distortion and bright, sharp images
• Long eye-relief of 18mm (20x/25x DS Eyepiece only) for fatigue-free use
• O-ring seals for water-resistant construction
• Bayonet mount for easy, exclusive interface with RAIII series

* FSB Brackets: FSB-1A, FSB-2, FSB-3, FSB-4, FSB-5 & FSB-6
