What is the best Swarovski Spotting scope to buy, 65mm or 80mm?
A. This does depend on your intended use. For general viewing in good light a 65mm scope is fine, however if you need to use your scope in low light an 80mm will be far better with its larger front objective lens. Another consideration is the weight. The 65mm scopes are much lighter then the 80mm and this would be of importance to the backpacker or high-country guide.
