Great little spotter. Glass is fantastic.
There are no blemishes on the scope itself, or the glass. Straight version. Focus works perfectly as well. Not sure you can find a better sample.

MCII 13-40 eyepiece with Nikon objective and eyepiece caps. Also comes with a zipper/drawstring cover with an added objective lens cover built in.

$450 shipped. I can add more pics later, or text them. Which ever is preferred. Thanks.

Edit: Pics added below!

I have the same ED 50 spotter and find myself packing it more and more for the 20 oz weight and the elk and deer I need to look at closer or phoneskope. I actually sold my Kowa 554 because of this!!!! This will go fast! With a pair of 12x or 15xs, very deadly!!!!!

It really is a great little piece of glass!

In case anyone is on the fence here, this is a VERY good deal. That is arguably the best eyepiece made for this series of scopes and that eyepiece is worth half the asking price. If this were angled I would have bought it already. I had an angled ED50 for a couple years and sold it to buy a 60. Love my 60 but now I miss that ED50. Fantastic little scope. It weighed less than my binoculars and the optics are fantastic.

I agree. I’m kind of surprised it’s still here, FWIW I don’t do straight scopes but I haven’t found this to be as big of an issue as i originally thought it would be!

Straight scopes are great for glassing from the truck. That's why my 60 is a straight scope. But for glassing from the mountainside, you can't beat an angled eyepiece. You can get away with a much shorter and lighter tripod. Angled scopes are also better for groups of people of different heights as each can just lean more or less to look through it and you don't have to change the tripod height as much.

Great deal here though. Can't believe nobody has bought this yet.
