Okay, so the model before the prominar fluorite glass. Still a nice optic.
I ask about the eye pc because the previous 77 model I had, previous to the fluorite glass didn't have that weird protrusion on the eye pc. https://kowaoptics.com/pages/tsn-88-prominar

A little easier using from the bench. - dan
No, I used my Hometrust US Visa to order a rifle scope, spotting scope and a tripod without issue. I gave them a call beforehand. My last order was a couple of years ago.
I’ve e purchased a range finder and binos from them 10-15 years ago without issues. A few years ago I tried to buy a camera from them and was told the couldn’t ship to Canada (which was weird). Last September I tried buying a tripod and was having issues online so I called them. Now that I’m m thinking about it, I think my issue was that the shipping cost was high and I wanted them to ship it to my shipping address across the border. They couldn’t ship to a US address and charge on a Canadien card. Their suggestion was that I get an American CC. You might be right if the shipping address matches the CC.
I think you're right, I shipped my spotting scope and tripod directly to Canada and the scope was imported by Prophet River.
No problem. The price was $1,420.00 USD, then they nailed me with 70% currency exchange, whch came to $2,082.59. With the excise tax of $109.32, the total amount arrived at: $2,191.91. I'm most content with the price and the superb optics. A person cannot come close to this price with todays Kowa and Swarovski spotting scopes.

I've had exceptional success in dealing with Cameraland. Definitely a stand up bunch.
Did you buy it new or used. I might have a hard time getting warranty if it's used. Because it does not have a transferable warranty. Also It says that if you need warranty, if you bought it new, you will have to send it back to japan for warranty.
All depends on your use case, and personal preference plays a big part too.
I like angled versions, because I am a hunter and the angled versions tend to be better for looking uphill at stuff, as well as the fact that I can use a more compact/lighter tripod without sacrificing stability because my head sits above rather than behind the optic.
I'm not to concerned about the warranty, they are awesome products. It's is used, however it's like new, not one blemish or defect. For some reason, if there is a problem down the road, I'll ship it back and have it repaired.
