I too love my Kowa - TSN823. I have the 20-60x zoom and 28x wide angle
- in practise I always use the zoom although in reality it is rarely
useful over above 30-40x. I wear glasses and it has a fold back rubber
cap which is good - only minor issue is that you can't screw the lens
protector on when the cap is folded down. I have an angled one - I
think opinions differ on which is the best to get.
