Konus has arrived in the world of spotting scopes with the Konuspot-80. It delivers a combination of price, aperture, angled viewing and magnification range thats simply unparalleled by other manufacturers. A full 80mm aperture will grant effective illumination in scenarios too dim for even the best of 60-65mm scopes to compete, and many people find the 45° angled viewing experience more comfortable for extended periods(particularly with birding). Sharing a scope experience simultaneously between those of varying heights is easier with an angled scope as well, as the scope is set for the shorter observer and the taller one merely stoops over the scope just a bit more.
