Similar to cameras, going used and skipping fancy features can get you incredible glass for very low prices. My scope is a V 350 Wilomed which normally goes for around $400 CAD on the used market. I’d happily pay closer to that amount for this scope. When I got it I thought I’d be getting something much worse given the price, but it’s a real lab-capable device. If you got something considerably less powerful I bet you could spend very little and still have a ton of fun. You definitely don’t need something this powerful. I hope you find something awesome!
