Wouldn't Canon be light gray? It could be from Zeiss or Swarovski, etc. for all that it matters. A scope does not have the degree of incompatible dedication found in an SLR system.
EDG VR Fieldscopes are designed to withstand the harshest elements. The body and eyepieces are sealed for superior waterproofing performance and filled with nitrogen gas to prevent fogging and condensation due to extreme temperature change.

The problem with scopes though, is that the max apertures are often f/8 to f/11. So, manual focusing with it is a pain. I rented a Pentax scope and adapter last year to see if digiscoping is for me, but .. it wasn't. The VF got too dark and ... well .. long story short, it's not a 500mm f/4 or 600mm f/4.
standard for top of the line spotting scopes from all manufacturers.

image quality isn't the best either even for a top of the line scope. it's definitely not a 600/4. with a body like the D300s on a 600/4, can crop to the same FOV as my Pentax PF-100 scope with about the same quality. however for actual looking through, i have an eyepiece for 180x magnification which is why i have one.
