[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1772125, member: 70559"] the champ, I was so happy to see that info on the new z8i I called Swarovski this morning. A customer service representative told me it has the same glass as the z5 line. Then he continued to tell me all Swarovskis use the same glass. I had four z5 5-25X52. Two had glass that was about the same as my Leupold VX-6 4-24X52 and my Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50. Two weren't even close. A buddy brought two of his Swarovskis to check for low light:. A z8i 2.3-18X and a z6 5-30X50. The z6 was like the two z5s I couldn't stand. He sold it the next week. The z8i was absolutely outragious. It lasted twenty minutes longer than the z5, VX-6, and the 6500. The weight on the one you mentioned works but I don't want to gamble I get one of the rejects. If there was a place to compare some before purchasing I would be willing to drive two or three hours to put them side by side with my 6500. If it was as good as my friend's z8i I would bring it home. [/QUOTE]
