[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 492984, member: 25383"] unless your using the scope with a camera, the flourite lense is not really needed. I've used both, and there's not as much difference between them as you'd think. SWFA is the place for KOWA's. I did tests for around a month before buying the KOWA. My test were off a short tripod (very stiff one) sitting on a blacktop parking lot at 12 noon in the red hot sun of summer. The best scope I've ever seen was a Swarovski. Lieca might be number two and may a Nikon close. The Kowa was right in there with the Nikon and the Lieca, but maybe the Lieca was slightly brighter. My target was about 500 yards out, and with these scopes I could just barely make out the slots in the screw heads holding it in place. Interestingly I did notice a slight bit of glare in the Lieca, but no mirage. The Kowa was about $500 less than the others, and built like a tank. gary [/QUOTE]
