[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 299455, member: 4191"] Here's how my neighbor and I rated my [B]LPS[/B] to other scopes I owned in early 2007, based on side by side comparisons in failing evening light. With respect to [U][B]light transmission[/B][/U]: 1st - Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14x44mm - Brightest, no doubt about it. 2nd - Leupold [B]LPS[/B] 2.5-10x45mm 3rd - Leupold VX3 2.5-8x32mm - Similar to IOR. 4th - IOR 3-18x42mm - Dimmest (Similar to the Leupold VX3). With respect to [U][B]resolution[/B][/U], we both rated these four scopes as follows: 1st - IOR 3-18x42mm - Notably the best 2nd - Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14x44mm - Pretty good - similar to Leupold LPS 3rd - Leupold [B]LPS[/B] 2.5-10x45mm 4th - Leupold VX3 2.5-8x36mm Not pick'en a fight over the LPS. Just copied and pasted the above finding from an old post, as I used to own one. I sold mine as the Zeiss Conquest cost less and performed better for me. My current scope preference is Sightron SIII 6-24x50mm. It performs better than any of the above 4 scopes in light transmission, and is the equal of the IOR in resolution. I have declared any scopes heavier than 29 oz off limits for the time being. My hunting is almost exclusively backpack hunting. My IORs weigh 29 oz and they're heavier than I care to pack around. One of my IORs will be replaced with another Sightron SIII soon. SIIIs weigh in at 21.9 oz. [/QUOTE]
