[QUOTE="pyroducksx3, post: 738654, member: 20443"] So I went out today and got to compare my scope to a swaro out in the field. First off the side by side testing wasnt really fair. My scope is a brand new ziess 85 T FL with the 20-75X eyepiece and his was an older Swaro 65 non HD. The conditions were overcast, raining and snowing, we were viewing distances from 400-1000 yards. The first thing we both noticed was that the ziess was brighter bujt thats expected since it was an 85 compared to a 65. We both agreed that the image was just a little sharper with the ziess as well. the best way to describe it is that at 974 the rock we were looking at had moss rings. I could see the rings with both scopes but the zeiss the rings were just a little more clear, so there wasnt anything that I couldnt see at the same power with the swaro that I would have been able to catch with the ziess it was just a little better is all. Also I had heard it mentioned while researching the two scopes but hadnt expected to notice it but the swaro has a blueish color saturation while the ziess was more yellow. I found that I prefered the yellowish of the ziess. I wouldnt but either above the other in reguards to more natural color renditions. So to wrap it up I feel there isnt anything profound that the ziess will do over the swaro. I think the swaro would have fullfilled all my needs.
