[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 18843, member: 1622"] I broadly agree with Pete (although Pete, I think you may need to try decaf! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] ). I also think it was Pete who pointed out some time ago that the Leupold 'good eye relief' actually translates into low FOV - certainly an effect I noted when I, briefly, owned a Leupold 8.5-25. Another related point is illustrated by the New Zeiss Victory Binos....widely rumoured to be less good than the old Zeiss. The supposed reson for this is that the lenses are now being manufactured (in the US?) to meet the US restrictions on max glass lead content. Good glass needs lead. This may have a read across to why European manufactured European brands (that aren't being manufactured to meet this restriction) appear brighter. [/QUOTE]
