[QUOTE="kmcdonou, post: 2981292, member: 25150"] I always wondered about this. Let's say we had two scopes of generally the same construction, e.g. the Schmidt and Bender Exos, 3-20x50 and 1-8x24. If you kept both on 3x, thus exceeding the maximum human eye pupil diameter of 7mm, would the brightness be the same between both scopes? If so, a 24mm diameter scope (1-6x24 or 1-8x24) would still be bright in lowlight at 4x or less (to the extent the scope's coatings and construction allowed). If so, the only consideration would be if you are planning to be close enough that 4x will work. Obviously if you had to turn up the magnification to determine details, the larger 50mm diameter scope will allow you to go up to 7-8x before the exit pupil gets less than idea. [/QUOTE]
