[QUOTE="Ron Ankeny, post: 319244, member: 14804"] I used a pair of Zeiss rangefinding binos for a couple of weeks. Of all the rangefinders I have used (Leica 1200, Swaro, and Geovids) the laser in the Zeiss puts everyone of them to shame. Even in extremely bright light with sand backgrounds (desert terrain) the Zeiss would quickly range to the claimed 1300 yards and more. I never did get to a mile, but I got a lot of readings over 1700 on highly reflective targets. The glass is simply incredible. Unfortunately, I had a great deal of difficulty reading the display. The binos are subject to panoramic tilt and the prisms in my eye glasses (to relieve eye strain from slight double vision) made the numbers on the display hard to make out under some conditions. I exchanged the Zeiss for Geovids. To be honest, the Geovids only range (under most conditions) about 70 per cent as far as the Zeiss, but I can easily read the display. In retrospect, I kind of wish I would have kept the Zeiss binos and learned to work around the problems. [/QUOTE]
