[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1754448, member: 92702"] Depends so much on what the magnification is on the high end. As magnification increases the lenses need to be larger for equal performance. There are some specialty scopes made for extreme low light that don't follow this, and some cheap scopes that don't either, but for the most part it is true. If the glass is decent you don't gain much putting a 50mm objective on a 9x scope. You do on an 18x. 25x and most makers go to a 56. [/QUOTE]
