[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1754963, member: 92702"] This is very true. As I have aged my eyes do not see as well in low light as they used to. I also cannot see as well at night. I have found that I can see better with different coatings than younger folks. I have played with all the high end stuff. I can see noticeably better in low light with a K525i than I can with an ATACR F1. The K252i is also superior to the SB and Zeiss. Sure way to start an argument. But, the coatings Kahles uses works better with my eyes that the others. The next guy to come along will give you an entirely different answer. You can quote all the specs in the book and it just doesn't matter. Different people's eyes react differently to different coatings. That's why when you get into the high end stuff there usually is no agreement as to which is best. Step down a tier and compare the Leupold HD's, Razors, and 6500's, etc, and you will find the same thing. The only way to settle it for yourself is to find some buddies who own the ones you are interested in and compare them side by side in different lighting conditions.If you get the opportunity to do this, most likely one will stand out above the others, and it may not be the one you expected. It wasn't for me anyway. [/QUOTE]
