[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 703712, member: 10832"] Dan, Coming from a photography background I would argue that your statement is fundamentally impossible. If the erector lenses transmit light, and therefore the sight picture, then by definition they must have an affect on picture quality in some manner. Light transmission by nature is changed every time it goes from one lens to another and even when the light travels through the air in between the lenses it is bent slightly differently each time. The link you gave actually shows a good example of this. As the erector is moved by the turret the angle in which the light and sight picture passes through the erector lens(es) is altered. This alone can and will cause changes to the sight picture in some manner. Like I mentioned much of this can be accounted for in the scope and lens design but it is there and in mid level or lower scopes especially it is noticeable. And the Nikon the OP has would be in that category IMO. [ATTACH]13611.vB[/ATTACH] At the end of the day it isn't the biggest factor that one needs to be worrying about and I think this was appropriately addressed in subsequent posts. Worrying about turret adjustment consistancy and the other issues mentioned are more important, at least for me. Scot E. [/QUOTE]
