[QUOTE="ObiWanKannoli, post: 2820122, member: 116692"] "Short" needs to be better defined, but generally speaking the more compact you make an optic and or increase the zoom ratio, the more challenging it is to maintain a level of quality in various optical traits such as eye box, eye relief, field of view, depth of field, parallax, and usable magnification range. There is no question trade offs to making an optic shorter, there is a reason NASA telescopes are the size of a building. [/QUOTE]
