[QUOTE="hybridfiat, post: 950903, member: 72793"] Ive got 2 Zeiss Jena ZF 6x42 and 1 NOS ZF 6x32. They date from the 1980s but their clarity is second to none and the reticle is a close to perfect for medium to close hunting (No 1 with a sharp point on the centre post). None of them cost more than $150. The lack of windage adjustment is annoying but is achieved by using adjustable bases. They dont change their point of impact and my hunting rifles only get fed one load that I know works. So I dont have the adjust them. The Carl Zeiss ZF series from West Germany have windage on the scope but cost more. Whenever I get my hands on a new scope it goes up against the ZFs. Mostly the ZFs are better for clarity, light gathering and shear rock like sturdiness. I have a new Zeiss 6.5-20 and apart from a friends Nighforces and a Leupold VX3 it is the only scope that can hold a candle to the old Jenas. They perform right up to dusk. [/QUOTE]
