[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1211775, member: 70559"] I'm willing to bet you a good chunk of change this statement is not true based on side by side comparisons in good light and low light. I purchased four Swarovski z5 5-25X52 ($1,675) trying to get one better than my Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50 ($685). Four of us looked through them. One guy couldn't see any difference. The other three guys picked the Bushnell 6500. One of the 6500's is better than the z5 in both good light and low light. Two of the z5's were better than one of the 6500's in low light but not in good light. I use a military optics chart for good light and deer antlers for low light. [/QUOTE]
