[QUOTE="imyourhuckleberry, post: 1406114, member: 18206"] When you get up to the high end stuff at a certain point looking through premium glass is difficult to tell which is sharper. I have the Nikon 25X75X82 fieldscope with ed glass, my brothers each have the high end Kowa, and Swaroski and to my eyes the difference in sharpness, brightness and clarity is not discernible . They both bought theirs with the angle eye pieces and mine is straight. Funny thing is that they both use mine when were hunting and glassing over an area in a ravine or canyon because you can look down without exposing yourself, and when we are shooting long distance I basically use their spotting scope because it is angled and easier to use from a prone or sitting position. Basically glass wise get whatever rings your bell but also consider what accessories the scope has that will afford you the most use out of it. When hiking the mountains I find that my compact Leupold gold 15X30X50 is getting the most use because it is light weight and at great glass for under $500 [/QUOTE]
