[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1353419, member: 70559"] I guess not all scopes and binoculars are created equal. I bought some Minox 13X[B]56[/B] binoculars and really liked them. I decided to compare them with my Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X[B]50[/B] set on 13X. To my astonishment the single 50mm objective lasted two minutes longer than the TWO 56mm objectives of the binos. There are a lot of opinions I used to hold that have been destroyed by my comparing. By far the absolute best scope I have compared in low light was the Swarovski z8i 2.3-18X[B]56[/B]. It beat the Swarovski z5 5-25X52, Leupold VX-5 4-24X52, and the Bushsnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50 by [B]twenty[/B] minutes with all set on 15X[B]![/B] It also smoked my Minox 15X[B]58[/B] binoculars by eleven minutes. Again we have a single 56mm objective beating two 58mm objectives[B]![/B] The owner of the z8i and I agreed when the antlers disappeared. By the way the three lesser scopes beat the Swarovski z6 5-30X50 by eleven minutes. The owner said, "I always knew that one wasn't very good." My question is, why does one keep something he doesn't think is what he paid for? [/QUOTE]
