[QUOTE="gerpwaller, post: 2965418, member: 103698"] At 1x it is definitely a zoom issue. When I look the through the scope with both eyes open and focus on an object the view through the scope shows the object to be smaller than with the naked eye. Without calibrated measurements it appears to be roughly 3/4 the size. At the top end of the zoom range it's more difficult to say how much the size is different but comparing to 3 different scopes the Meopta appears to be a little smaller than that others at 5x. It may not be quite 4.5x but 0.75-4.5 translates to a 6x zoom range which makes sense for an Optika 6. I have contacted the Canadian inporter about 2 weeks ago and still haven't heard a response from Meopta on this issue. This leads me to belive that all Optika 6 1-6 SFP scopes have this issue and I'm just going to go away after time or that their customer service is very poor. Since the lenses would be ground the same for all of these optics I have a hard time believing that my issue is a one off. For a 3-18 or 2-12 optic being a little under the listed zoom range wouldn't be that big of a deal but for an advertised 1-6 to be closer to 0.75-4.5 I find unacceptable. if it wzas 1-5 or 1.25-7.5 it wouldn't matter as much but to have the bottom end of the zoom range actualy shrink the image is not cool.
