[QUOTE="wwbrown, post: 1849094, member: 31392"] I will have to agree to disagree with you that is does not make a difference, I used to work in the Optics field when workin for Lockheed. I have spent lots of time at the range with some of the best optics available to civilians and military customers. When you ate at the edge of visibility due to low light evry lost photon has impact and taking enough of them to create an image will have an effect at some point in the last minutes of legal shooting time in the woods or dark swamp. It is especially true for me as all I hunt now is black bear, black reticle on a black target in the last minutes of the legal shooting hours in dense woods, every photon makes a difference. To test take a high end scope say a S&B PM II and a decent Leupold out to the range and set up an USAF-1951 Resolution Test Standard target and see how your performance on that target degrades as the light diminishes. The S&B PM II has outstanding optical transmission and the Leupolds at the high end are pretty good but not as good as the S&B, probably talking a few percent. You will be able to resolve the AF test target better with the S&B due to its better optical transmission. How does this performance impact the hunter, a deer hunter will be able to able to size the rack and the bear hunter will be able to make better shot placement. I have a hunch that you and I still disagree and that is fine, but I will no longer argue as it is probably a waste of time. Have a good day, wade [/QUOTE]
