[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1666430, member: 2736"] I am 78 And have the same issues in some cases.(No cataracts) I find that most of my hunting is in poor light and therefore need many the same features. I have several basic needs that work for me that I find that realy helps. 1 = Minimum of 50 mm objective lens. 2 = 30 mm tube.(The 30 mm turrets have a better range of MOA adjustments both vertical and windage. 3 = the 30 mm tubes allow bigger lens and are shorter in overall length. Sharpness and clarity has a lot to do with your eyes, so that has to be determined by you. My eyes like the Leupold lens coating the best. so that is my preference. I have compared the Leupold to every other scope I could get my hands on and the Leupold LPS was the best (But it is no longer manufactured) with the Mark 4 a close second. I compared scopes that cost more than $3500.00 and could not see the difference, so I stayed with the mark 4's I prefer hunting with 3 to 14 power on most of my hunting rifles but have a few 6 to 20's and 8 to 25's for the longest shooting rifles and terrain. On my deer lease I often have to make running shots and to much power will make this very difficult. Hope this helps you J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
