[QUOTE="Deleted member 103481, post: 1904910"] The question was quite simply how is glass quality judged, not what scope should I buy. I think [USER=112798]@Will16[/USER] s photos and suggestions to speak with koshkin on the hide hit the mark. In judging optical performance for [I]myself[/I], I have to look through it and when I do I know pretty quick, what I look for below: Purple and green fringing are to me the biggest and easiest faults one can find, and they drive me mad. Low light performance is quite simple, look through them all at last shooting light. Resolution can be simple with tripod mounts looking at leaves or birds at distance. This includes center vs edge image quality glare prevention, take a hike and set up on a hill like you’re glassing and face the sun or angled towards it, note how some scopes are easy to Use, some impossible, some get hazy, some have massive flares. If and how much optical performance matters in the field is [B]not the topic at hand[/B] [/QUOTE]
