[QUOTE="alcesgigas, post: 592886, member: 34925"] This may be applicable to the foregoing--or not--but I think it should be said. If your scope isn't adjusted (diopter) to your eyes--like the binocular, individual OR center focus--it's never going to be as clear as its capabilities. Which leads to my point: One can not judge the clarity (focus) of a scope (s) by a casual look-through. To compare one scope to another (or several) all entrants must be adjusted to the judge's eyes. That criteria can be near impossible for most. I live "off the grid" as they say; everything comes in by air. It's mail-order. I've learned to inspect what I expect after availing myself the experience of others (not opinion based solely on hearsay) and, in the case of optics I shoot for the best after a lot of research. And even then I've had to return optics to try another. Frustrating is an understatement. And to top it all off the subject of this comment is but one of several criteria that's imperative to address when purchasing optics. There's a person on this thread who hits the nail on the head: He wants someone to photo through-the-lens scope shots and preferably [I]comparisons of the owners own scopes[/I]. Another on this thread hits the same nail in another way: He wants evaluations from those [I]experienced with the subject/object [/I]of the thread. I consider these avenues most valuable, particularly in optics. [/QUOTE]
