[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 859581, member: 34084"] Zeiss Dialyt, hmm, let’s see: Aluminum body - yes Long eye relief eyepiece - yes HD glass - no The glass is good for a non-HD scope, but it still has more color fringing than HD optics do. The eyepiece is a bit difficult to use at high magnification, so a longer eye relief would be better. But this is a different type of spotting scope than all the others we discussed. It’s a lightweight field scope and is intended to be used most often hand-held at low magnification, possibly supporting the objective on a monopod, tree limb, fence post, car window, etc. It’s not the type of scope I would choose for glassing large areas for hours at a time. For a more general purpose scope, I would choose the Gold Ring HD, which people often use like a field scope. [/QUOTE]
