[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 561165, member: 25383"] one thing in life that really bugs me is when I spell a person's name incorrectly. That's why I didn't attempt to write his name. Jacob is a sharp cookie and without question the best at writing reviews. The only realy complaint I've had with Jacob is his binocular reviews, and there'snothing wrong with them. They're just a little too technical for my understanding every bit of information he throws at you. I, in my old age have now joined the bi-focal and tri-focal generation! Eye relief is now a super important piece of data for me. Although I'm think laser sugury is in my future. I've never seen the 65mm Swarovski around here, and on paper it looks like 30x will give you a 2.16 light factor on a near perfect day. I use that number because is kind of a number I use all the time anyway. What I would be more interested in, is how the scope performs on a heavy overcast day at 30x. Years back I had the chance to use a 77 mm Kowa scope with the Flourite glass, with several eyepieces in the dead of winter. Lots of snow and very heavy overcast. I found the scope to be fair at best with anything above 40X. Yet by dropping down to about 30x; it was like going to a completely different scope! Now I gotta agree with you in the idea that the 80mm Swarovski scope is a tad big and heavy, but also way over built and engineered. I have similar thoughts about the 82mm Kowa. But lets face it these two are the class of the field. But do keep your eyes open, because I may have found a new beast. gary [/QUOTE]
