[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1568580, member: 12443"] A very good friend of mine was a Kowa rep. So we got to check them all out in side by side testing. As for the Flurite glass, by and large your paying for something your not getting, and thats true with all manufacturers. They can legally advertise the more costly glass, but "only" the inner element of the multi element objective lens is actually the flurite glass. All the rest is the standard glass, same as the non Flurite models. Sit them side by side on a normal day and you "wont" see any difference. Admittedly, we never tried a dawn or dusk test. But ask yourself if thats how you would use a spotter. Today, Kowa is the only scope maker that still offers individual power eyepieces as in 30x, 20x etc. Those type eyepieces will as a rule be sharper than the zoom/variable power type. Again, side by side on the same day looking at the same objects, only the Swaro owner will see any difference between those and the Kowa. [/QUOTE]
