[QUOTE="kenai_king19, post: 438688, member: 27838"] I got this range finder during the summer and used it a bit. My review. Royally sucks in fog, but so does Leica, bushnell, etc. I have found no range finders that can range ANY fog. From very light and can see 500 yards out to maybe 50 yards of shooting distance, all are incapable of ranging in this environment. Does good in rain but not completely sure, it was a lighter rain. Will find out about snow as well later in winter. Ranging capabilities: It will not do what is advertised but 1500 yards is good enough:rolleyes:. However, it cannot and will not range unless completely stable, so that means mounting on tripod, otherwise best range is probably around 600 yards off hand. I tried it each and every way it will not range long distance with you just using your hands and a solid rest on a bench it did good but can't take a bench to the field, so tripod it has to be. It does have 8x magnification which is huge especially from the smaller size of the Leica. It is definitely not as quick as the Leica 1200.
