[QUOTE="EdWalton, post: 1084800, member: 84326"] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=3]I just bought a Schmidt & Bender in 5 – 25 x 56mm. I’ve spent a few weekends scoping over our power line. There’s a lot of lighting & distance variables that come into play. At times I have a hard time seeing the fine crosshairs at 5X (its front focal plane); at distances of more than 1,500 yards during the bright daylight the humidity limits me to under 20X; at end of day 12X is about my limit. It’s a magnificent piece of glass, but I finding learning how it will perform in all the various situations is exciting.
