"He said "If you can see it with your binoculars, you can kill it with your Leupold scope." I repeat, I tried it and he was right. I use Leica Geovids, I've found nothing better, and their superiority to the Leupold glass was very apparent, but the less-sharp & less-bright Leupold scopes were still perfectly adequate for any animal spotted, no matter how poorly-lit or far away."
Schmidt&Bender Is like what Leica is to all other binos. I'm sure no expert, I just know what I can see better with.
I live in a valley surrounded by mountains. You can do a side by side comparison between new Zeiss, Leupold LPS and S&B here and with my tired old eyes, I see a difference.
I find reading what Brent has to say reminds me of my days of 20/10 vision.
I find what J.D. has to say reminds me of my experience before getting hit with my current eye problems.
I own the worlds best, I believe in optics, and I would gladly trade it off in a second for my iron sight vision of the past.
I don't care about what it takes to keep me shooting, I just know the time is coming when I won't be able to any longer. Now that sucks, so use whatever works for you and be happy that it does work for you.
