I did another comparison last night. It was the Zeiss that is the topic of this thread, Leupold 2.5-8 (VX and Vari-X), and a Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10x44mm.
The 1.8-5.5 simply smoked them all in the dim light. This is my finest scope, optically, and not by a little.
For $299! Cool beans.
HOWEVER, it's actually bigger and longer than the 3.5x10x44mm. Guess there's a price for the optical quality.
The resolution, eye box, and brightness are just superb.
If I could think of another rifle that could use one, I'd be all over it, but it is a rather "specialty" scope.
