I used Leups for about 47 years and have tried a few others but was sold on Leups. Then a few yrs back I started having to screw the eyepiece back to focus better and this went on until I ran out of threads. I was seeing double crosshairs so if I used my readers the crosshairs were focused but the target wasn't. Eye dr said all I really needed was readers so prescription glasses wouldn't be much help but lasiks might help. So I went down to Cabelas and started looking through other brands and found that the Swarovski Z3 in 3-9 x 36 or 3.5-10x40 would focus great for me with a lot of adjustment left. I've now replaced 4 Leups with Swaro with one more to go. My sons were more than happy to take my hand-me-downs. A bonus was the Swaro has a noticeable clearer and sharper image.
So long story short....Leups are good but Swaro is better.
