The FF-II has that dated Leupold beat in clarity and low light abilities. With that, the Leupold is still very serviceable and seem to bring close $250 depending on condition and buyer. Sometimes they bring $150 or so if they’ve turned purple, have ring marks, scratches etc.

History repeats itself because it worked. If it didn’t work in the first place, it wouldn’t be history but another lost story of insignificance.
