He might have been suggesting that a closer comparison would be between a Z5 and the HD5. There is a $500 price difference approx. between those two lines.
Yes, and I was also suggesting that the 3x zoom scope has a built in optical advantage versus the 5x zoom scope in regards to clarity and brightness.
Regarding cost, I have seen the HD5 at close to 1/2 the price of the Z5.
