How did you focus both scopes ? E
I actually focus Leupolds very carefully,and pretty much follow your technique.
The Swaro has a fast focus eyepiece,so I just turn it till things look right.
I have not compared either of these scopes to my Ziess Conquests,but I will really soon.
I can tell you that neither of them is in the same league optically with a big Victory series Ziess,but they cost twice as much as a Swaro Z3.
