Eyepiece Comparison - Zeiss Diavari vs HT - 09/30/17
There is a very unique feature that Zeiss Victory Diavari eyepieces have: The edge of the eyepiece is barely visible when you position your eye at the exit pupil. Therefore, you see the sight picture almost seamlessly superposed on the surrounding background. I call this "edge-less view". This is opposite of "tunnel view" where you see a thick dark circle around the image shown by the eyepiece before the background starts.
I was wondering if Zeiss Victory HT also has the same eyepiece. But after a brief comparison at a gun shop I noticed that the eyepiece of the HT models is different. It's size and length is also different than the Diavari eyepiece. While the view through the HT eyepiece is nice, it did not seem to be the same "edge-less" view that I was expecting. I am wondering if anyone else has experience with Zeiss HT scopes and has compared them with previous Diavari models. (The Zeiss Diavari 6-24X56 FL models and Hensoldt 6-24X56 tactical scopes have the same amazing edgeless view as well)
Thanks,
