Can someone explain for me the harsh critique of swarovski, which from what i've read on hear is only bc of "poor eye relief". I was confused when I looked at the numbers.

Eye Relief Specs
Swarovski Z5 5-25 x52 = 3.74

Sightron SIII 6-24 x50 = 3.6 - 3.8

NightForce NXS 5-22 x50 = 3.7

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Swaro on 6 power:

The camera is so close that it is struggling. The image is dark, the animals look further away than they do with the Sightron.



Sightron on 6 power:
The eye relief is long, the picture is bright, the animals appear larger and the scope does not cut my clients eyebrows.

Re: Eye Relief
Just bear in mind that Swaro will no doubt be addressing these issues as time passes. However, for this to come about, there needs to be people like myself highlighting problems.

Re: Eye Relief
Wow, big difference.
Would not guess that by the stats alone.
