I looked at one of these at the Bisley show , while looking at the 100 yard target numbers i noticed that if you looked off center the scope was not in focus ,i pointed this out to one of the Zeiss team who said it may have had a nock , any way a few weeks back i decided to buy one , it suffered with exactly the same problem on any magnification and any distance the center is ok the edges are not ,so i compared a bushnell 3-12x56 , and a Hawke panorama using the same magnification 4 on all scopes and the same tree both the cheapies were in focus to the edges , not the zeiss though ,
The zeiss was returned to them and they said they were not able so fix the poor sight picture so it was going back to Germany , got it back the other day with a report stating
The rifle scope corresponds in all pointsour specification,
The type and extent of th peripheral blurring found by you corresponds to the given specification,it was deliberately accepted in the optical design in favour of a large field of view and cannot be changed ,
it is very dissapointing that with my slightly ageing eyes a chinese scope appears to have trumped Zeiss ,
Moan over !! any one had the same type of issue ?? ,not sure of what to do next though ,
