Funny but true.
Midland game fair 3 years ago I first tried the Zeiss and Swarovski range finders, both seemed very good.
But I could not see the same things from each stand so could not do a direct comparison, but did think the Zeiss was easier to get a reading from.
One year later, and with cash in pocket I again looked at both, Zeiss first, again I was impressed, next the Swarovski, again good but still not convinced.
So I asked the bloke on the stand if I could borrow them against my FAC to try them against the Zeiss, no deal.
Back off to the Zeiss stand I went and asked the same question, answer can't do that mate, but you can just borrow them for half an hour.
Took them back the Swarovski stand, the bloke was a bit surprised to see me, and asked why I had bought Zeiss, I explained I had borrowed them to compare
from the Zeiss stand as they were confident theirs were better, no chance says Mr Swarovski, but he was so wrong, the Zeiss was pinging a toilet tent in a field 900 yards away, first time every time, the Swarovski couldn't do it reliably, the Swarovski also failed on a pigeon in a tree top at 1030 yards, didn't even get the tree, the Zeiss got either the pigeon or the wispy tree top every time.
I only didn't buy the Zeiss because I then discovered the two year warranty was all you got, but as I said should my old Leica RF pack up I will buy the Zeiss PRF
