    I believe they are different internally and therefore cannot be replaced.

    Spotters Kowa Prominar vs Vortex Razor... Have we done this?

    That's a depth of field issue. What model is the Razor and how far away are you from the object you're observing?

    March FX 4.5-28x52 FFP High Master

    One unmentioned (so far) feature of the March-FX 4.5-28X52 HM is its ultra-wide FOV of 25° compared to the 20° of the March 3-24X42. That means you will have and 25% side to side FOV for a total of 156% of the view through the Marc 3-24X42, The FOV in the 4.5-28X52 HM is huge.

    Spotters Kowa Prominar vs Vortex Razor... Have we done this?

    The Kowa Prominar features lenses made from pure fluorite crystal. This type of glass virtually eliminates all chromatic aberration and makes for superb color definition and contrast. I also contend that the use of this type of glass produces an image that is more resistant to distortion from...

    Spotters I'm sure this is going to come across as a dumb question but here I am asking it...

    I didn't notice this thread when it first showed up, sorry for my late response. Optics manufacturers have been dealing with interchangeable lenses and eyepieces for many decades. Cameras have had intercheangeable lenses for a very long time. I remember my first SLR from the early 70s, having...

    That's good feedback, but allow me to address one aspect you mentioned that is really not an issue; ring height selection. The concept mechanism that was show at SHOT is actually a system. There would be a series of attachments that would provide: added height, canted mounts, and perhaps even...

    Yes, I figured you were only mentioning the first point as being your experience. However, the other two points are very valid and certainly something to consider in this system. Point #2 about having the reticle perfectly level to the body of the scope is something that DEON can control, but...

    I'm sure you're correct, and as I mentioned in my earlier response, making sure a reticle is perfectly center and leveled in a riflescope is certainly something that DEON can deliver, and I pointed to the fact they make riflescopes with dual reticles as an example of manufacturing capabilities.

    SHOT SHOW 2024 NEW RIFLESCOPES

    We discussed these three points at length at SHOT with DEON. This is just a concept but like everything else when it comes to optics, it's not a fit-all solution and it's not going to replace the current mechanisms that are highly adjustable. It is believed that this would appeal to shooters...

    SHOT SHOW 2024 NEW RIFLESCOPES

    I'm sure it's because I used different specs than the ones you have. I got them some months ago from S&B website. There were two sheets, as I remember, one for US and on for Euro version. The Euro version had the dual vision thing, and since I was only interested in what people can get in the...

    SHOT SHOW 2024 NEW RIFLESCOPES

    The spreadsheet I put together allows me to specify "f" or "m" for the values I enter from the various website. My formula uses feet @ 100 yards if "f" or meters @ 100 meters if "m". I did it this way because lots of sites have the values in imperial only and others have them in metric only...

    Yeah, the March-X 5-50X56 and 8-80X56 were introduced about 12 years ago. They have ED lens and they were the first of the March-X series which denotes 34mm tubes with the 4mm thick walls. The X series has expanded to include FFP scopes, so you have the March-X for SFP and the March-FX for...

    @Glassaholic I use the metric numbers provided: 0.545m @ 80X and 5.45m @ 8X. The US values are 1.64ft @80X and 16.4ft @8X. The numbers you listed are for the older 8-80X56, not the Majesta. Swarovski has A patent on wide angle eyepieces using A method. DEON uses another method that does...

    @Glassaholic I resisted pasting the whole thread here. I read what you wrote and it really boils down to personal impressions and memory. I suspect you have had very little time with the Majesta and it's been a year or more since that time. Working from memory and from different conditions...

    (snip) I don’t think Glass appreciates mirage and what it does the IQ of a riflescope in the conditions with which Gary is familiar when he speaks about the Majesta. I don’t think Glass has enough experience with a Majesta or any other riflescope, in the conditions that Gary encounters in...

    She is also very knowledgeable about the March products and also competes in F-class.

    How are the march f 3-24x52 and fx 4.5-28x52?

    Given your stated goals and choosing between the two models, I would concur with your choice because of the wide-angle of the March-FX 4.5-28X52. The FOV at 4.5X is similar (not equivalent) to the FOV at 3X of the 3-24X42/52. And at any equivalent magnification the FOV of the 4.5-28X52 will be...

    How are the march f 3-24x52 and fx 4.5-28x52?

    @stanley_white Thanks highlighting this thread for me. The reason I have not posted here is that, while I have looked through several March 3-24X42 and 52, I have never used one. On the other hand, there is a March-FX 4.5-28X52 with the PDK reticle on my AR-10. However, now that I'm here...

    March FX 1-10x24mm Shorty Gen II Focus Question

    What are you talking about? :sneaky: You use the side focus to, wait for it, focus the picture from the objective. I agree that as a photographer, you have a much better understanding and appreciation for DOF, but it's another thing to convey carry that over to riflescopes. I completely...

    March FX 1-10x24mm Shorty Gen II Focus Question

    I'm wondering if you mean depth of field (DOF) instead of parallax when you mention it's "parallax sensitive". If you mean DOF, then I will point out that at low magnification, the DOF is quite extensive, but since this is a 10X zoom, when you get towards the top end, the DOF will shrink...
