Rifle Scopes Why does my eye see so much CA?

Just curious, not that I could afford them anytime soon but any reason the Minox ZP5 seems a little less popular than the Atacr, Kahles or S&B ?

It's been covered but I'll let @Glassaholic do the honors, as he does it very well.

Oh please don't, I'm getting exhausted Let me try to sum up:
Minox ZP5

• Design came from Optronika (who is now GSO) which was behind the design of the Premier/TT and now Blaser scopes
• Had some initial QC issues
• Had some initial turret issues (2nd rev resistance, too much play, etc.)
• Finally fixed turret issues (but hard to get past early struggles)
• Glass was phenomenal (but some guys appeared to get glass that was subpar)
• Nobody knew/knows the Minox name, certainly not for high end sport optics
• MR4 was one of the best tree reticles for a while (highly subjective)
• Did not have a great marketing team for USA
• Shot themselves in the foot in 2018 (maybe it was 2019?) when Blaser offered Minox scopes for 1/2 price if you bought one of their cheap Mauser rifles (that weren't selling in the American market), but Blaser didn't include fine print to exclude Minox ZP5 line from the deal and soon everyone was buying a $300 rifle to save $1750 on a scope.
• No warranty support in USA, if a major issue arises you must ship the scope to Germany (actually you ship to Blaser USA and they ship to Germany) and wait potentially months before you get the scope back.

Hopefully that helps explain why they don't do as well
