Unavoidable unless you buy your own hosting for uncompressed images.What’s interesting is the pictures on posting or not coming in as clean as they actually are on the phone itself. So the compressions kind of screwing up the clarity of the pictures…
I don't know how the turrets could possibly be considered a letdown?can you guys describe the turrets?
I have been told that’s a little
But of a let down. Only complaint I have been seeing though is that they are large.
Yeah, I echo Tyler's comments. The only issue with the turrets is the sheer size. The actual function is very good, very distinct tactile click. Not spongy at all.can you guys describe the turrets?

Did you buy one of these??Anyone have a lead on the throw lever in stock?

Would love to look through it next time you are at the range
Yes, Zeiss's Conquest V6 Scope Lever is the official lever that fits the scope. I'm sure SportOptics or EuroOptics will have them now.Anyone have a lead on the throw lever in stock?
I am unfamiliar with the ultra “clear”, 4-16x56 sounds more like the ultra bright, is that what you meant? If so I didn’t know the ultra bright struggled so much with CA.So I did pictures through the S5, an S&B 5-25 (PM II), 4-16 (ultra clear), and 5-20 (ultra short).
The S5 and the classic PM II are on par with each other.
What really surprised me was that the ultra clear at magnification had some purple on the edges that was very noticeable. Don’t get me wrong, the picture was very clean, just the ultra clear glass was not as nice as the S5 subjectively due to the CA. Which makes me wanna try the S5 scope with the lower magnification… especially given that the 4-16x56 ultra clear is a big scope.
The 5-20x56 ultra short at full magnification did not have as nice picture as the S5.
It was definitely easier to get clean pictures through the Schmidt and bender 5-25x56 PM II.
However, the eye box was much more forgiving on the S5, even though the eye relief on both scopes is the same according to the manuals.
I did find that both of the 5-25 scopes appear to have comparable glass.
If you want you can borrow mine…Did you buy one of these??

Looks like a misaligned turret to me.What are we looking at?
Nightforce level turret alignment.What are we looking at?
Nightforce level turret alignment.
Zero is off, not sure what that means...?Time to test out Zeiss warranty
How does the zero set work? Any way to micro adjust alignment after loosening the set screws?Time to test out Zeiss warranty
Negative, the cap rests into a machined channel exactly at 0 (that's what it feels like).How does the zero set work? Any way to micro adjust alignment after loosening the set screws?
PS - I'm not a fan of tall turrets, but I do like how they printed their numbers with bold full mil values and thin 1/2 mil marks and 2nd rev numbering, just wish they would have shaved off half of the knurling up top.
I see now, at 0 it is fine, but after moving it beyond zero it seems to be off. I'm assuming you just received the scope, you should contact the dealer and ask for an exchange, many Hide dealers give about 14 days to return, just a thought instead of going through Zeiss warranty.Negative, the cap rests into a machined channel exactly at 0 (that's what it feels like).
Aaaand the warranty department is observing a holiday schedule.

I dunno of a single vendor that will let you return a scope once it's been mounted in rings* if they can tellI see now, at 0 it is fine, but after moving it beyond zero it seems to be off.

Good reason too check your zero alignment right away
other than taking mine out of the box to take a look at it, haven't had a chance to use it. Looked to day, sure enough , lands smack dab in the middle of the marks to each side. I'll b giving tyler a holler later todayI see now, at 0 it is fine, but after moving it beyond zero it seems to be off.

Kyle brown says when you go...
it looks like that ZCO is indeed made by it's own company, not by kahles.i will check this. right now i don't believe you.

Edge clarity looks remarkable, what power is this at?
Also wondering when his (Ilya) review of this scope will be completed?!I am unfamiliar with the ultra “clear”, 4-16x56 sounds more like the ultra bright, is that what you meant? If so I didn’t know the ultra bright struggled so much with CA.
Sounds like Zeiss went all out with their entry into FFP long range scopes, hopefully Swaro, Leica and Blaser will follow suit. Been hoping and praying for the Blaser 4-20x58 to come out with effective Christmas tree reticle and full travel tactile turrets - with Minox being a sister company (to Blaser) it wouldn’t be too hard.
I kind of wish this Zeiss LRP was a 3.6-18x56, there’s just too much competition in the 50mm market in this mag range. ZCO 4-20, Schmidt 3-20 US, March 4.5-28 and Kahles 3.5-18 all deliver alpha class quality.
Curious to see how ILya’s upcoming review of 50mm scopes turns out and how this LRP stacks up.
On the Zeiss???Can somebody explain to me why they use oddball Torx sizes and DIFFERENT ONES FOR WINDAGE AND ELEVATION (T6 and T8 respectively)?
The different sizes make no sense, and I didn't have T6 or T8 in my range bag the other day.
