Yes, but that's the point. It's a sight not a telescope. So great glass that's given (you would hope) but that is only one of at least 3 attributes of a top end scope in todays market.
A good sight makes it easier for the shooter to make the shot in whatever game. So this particular product needs to be judged on that basis and I am afraid it fails in comparison to the competition in the long range hunting market that it is targeted at. Good glass is only one element.
To have entered the marked at that price point with a second focal plane scope is a mistake. Producing software products that will support the shooter by telling him how much the sub tensions are worth at various magnifications is a poor attempt to make up for this failure. It introduces risk and unnecessary complexity into the shot.
Now whether this is a failure on their part to understand their business, an inability to manufacture the product or is Group politics i.e. Kahles are in that space so your brand is not allowed to encroach, I know not and don't really care.
Swarovski are pushing an out of date approach and product. Part of the point of forums such as these is to allow the exchange of information which will allow potential buyers to make informed choices. Your opinion is valuable as it is one side of a valid debate, as are the counter arguments.
It's Swarovski and the glass is great should not make it immune from criticism and does not serve anyone well, least of all Swarovski who need a wake up call.
