New Schmidt

[MartinB]

Is anyone in posession of the new (i think) S&B with league leading light transmission at 96% (or so its claimed).

 

Just wondered how your getting on with it

Afternoon Martin,

 

Out of interest can you post a link to this please or do you know what the 96% 'is' i.e. 96% of 'what'?

 

I see these values pop up now and again e.g. the Swaro 5Xi carries in its technical data 90%. ( http://uk.swarovskioptik.com/hunting/x5-i-5-25x56-p-c20050702/x5-5-25x56-p-l-4w-p5191991. ) but no explanation of how it's tested, the next line on the 5Xi spec. 'Twilite factor' does specify ISO 14132-1 which is a start, until you realise this standard only defines naming conventions, no testing procedure

 

Cheers signed

You will have to have very good eyes indeed to see anything better than the Ziess optically although I was very impressed with PM 2 when I looked through one all be it in very good light.
