    Leupold Gold Ring HD 8x32 versus SV 8x32

    Bill, Thanks for explaining!!! I really mean that. Unlike you I'm no practical and skilled optical expert, so I'm gonna phrase on a way I've understood the material. From factory visits I understood that the coatings were brought on the optical glass surface in a high vacuum container where a...

    Leupold Gold Ring HD 8x32 versus SV 8x32

    35 layers says nothing as long as they are not of the right thickness to achieve the goal the manufacturer wants to achieve. Everybody can put 35 or 100 layers on their lenses/prisms, but will it work? It's what Etudiant wrote: The total combination of correct measures counts. Jan

    Leupold Gold Ring HD 8x32 versus SV 8x32

    To take it to the next level: I read somewhere that TCI invested 40 million US$ in Meopta in 1998 and we all know who is behind TCI, but that does not mean Swarovski outsources their products. AFAIK is Swarovski the ONLY optic giant that produces their optical products in house. Ofcourse they...

    Leupold Gold Ring HD 8x32 versus SV 8x32

    Zeiss, Leica, Swarovski, Schmidt&Bender, Meopta, Optolyth, Steiner (Porro) grind and polish Schott, Hoya and/or OHara optical glass. They buy glass in bulk and/or in blanks. And believe it or not they all throw away the boxes. No secret about that!! I find it hard to believe that a Swarovski...
