    Zen 9x36 ED2 impressions

    Looking forward to trying them all. No, I cannot tolerate any focus wheel slack. Drives me absolutely batty. I am fortunate that I still have excellent vision, and I think I'm just real sensitive to out of focus areas. Nothing has snapped into focus as easily as my Sightron's, so I know it...

    Zen 9x36 ED2 impressions

    I picked up a pair of used 9x36's a few weeks ago after having been curious about Zen Ray's for quite some time. I really like(d) the 9x36 format, and had high hopes for these. Zen Ray always seem to be well liked, except for a consistent undertone of poor QC. I guess I hoped that would just...
