I'm in the market for a new scope. Originally I was going to get a Leica APO77 (which I prefer to the Swarovski, having compared them side by side), but, based on comments here, I'm now very much interested in the Nikon ED82 with the 25-75 zoom lens. However, I've not managed to field test one yet. I've two main questions:
1. How does the resolution of the Nikon compare with the Leica + zoom?
2. I'm aware that scampo has had to send his Nikon off for repair after knocking it over. That sounds like bad news. So how robust is it? (My trusty old Bushnell Spacemaster has got knocked over several times, but the optics are still perfect, even though the casing got chipped)
