I guess another version was probably Sig Sauer Zulu3 8x32 and in one of the many posts it was supposed that the BS clones are likely to have been superceded. However the KF I just received seems at least as good as remembered and seems nice and sharp, with a clear view nearly to the edge which I think makes it feels more immersive - so maybe it has been improved? Eye relief is more than enough for me with glasses and, unlike some with 32mm objective lenses, it is comfortable and easy to get the right eye position as before. The armour seems a bit more rubbery and less hard-plasticky and it has a serial number and 'KF35A1' on the label on the inner surface of one barrel, which I don't remember, along with Fujifilm Corp. and made in Philippines (Fujinon elsewhere on the outside).
