Message: <blockquote data-quote="RAH" data-source="post: 1497293" data-attributes="member: 5834">I think that this is an error in the chart. If you read the text of review, in the Minox section they say that the MINOX had the lowest "image quality" score of 2.9. So, in other words, I think that the chart has the IQ score of the Yukon and Minox reversed. Thus, the Yukon had the higher IQ as well as the higher resolution.As far as the Minox being defective, my cousin has one. The image you see thru it is adequate for the money. But the focus ring is quite stiff, although she is able to use it without causing the scope shift, because a small turn makes a fairly large difference. In other words, my experience with the scope pretty much matches the magazine review. This fact encouraged me to buy the Yukon, because I know how the Minox behaves, and if the Yukon behaves at least that well, it is a great deal for $80 and I can certainly use it.I haven't received it yet - estimated delivery is next Tuesday :-( - but when I do I will let folks know how it is.</blockquote>
