In any case, decimals don't really matter when it comes to magnification factor. FOV figures would be interesting to see. Otherwise, it will all come down to actual image quality. We'll see soon enough.Compared to the ATX 95, the one clear advantage of the Zeiss will be the magnification range from 23-30x, which will be very welcome to many birders contemplating their choice. As a high magnification freak, I'm likely to stick with my ATX with extender X and 70-120x range, which the Zeiss from the little we have heard does not seem to offer (yet).Kimmo</blockquote>
