I purchased a V series from him at the end of the hunting season last year. He gave the best price I could find on the web.

Friends of mine had both the V and Z series scopes and I got to see both of them in the field. I did purchase the illuminated German version and I have no doubt that I can see to the last legal second and probably then some.

hayes4,

Thanks. I will email him and see what I can find out.

I know, that there is a differerent coating on the lenses. On the V modell the more expensiv T* and on the Z modell Madei in US only Multilayer coating without a special name (MC written on the scope thats also the difference to the elder Z models made in Germany there is written T*). Don't ask me about the difference. I only have T* and couldn't compare to the MC coating.

Also the different size and weigth. The V model is a bit shorter and lighter.

Have a look at their website www.zeiss.de.
You will find all the info you need.

All this information took care of it. Thanks.
