Anyone tried one of these new scopes yet? Couple of reviews here and there but not much chatter as of yet.

have been lucky enough to shoot with the v8 and its really Great optics. Solid mechanics. Large. Heavy. It could have been great for F-Class, but the reticle option and turret rotation, and click values are a big miss for F-Class. The optics are beautiful.
Are you talking about the new NA model with 1/4 moa clicks, 30mm tube and multi turn turrets?

I'd like to know as well. About to pull the trigger on one of the new NA's
Been eyeing the V8's even before the NA version. Thinking this would be a great lowlight beanfield scope for whitetail. But is it 2k better than the NX8, or 3k better than a Leica Amplus or 1.5k better than a S&B PM2, etc?
Zeiss makes awesome stuff. I'd be surprised if it's that much better than SB.

Following. I'm just one of the guys interested in the world of high end optics. Zeiss has been the game for a long time.

I'd really like to know the optical difference between the 2.8-20 and the 4.8-35. Does the higher mag option start to fall off optically compared to the lower mag version at a certain power?
I know with the Z8 Swaro that the 2.3-18 is significantly better than the 3.5-28 optically at almost any magnification, and really shows
It's difference in low light. Does the higher mag Zeiss do the same thing?

I answered my own question. I spend the last 3 days with my new 4.8-35.
Honestly the best optic as far as glass I've owned. It almost has no noticeable drop off at max magnification. It's bright. It's clear.
I'll post up a review after a few weeks of it strapped to a 6.5 PRC.

Looking forward to hearing about it.
