I own an old Leupold 12-40x60 spotter, like it, but 20 years later my eyes are not nearly as good. Want to upgrade; is the new Leupold with HD glass definitely better in clarity and definition compared to my old glass? I do know in the EHJ test Issue 141, they actually rated it better than the Vortex Razor HD, and nearly equal to the Zeiss Dialyt. That is just one test, and two guys opinions, probably an excellent comparison.....but several of you would probably disagree from some posts I read. I do not know the details of how they arrived at "star ratings" on clarity for example. What about comparison of the Leupold HD glass vs. old glass, anyone?
Price is probably not an issue in my upgrade; my eyes just need better glass, with better definition & clarity. Thanks for any input you can give.
