Introduction to Optics

[Tartar Horde]

When it comes to optics good glass doesn't come cheap, and to make a lens with the absolute minimum of abberation and crispness to the the edge is costly. That doesn't mean those lower priced optics aren't any good, it's just a matter of refinement. There are thousands of shooter out there who use optics in the £100-150 price range, such makers as Hawke for instance. When you get deeper into the sport and understand it a bit more you will naturally want better equipment, and more importantly be able to appreciate it. When you look through a top end optic like Leupold, Bausch & Lomb, Doctor optics you will see a difference in clarity and sharpness, these top end lens are sharp to the edges where cheaper ones aren't. It's like cars, a Fiesta will get you to town, but a Jag will do it better
