3..5 -10 x42 is no Bueno?. If their glass is near what it was in the previous V3s it'll still be better than 90% of the 50s out there by other manufacturers. Whatever Zeiss does they'd have to drop a long ways in quality to hit Vortex levels and several other popular brands..

Only their high end military stuff was made in Germany. Most is " assembled" in the U.S. and I think they share a plant with Burris. U.S. "assembly" means little though. Its more about where they source their internals and most go offshore to do it. If a guys lucky you get higher end Japanese glass and it IS good. Most of the bigger $$ US scope lines are Japanese glass. Many cotract their entire process to asian companies.
I bought a Steiner once. Had it for 2 days. Low light performance was horrible.
Swaro still the best glass for the buck imo. All but their Z3 and Z5 are still 100% made in Austria and they own Kahles as well. For a testimonial look through a pair of NL Pure binos sometime. Nothings close.
