Alright guys. I’ve researched ferociously and came to you a few times for guidance, but I think I’m finally zeroed in on what will be best suited for my needs.
Athlon Ares 15-45x65
Athlon Ares 15-45x85
Maven CS1 15-45x65
Maven S.2 12-27x56
I was really narrowed down to the top 3, but ran across the S2. I see that it uses flourite and has great reviews online, but the zoom is significantly lower than the other models.
Is 45x zoom really necessary though? What is the top of my glassing range at 27x zoom? I’m assuming with elite glass, I won’t run into any issues when maxing out it’s capabilities like I’ve heard happens in some of the lower end models (Athlon Argos.)
Disclaimer: I would really love to have some kowa 55’s or 66’s, but it’s just not in the budget. Please refrain from suggesting stuff that is above 1100 USD. With that being said I’m still open to suggestions.
I have a lead for the 85mm Ares priced at 600, so that’s why those are included. I would really prefer to stay around 60mm for weight savings.
Thanks in advance. You guys have been awesome and I really appreciate the knowledge.
