Haven't paid yet, but yeah was about to. All is good and the seller is being great to deal with

Nothing like a bit of buyers remorse to wake you up :P

I got the hd5, excellent glass quality and low light is hard to beat!

ok i have not yet owned a zeiss though i have shot with a few, i would still go for the leupold purely because the back up service is outstanding

How are people finding the ZL2 turret? I'm thinking of getting one retrofitted to my older VX6.

Excellent but the turn around time to get them done seems to vary quite a bit. I’ve had 2 done now, first one was ~3 weeks, 2nd one was 6+.

@chainsaw What's the ball-park cost of getting it done? Thanks for the info.

Under $300, can’t remember exact number but something like 270 or 280. Give the boys at NZAsia a call for quote. Mine both went back to US to get fitted, some go to Aussie & might be slightly cheaper
