So definitely include the Swaro Z5 2.4-12x50 & also GPO, Athlon & Element Helix 2-16x50 are definitely worth considering. Swaros - I have owned a couple of Z3s and still own 2 Z5s -the 2.4-12x50 and 3.5-18x44. Never had any issues with any of them, but I look after my gear pretty carefully.
    The 2.4-12x50 has no parallax adjustment. Have you ever found that to be an issue and how is the FOV with a 50mm objective?
