    The Z5 isn't perfect but the march glass is possibly the worst made and I really tried to like it but couldn't see animals that others could.

    I found the glass great, but the parallax very fine. What I mean is if you didn't have it adjusted perfect it made the sight picture sensitive too and you had to be exactly in the right position. Maybe that's actually a good thing though. Gets you consistently in the correct shooting position

    I find the glass on my March 2.5-25x42 pretty damn good. Not quite as clear/sharp as Swaro but better than the Nf I had. Maybe there’s some variation in glass in the March scopes? I got a good one

    The glass in my March 2.5-25x42 is certainly as good as the six Z5 3.5-18×44 we own and only marginally behind my Z6 2.5-15X44.
