OK, I have really liked the SWFA I got a few months ago. However, today I noticed a distinct shortcoming with it. Specifically regarding what would likely be attributed to its lens coating when shooting toward (but NOT into) the sun. I don't often shoot in the morning, but I did get out in my backyard today. I shot from inside my shed so there wasn't any direct light hitting me or the scope and yet the contrast that I was seeing through the scope was, well, pretty crappy.
Is this a deal breaker? No. But I just thought I'd share this so other folks would be aware of how important quality lens coating are in optics. This is especially true when you're shooting in any sort of back-lighted scenario.
Here's where I was shooting from. As far as I can tell, it was really just the back-lighted grass that was causing the visual problem. Other times of day I have ZERO issues with this scope.
