Zoom Focus Tour

The Zoom has a more substantial feel to it and a tackier texture, making it easier to maintain a stable hold. The extra width may be problematic for those with smaller hands.

Clear and bright in a variety of light conditions. The scope that flashes up is slightly more opaque than on the Nikon, which means it doesn’t contrast and stand out quite as well.

Couldn’t be simpler – just point and shoot, pressing the mode button occasionally to activate the flag mode, which means the unit will vibrate when it has been picked out.

The slope button is well positioned on the side, although the red indicator icon could have been made more visible. Flag distances seemed to take a fraction longer than the Nikon.

Many will prefer the extra stability from the more weighty feel, and possibly the hybrid metallic visuals too. The shorter range and slightly slower distances aren’t deal breakers in our view.
