Scope diameter & Lens Quality.

[pwiles1968]

I have been looking at purchasing another compound scope with Fluorescent Center Pin to see if I like it or not, but have noticed in Target scopes there seem to be quite a few different lens diameters to choose from at the moment I have seen a range from 29mm right up to 42mm lenses, Now initially I was looking at the smallest I could get for the basic reason to give me more clearance to my arrows, is there an advantage to a larger lens is it the same as a Camera will it let in more light? or do you just see more of the target and stuff around the target if that is the case I suspect it may be distracting.

I have a basic petron scope at the moments and was thinking of going for another cheaper scope with a Flo Pin, there are a couple of Cartel Scopes with Different Diameter Lenses Cartel Triple 406 with 30mm and Cartel X-Pert with 42mm I could get that one to match my bow . What would be the benefit of spending another £50+ to get a Zeiss Lens or similar are there really any, not too bothered about image quality the way I shoot at the moment the target is out of focus and it does not really bother me.

Buy a Titan Scope.
The lenese are Hoya coated optics of the highest quality and yet are very cheap, only $45AUD for a new one, most of our customers own 2-3 spare lenes of different configs.
You can buy them from Urban or from Quicks.

Just spotted the 3D scope that looks nice what is the relative advantage of a bigger lens and apeture? are there any advantages.

If the scope has a 1mm whole in the lens or an attchment the beiter pins for the k lens fit, I bought a 42mm cartel x-pert scope and the pins fit that fine
