Also the premium proprietary coatings on the glass allowed the author to shoot in low-light conditions with ease. The Vortex Razor HD Gen II features an L-Tec turret system and features a 6X zoom range. The sun was setting as I finished my shooting test on the Razor, but I was still able to observe a MOUT complex 2,000 meters away with ease. It functioned very well in low light, something that does matter if you’re waiting on the buck of a lifetime at the end of the day, or the time before clipping on your night vision makes sense. That is also a way of saying that unless you are hyper sensitive to clarity issues, you probably aren’t going to notice any difference between this and glass that costs twice as much. I am happy to say the Razor is well past that point. Clarity is an extremely hard thing to judge past a certain point of quality. I might be able to tell the difference if I set it next to German lens, but then I might not. The glass is as clear as day, with no fuzzing around the edges.
