I needed a better illuminator on one and better optics on the other - Firefield Nightfall II 5x50 Gen 1 Night Vision Monocular

I ordered two of these and the first one had a real bad ghost right in the center of the lens. It was virtually impossible to use due to this. enery time I tried to scan in the field it looked as if soething was moving. The second one had very clear optics but the IR illuminator was aiming too far to the right so it only lit up half the viewing field. I have jumped up in price hoping for an improvement by trying the Bushnell Equinox Z. Hopefully I will be writing a good review for it in the near future.
