I bought my Swarovski used. It's a PV 3X12X50 . I have looked a lot on the internet and see the Z6's , PH's, and A line's ...........but never see much about the PV's . My questions is ..........is the PV better than a PH or are they the same ?
Also.........still kicking around the idea of getting a Zeiss Diavari Victory 3x12x56. I wonder if it would perform much better in low light ? I have heard guys say the Zeiss is 25% better in low light compared to a Swaro. PH...........I wonder if it would be the same compared to my PV ?

PV is a good scope, congratulations on the purchase.
In my opinion, for pure lens quality and light transmission, it doesn't get better than Zeiss' best stuff. as I haven't put a Z6 side-by-side with a Diavari, I can't say, but I would guess the Diavari would win. If money is no object of concern and absolute best low-light is the priority, get the Zeiss! Now, bring on the dissenters! |

PH and PV is the exact same scope. It's called PH (for "Professional Hunter") here in the states and PV in Europe. There's no difference.

It depends on who you ask; there are differences of opinion on this. I have scopes from both series, but not those particular models. My Swaro PH is a 6-24X50 and my Zeiss Diavari is a 2.5-10X50, so I can't make a fair comparison. I would tend to say the Zeiss is a little better in low light, but both are very good in that regard. There won't be a huge difference.
