Kahles Factory Tour: Premium Austrian Optics

This video debunks the common claim of 'parallax-free' optics. It explains that any lens system involving light refraction will inherently have some parallax. The degree of parallax increases with higher magnification. While manufacturers can reduce parallax, it cannot be entirely eliminated. Parallax is defined as the apparent shift of a target relative to the reticle when the observer's eye position changes.
