I just got a nice Hensoldt ZF1 Scope kit. It is in excellent shape. Came with tool kit, lens cloth, brush and a grey lens filter. My question is and please do not laugh. Which:300000000: end does the lens filter go on? Is it the objective or eye end? It did not come with a manual and it is my first scope. Please advise. Thanks

The grey filter is inserted in front of the eye piece.

Best,

The front and rotate for the desired glare reduction.

Wait... WHAT?? He's gotten two answers. Like, I have a Trijicon ACOG on my M4 and it has a filter that goes on the front of it, kinda looks like a set of honey combs, is that what you mean?

Those are used to mask your signature of your scope.

Or maybe I misread Turbo Com's post

Sorry if the response was unclear; I replied to the OP through PM’s.

It is not a honeycomb sunshade that goes on the objective end, it is for glare reduction and inserts into the rubber cap on the eye piece.

From page 7 of the manual:

2.2.7 - A gray filter according to item 1.3.3 can be inserted in the protection cap on the eyepiece side as anti-dazzle protection. (1.3.3 provides a description of the filter.)

2.3.4 - In the case of major dazzling effect cause by sun or snow, insert gray filter (22) in rubber protection cap on eyepiece side. (22 is from figure 5 and simply labels the gray filter on the picture.)

Hope that helps.

Best,

TC

I believe it is polarized glass to eliminate reflected light or "dazzle" like they use on sunglasses and camera lens filters.
