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
Which end does the Lens Filter go on a Hensoldt ZF1 Model 1 scope?

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.

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
