·I liked the Millet so much that I bought another one. My first one had the "fungus" problem but for me problem was minor and overall I was very happy with it as the glass is very crisp and clear. I can't say I am happy with my 2nd Millet though. Even though the 2nd one does not have the fungus problem, it's glass is not as crisp and clear as the first one. Millet seems to be very inconsistent with their QC.
My first DMS1, on FAL:
Got the Fungus problem when illumination is on #10 and #11 and only at night. The fungus problem totally disappears on #9. Looking down the hill at the lights of the street lamp everything is crisp and clear. Just as clear as my $1100 Leupold, and the crsipness is only a hair below my ACOG in quality. This particuliar Millet seems excellent at gathering light. This one did not come with flip up scope caps but did come with a spare battery and a scope cover (like a scope coat). The fungus problem does not bug though, as like I said, I only notice it on #10 and at night. So far I have shot 2 battle packs of SA (280 rounds) and scope is holding zero just fine.
My 2nd DMS1 on XCR:
No fungus problem whatsoever. Comes with flip-up caps in addition to the scope cover and the spare battery. But this one is not that crisp and does not seem to gather as much light as the DMS on my FAL. In the daylight it is not a big deal, and you barely can tell a difference between the 2. But when viewing at night is when you notice the difference right away as things seems so much brighter with my FAL Millet.
If I did not have 2 to compare side by side then I would have not known about the difference in clarity. I guess it's just luck of the draw if you get one with no fungus and super clear glass. Me I will take the clear glass over the fungus issue, especially in my case where the fungus only is visable at night when illumination is set at 10 or higher.
