Just to add another contender, why have
you ruled out Zeiss?
I have a pair of quite old Zeiss, which
are fantastic. I have just spent a couple of weeks birding and game
viewing in the Kalahari with a South African mate who has a new pair of Zeiss –
I naturally tried them and was most impressed,

Swarovski vs Leica
I’m
in about the same position Simon, having decided that my 10x42 BA’s are
eligible for retirement – how about a big brass and glass case over the
mantelpiece?
I
tried out some Swaros vs Leicas just before Xmas and thought the Swaros
definitely collected more light. It’s going to be a difficult decision
though.

vs Leica
Hi everyone, I know this discussion
has been around for a while but has anyone recently purchased / compared the
Swarovski 10x42EL with the relatively new Leica Ultravid 10X42BR. I'm looking
at getting a new pair in the not too distant future, I currently use an old
pair of Leica 10x42 BA's which I've had for about 16years and they have been
great, but not sure which way to go this time round...can anyone help!
