I have recently become the proud owner of a pair of Leica Ultravid 10X42BR
after 10 years with a pair of Zeiss 10 x 40Bs
My wife has Swarovski 10 x 42 ELs
The Leicas are lighter and more compact and have brilliant clarity (slightly
better than the ELs -personal view).
It is almost impossible to separate the Leicas and the Swarovskis in low
light conditions
The Swarovskis are better at close focusing
The focusing of the Leicas is more direct and faster than the Swarovski
As other's have said - it all comes down to personal preference but Judith
has confessed that if she was buying new bins she would buy Leica rather
than Swarovski
I hope this helps

Gavin

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!
Cheers
Simon.
