Leica 40093 Ultravid 8x42 HD-Plus verrekijker

Good Points: Beautifully bright Depth of focus Image clarity Let a mate use them who went "wow!" when he looked through them. I am really pleased I bought them Improvement Points: Nothing really. Bit heavier than I am used to, but that's great lenses for you. Slightly clumsy dust shields as others have noted.

Good Points: Easy to hold and very comfortable initially they felt a bit heavy but after some use they feel great Improvement Points: Adjusting of the strand and the eye piece covers are a bit clumsy

Good Points: Excellent glass and construction as you would expect from Leica and other top brands. What swung it for me was the quality of my Leica rangefinder I have had fro some years and the fact that Leica give back to shooting with the Leica Experience Day. Improvement Points: I got a good deal but the price of quality binoculars is way too high IMO. That's across the board with the quality brands, not unique to Leica.

Good Points: Excellent ergonomics, high quality optics and perfect for bird watching. High end binocular suitable for serious birder and watchers Improvement Points: A bit heavy and bit bulkier. Focus adjustable a bit difficult with close image clearly.

Good Points: Very easy to handle for general birdwatching and with a good field of view. Beautifully manufactured, ok they are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for, a super pair of binoculars with no compromises Improvement Points: None
