Cons: Could be brighter, (Without changing anything else) !!!!
Pros: Lovely natural view, engages you with the subject, even over long viewing periods.
Summary: Slightly duller view than latest Alpha bins. Was going to invest in Swaro EL 10x42 due to brightness and lower weight. However EL is same weight and in use it does have a brighter but not better image. BA\'s offer an eminently natural view the moment you view, 3D, depth of field, what you see is what you get. EL\'s seemed to need a moment to resolve a view that was good but not exactly 3D or \'geometrical\', sorry don\'t know how to explain it.

Cons: No front objective covers provided by Leica for this model, focus wheel a little resistant - could be a little less stiff. Not a big deal as it works well enough - just nitpicking here.
Pros: Still feels like I bought it last week! Absolutely solid and problem free. Armoring still impeccable. Purchased in 2000. Image still makes me go \"wow!\"
Summary: Waited a long time to justify purchase but once bought had absolutely no regrets. Bought the 8 x 42 BA a week later as both were fantastic. The 8x has been my default bins. Compared to Zeiss 10x40 Classic, the 10x42 Swarovski SLC and the newly introduced Swarovski 8.5 x 42 EL. Preferred the view of the Leica over the Zeiss ( rolling ball effect) and the EL (black outs ). The Leica felt the most durable as well and I liked the look and ergonomics. All the alphas of that era were very comparable but I favored the Leica. Would have liked to have the 7 x 42 as well the 8 x 32 BA models as well but my pocket has limits.

Cons: Near focus isn´t very good which causes problems in rainforests as you have to use the focuswheel a lot, but living in Denmark it´s been a marginal problem for me.
Pros: Very good quality and wellconstructed. I´ve had mine for 26 years now and have decided to run the guarantee down, as it still is functioning perfect.
Summary: A great binocular
