Owner since: 5 years
Price: 2000 Austr
User profile: Amateur
Cons: A little small to hold but ok. Eye pieces a bit awkward at first but you get used to it. In Australia they are somewhat overpriced
Pros: Solid build. Great clarity and brightness in dull conditions. I use them primarily at sporting events and watching horse racing and find it easy to hold a stable image. Well designed carry case.
Summary: A great all rounder

Cons: It\'s so small that grip/handling can be compromised for larger hands. Eye position is a bit finicky, not as comfortable as competitors as Zeiss FL 8x32 or Swarovski EL 8x32
Pros: The view is just perfect. Great contrast, great sharpness. Very light and small. Rugged. Great design.
Summary: Top performance in small package. Its diminutive size can end up being a nuisance, since eye position and grip are compromised. Maybe the can be a dream binocular for someone with small hands.

Cons: The eyecups sometimes when I pull them pulled out get loose.
Pros: Compact, light weight, quick focus, sharp image, build like a tank and at the same time good looking.
Summary: Very useful, rather light weight and very good quality binoculars for long walks in bad weather. Especially if you can find them second hand for a good price. Find my Ultravid 10 x 25 even a better choice for that though.

User profile: Amateur
Cons: Limited eye relief Very poor edge definition Small sweet spot Supplied case is a bit bulky given the diminuitive bino size
Pros: Fantastic central clarity Small size Pretty good low light performance Focusing improved on previous model Did I mention small?
Summary: It's time for Leica to get it together and produce an instrument that gives the edge sharpness of Nikons EDG, or a Swarovision. They charge the same! Not impressive optically unless you only view centrally, but good control of CA and distortion. Eye relief just adequate, nothing more. I bought mine used/mint, and untried. I can't see much improvement over my venerable Trinovid BAs which are £1k cheaper and 20 years older Poor effort Leica.
