New Canon 12x36 IS
I have been looking real hard at a pair of Leica 8x32 non HD. The price was low enough as the store was trying to move them. I went it to buy them and walked out with a pair of Canon 12x36...

Neil,
I took your advice, kind of. After going into the store to buy the Leica 8x32 I started to think. I have 2 pairs of 8x32's (Swaro CL, Nikon SE), a Leica 8x20, and a 10x42 Nikon SE. Maybe...

Lots of good opinions. Thanks!
I did take the CL's in to compare them last night. I did not look at specs prior until today because I wanted my unbiased opinion of the comparison.
For what it is...

Please remember that all that follows is based on only one sample of each bino and what my eyes see. I suspect that our eyes have a greater effect on why we like a particular bino more than the...

Dennis,
I picked up some of the Vortex Razor HD's. After comparing them to my 8x32SE's I could see a difference. When I really looked at fine detail, the Vortex was just not as sharp. I hated to...

I have decided to return the Vortex binos. The only negative is that they are not as sharp as the Nikon SE's to my eyes. Since I don't need waterproof roofs at this time, I am fine with waiting...

Took my 10x42 SE's to the optics shop today.
I am thinking that the folks behind the counter really need to look more and spew stats less. I got the impression that they had no idea what a Nikon SE is and even when they looked through them...

Tried some 10x42 EL's, what is a good price?
I went to the local store and found that they had a pair of 10x42 EL's for $1769. They do not have the SV's in yet.
I brought my 8x32 SE's with me. I did not notice any difference except the EL's...
