    Iconic Leitz/Leica rivals to Zeiss Dialyt 7x42B/GA T* (P/P*)?

    Hi Canip, yes, of course you are right; I did know that but must have got tired! Actually it's hard to decide which gives me the better view and experience out of those two - UV and EDG - so I just enjoy them both, each at different times a bit like deciding which shirt to put on, if that...

    Iconic Leitz/Leica rivals to Zeiss Dialyt 7x42B/GA T* (P/P*)?

    Thank you for the info, Makl, especially about the 7x45 Design Selection/Night Owl. I didn't know anything much about them though I have seen them in a shop, used of course. Nikon still have supplies listed of the 7x42 EDG online (£1979 though!). I can confirm they have somewhere along the...

    Iconic Leitz/Leica rivals to Zeiss Dialyt 7x42B/GA T* (P/P*)?

    Arthur, very pleased to learn how the 7x45 Night Owl fits into the sequence. I have seen one on a dealer's shelf but didn't think to ask to look through it. I think maybe it looked a bit on the hefty side that day. All the best, Tom

    Iconic Leitz/Leica rivals to Zeiss Dialyt 7x42B/GA T* (P/P*)?

    Hello Arthur, I'm happy to hear this. I find that Zeiss 7x42 to be a dream to handhold, seemingly lighter than its actual weight. I actually find it more comfortable than most modern designs. I do like the Ultravid in its current form for 7x42 as well. Thank you for the tip off; I was just...

    Iconic Leitz/Leica rivals to Zeiss Dialyt 7x42B/GA T* (P/P*)?

    I often get the impression that a lot of knowledgeable birders would be happy if this had stayed as the still current range. Certainly the FL offerings are lamented as the last of classic Zeiss (personally I am not having a dig at more recent releases) while the Ultravids and ELs have each had...

    Iconic Leitz/Leica rivals to Zeiss Dialyt 7x42B/GA T* (P/P*)?

    Hi Alexis, based on what you've written I took a look at the 10x40 BG/ATP and the Trinovid Ultras. Got the impression that the 7x42 BG/ATP was in a league above the (earlier?) 10x40. Thank you; what you posted was enough to satisfy my curiosity. Talking of 'Swarovski came on with 7x42 and...

    Iconic Leitz/Leica rivals to Zeiss Dialyt 7x42B/GA T* (P/P*)?

    While confined to the house for a while I've been looking out from the windows watching the antics of young squirrels as well as blackbirds - the blackbirds seem to like holly berries: one wrenches them off while the other flits to and fro not far away in the background on the same tree. To...
