I see Leicas being used by birders in my area. Today I saw a guy with
a Noctivid...and there was me with my UVid. Leicas aren't the most popular, but
I see birders using them.
Interestingly, at the same spot today there were 3 of us with 7x42 (1 Leica, 2 Zeiss). I'd say I see more older model Trinovids and a good amount of Uvids in general. Today was the first Noctivid I've ever seen. I could've asked him if I could have a look, but I felt a bit shy about that and he was talking with others.
Last weekend I chatted with a woman with a new GPO bin...it's real nice looking in person.
p.s.
The bin tally at this one spot today:
4 Zeiss (2 Dialyt, 1 SF, 1 HT)
2 Swaro SV
2 Leica (UVid , Nvid)
1 Swift Porro
2 Nikon (Monarch, SE Porro)
