Thanks - nice review! I've never seen the 32mm one in person.

Nice review. It's interesting that you got the Zeiss classic rainguard to replace the stock one. I got the same rainguard to use on the Nikon EDG. For me, one piece rainguards, like Nikon SE and the Zeiss, are much easier and faster to put on and off. The only down side of the Zeiss rainguard is its weight. On the Leupold, it adds about 1 oz to an already heavy 32mm bin.

Had them out today. Darn they are good...
I took the pair I got from Twobits on an Audubon group outing on Saturday. It was the first chance I had to get them out in the field. To say I am happy with them would be the understatement of the year. I love them. It's my first and probably last pair of really good binoculars. They are all I hoped they would be.

The Leupold Gold Ring HD 10 x 32's are no slouch either. I had hoped to find a good condition HD 10 x 42 and, sensing that all that was available had seen some hard use in the hands of hunters,"settled" on a new old stock 10 x 32. I, too, am amazed by this binocular, and while the 32mm version is no doubt dimmer than its 42mm cousin with shallower depth of field, this binocular is still a delight to use in good light conditions and far better than I had expected.
