I went green, could not turn down the price for this 8X42, still comparing it to my other 8X42s, I seem to prefer the 42 format to the 32s these days. Initial impression is that the HD Ultravid has a bit better brightness, the view in these is a bit behind shall we say, but do provide great contrast. I have no idea if they contain the same prisms as the UVHD. Nevertheless, it is a nice light glass about 80-90 grams less than the UV and the EDG, slightly more than the MHG.
These were produced in 2016, did not come with the objective covers, just the case. I have ordered a set of green covers from Leica since the new 2017 models came with the covers. I am also going to put a more functional strap on these, the leather ones can be used on my older Kerns.
