Sorry for yet another thread, this will be it, I remain the thrilled new guy to Leica who needs some help.
So I am the exceedingly happy owner of an 8X42 set of UV HD Plus, as well as an Ultravid 8X20 so I constantly have something in the pocket. Now, as we prepare to go overseas, we'll get a pair of UV HD Plus for each of us. We are pulling the trigger now because of the trade show Leica units still being sold on line.
Since we have the 8X42's, we have the second pared down to either the 7X42 or 10X50 (10X42's are out because we do not want to go lower than 5 on the exit pupil diameter).
On the one hand we feel the 10X50 will be an excellent companion power to the 8X42 when we need that extra pull with the almost-same exit pupil diameter as the 8X42. On the other hand, the 7X42 is so bright and crisp, so easy to use, big FOV, needs much less focusing, and in a smaller form factor and half a pound lighter.
Thanks for your help!!!
