Hello SeldomPerched,
my point is that the optical innovations between the individual Leica models are too small or only marginal!
Of course there are always discussions about it and everyone has their own assessment, but I don't think that much has happened at Leica since the Trinovid BA / BN in the optical field.
Yes, there are always minor improvements, but in my opinion the big hit was never made.
I also find the color rendering of the Leica's very nice, but what always bothers me is the almost notorious chromatic aberration that I found annoying in all Leica models, but I'm also very sensitive on this point.
The Nikon EDG are binoculars that are very similar to Leica's in terms of color rendering, but here chromatic aberration is much better minimized.
However, it is important to note that I am originally from astronomy. Therefore, of course, I prefer binoculars with a field that is as flat as possible, even if I observe during the day, there may also be a reason that I can not do so much with the Leica's!
Ultimately, it is most important that the user of a pair of binoculars is ultimately satisfied, whether it is Leica, Zeiss, Swarovski or any other brand therefore remains secondary, everyone has different visual priorities and that's a good thing!
I therefore wish you continued fun with your Leica.
Andreas
