Norfolkman gone walkabout
I'm sure this has been done before so apologies in advance,
Having passed on an older 8.5x42 el and currently in the process of selling on an 8x32 fieldpro (which I didn't quite bond to in the way i'd hoped) I was all set to aquire a 10x42 el, however having handled recent el models the more I dislike the feldpro package and handling etc..also decided against a 10x as i'd miss field of view, brightness and hand holdability over marginal gains of extra magnification.
I recall reading how the leica colours are more saturated, vibrant and contrasty compared to what can appear washed out and flat in the swaro el's?
I haven't owned a leica binocular for many years since a trinovid 8x42 BN/8x32 BA and only very briefly handlded an ultravid 10x42 hd, with the current situation its impossible to try compare optics so looking to ask here instead!
My question is simple,
Does the ultravid hd+ provide a robust no nonsence alternative to the swaro el with compareble/better optics?
I still have concerns about aquiring a used leica re the non transferable warranty etc, having previously gone down the swaro route I never had this concern but lately I can't help think its time to break with tradition,
Your thoughts welcomed
Matt
