    SFL vs. Aurora...

    Hi, Anyone here own both or have experience handling and using both the Leica Ultravid HD Plus and the Nikon EDG II?

    Long term quality...Leica or Swarovski

    Thanks, I don't like how Swarovski "downgraded" the EL, with now 10.8 feet close focus and NO more field bag, what a shame!
