The best binocular bar none for this birder. I have purchased the 8x42 FL and tested all serious competitor products thoroughly before parting with my money. Previous binos were the Leica 8x42BN.
Staggeringly sharp, amazingly bright, perfectly neutral colour and a vivid high contrast image that beat all the other binos, even the Leica ultravids. My old Leica BN\'s just don\'t compare, looking dull and flat compared to the FL.
Focus wheel just the right size and friction is spot on for my needs, very smooth with no slack.
Nice grips on the body will be a boon in cold weather wearing thick gloves. Durable looking armour.
Highly recommended if you are looking for the very best image of the bird, but excellence doesn\'t come cheap.
