Finally clicked into place with UVHD Pluses (and still love SLC)
That is exactly what I just did, and the results were beyond my expectations. Our 10x32 BN had suffered a fall and while it showed no visible damage, the diopter had to be maxed out (to "-", is that predictable?) to get a neutral setting. Not only is that now recalibrated, the overall... -

What do you think is going on, and has it ever been serviced? Some here say they fiddle with diopters all the time, others never do. What I find is that a diopter is set and forget on most bins (like SLC 56, FL 32, BN 32) while my SLC HD 42 occasionally requires tweaking. So much for that... -

Well, going back a month to the OP... I just got the BN 10x32 back from Leica (it took six weeks), set the diopter which is now nearly centered again (though slightly "+" when others go a bit "-") and took it out to view my usual test targets. When I did this previously BN's central... -

I have experience with only one FL now (10x32, but a good direct comparison to the BN) and agree that it seems sharper centrally. It also shows considerably less CA. As to overall image, it seems a bit less warm and contrast/saturation is a bit lower, which can actually look more natural in... -

Congratulations. I wish I could experiment now with the diopter on our BN but it's in New Jersey getting recalibrated after being knocked well off. (Still I always set a diopter visually, never by its scale.) So now we have to ask: (1) what's different about Leicas that you've only had this...
