New comparison testing
I took delivery today a set of Leica Ultravid HD + 7x42s. Over the next month or so I will pit them against my 7x42 SLC NEU. While I'm not a qualified optics expert but I have enjoyed Alpha Binocs from all of the big 3 for almost 20 years. We have a wonderful place to watch many kinds of birds... -

Can the geovids rangefinder binoculars be used for solely visual use?
I'm color blind and I use my Leica Geovids for range finding all the time. I couldn't use the other brands as I couldn't see the led. I had given up when a buddy and I went on a country ride and he had a new Geovid range finders Viola they worked for me also. He said to take them home for the... -

My wonderful spouse decided that she likes the SVs better. The 2010 8x32s were an upgrade for her when we bought this place. She had Leupold Yosemite 6 powers. They are quite good. The grandkids have taken them and a set of 8s over. I think I actually like the old ones better. Both are great. -

Jerry Thanks, yes i'm truly blessed. I'm back to being able to use both hands. When the weather gets better later this week I'll give them both a workout. I think the wife likes the SV model better. So far I can't decide. Brad -

I'm pretty inept at that kind of thing. I've never been able to post pics on any forum. When I get back from the hospital next week I'll see if my grandson can do it. -

At this time of year the birds get mad and yell at us when we're on the deck, Later when they get used to us they ignore us. Our residdent squirrel even puts up with us, although he doesn't like the terrier so much. The wife and I talked about the 8x32s tonight and at this point she can't chose... -

Very new here but really enjoying reading all the old treads and the new. I've been a fan of high end optics for almost 20 years. I've owned multiple sets from the big 3. Present project is typical of me. I will enjoy it and will gladly accept whatever my wife decides. I'm just happy she enjoys... -

This project is going to be more difficult than I thought. The 8x32 ELs are great and the ergos are better for me than the SV FP. 2 Bald Eagles put on a lovely show for us this afternoon. It was very nice to sit outside without a jacket. As it stands right now I won't sell either. -

Rangefinding binoculars anyone using them?
I use my Geovids to range thousands of times a year. They are 8x42 the ones with the open bridge and slightly curved barrels. They have been fantastic. I have 4 different swaros. The glass in the Geovids is actually quite good. Not as good as my ELs but still quite good.- bungart
