These two bins share several characteristics. Katmai first, Traveller second
Field of View: 8.1°; 8.1°
Minimum Focus: 1.5m; 1.5m
Eye Relief: 19.2mm; 19mm
Interpupillary Distance: 57-72mm; 57-71.5mm
It seems likely that they're clones produced in the same factory. The Katmai which is a quite attractive design, is only available in this country at approximately twice the US price. The Traveller can be had for only about £30 more than the US price of the Katmai, which is not bad for the UK, but it's a sinfully ugly design.
Has anyone used one or both of these? Does anyone disagree (or agree) with my aesthetic assessment? How is Leupold pronounced? Is it lee-oh-poled, lay-oh-poled, lew-poled or loy-poldt?
