My partner was given a pair of Nikon 8x32 LX for Christmas and I hate to admit this, but in a side-by-side comparison all Boxing Day against my 8x42 Ultravids the Nikons were equal in my £10 NEED test and better in edge sharpness, close focus and weight. Even in the dimmest twilight the difference was only a few minutes of marginally better seeing! Anyone fancy making me an offer for the Leicas as she won't swap with me!!!
Chris, I tried contacting via email, but your profile does not allow it. I'm interested in your Ultravid. Please email me :

It's amazing, Chris - you're not the first to say this kind of thing. The Nikon's have now been compared favourably against the Ultravids and the Swaros. Amazing - just shows that there is bias around of one kind or another as I've never seen them so very highly praised in a birding mag.

Sorry, I used the US model description - and yes, they are the 8x32 HG DCFs and coincidentally, Warehouse Express is where they came from. I asked Ace Cameras if they could provide at that price (they tend to price match) but said that was well below the price they would pay wholesale!
