Just curious if anyone has handled this binocular yet? Can get them at a decent price, looking at getting them for a gift! Bryce...
Something is confusing to me about the 8x32 BX-3; looking at Leupold's site, they list the Linear FoV at 420ft/1000yd; Cabela's and BHPhoto, however, list the LFoV at 366ft/1000yd. Given that my BX-3 8x42 have a 368ft LFoV, I find it odd the 8x32 would have only 366.
Has anyone here had their hands on these yet?
I picked up a pair of 8x32's at the local Cabelas. First impression was good but I had a question about the focus travel past infiity. There seems to be nearly 1/2 turn extra on these. I don't know if this is typical or not since the only other Leupold Binos I've owned are the Yosemites. It seems like a lot of extra travel to me as my other glasses go between 1/8 and 1/4 turn past infinity.
I will chime in a little.
These rock!
For the money Steve was spot on!
My wife preferred the Zeiss Terra 8x42! But, what does she know?!
Lol, I just won't show her this post!!!
I need to work these out a little more but, I'm more than impressed.

OK, I hope the doghouse has internet connection. Otherwise we might not hear from you for awhile . FWIW I preferred the Mojave to the Terra as well.
Keep us posted.[/QUOTE
I had a chance to use these a little more.
Although, these are my nitpicks. I don't care for the design, when I say design I'm not talking eergonomics.
The battle star Galactica, spaceage graphics gotta go!
I'mnot privy to the diopter arrangement?
Just feels cheap to me.
That aside iI cannot fault them.
They are very sharp.
The contrast and color presentation remind me of the gold ring HDS.
Although they lack the brightness and vividness of the the gr HD.
To me in such a compact binocular distortions are handled excellent.
I get nice round, clear exit pupils.
This and the Zeiss Terra I got both for for under $300 have to be the best optics purchases I have ever made.
Really recommended, highly recommended don't think for the money either of these can be beat?
A lot of glass for the money if I wasn't so obbsesive I would be more than content with either,ppreferably both!

Bryce,
What did you mean about not being privy to the diopter adjustment?
