Zeiss 65mm vs. Leica 62mm (1 Viewer)

Anybody ever try the Zeiss 65mm Diascope against the Leica 62mm APO with zoom lens? If so, whaddaya think?

Yes - and I very much prefer the wide-angle view the Zeiss zoom offers. This can be very useful indeed when trying to locate a distant bird; the Zeiss shows about 50% more than the Leica zoom. That said, I do like the Leica's more faithful and contrasty image, which is similar to that given by the Nikon; in some light, the Zeiss can appear a touch less contrasty and sometimes have a very slightly yellow bias in comparison.
