If you had to choose between the Leica Trinovid 8 X 32 BN and the Nikon 8 X 32 SE which would you recommend ? (also taking into consideration that the Leica would cost me almost 40% more but can be afforded)

Pinewood said:Leif,
Actually, watertight integrity is good for more than an occasional swim: it might be just the ticket for monsoons, swamps and jungles. I have had difficulties with fungus in optics, without ever visiting the tropics. Did you ever come in from the freezing cold and have your binoculars or specs fog?
What might be going on inside the binocular?
I was very fortunate in purchasing my 8x32 BN. It was a clearance of a model in red, which Leica test marketed and then dropped.
Happy birding,
Arthur Pinewood
Probably the most likely reason for your Leica preference.Faith said:...(admittedly not the ones mentioned above)...
