Also, it would be nice to know some of the actual reps that are there.  One gets to know some of these folks after attending a few shows so it is interesting to know who made it this year.  I am with Lee on his questions.  1) Bob posted a new link in the Leica sub forum announcing the new Trinovid 8X32.  The brochure shows a FOV of only 372 ft.  Subsequent discussion questioned if this number is correct.  So, would you ask the true FOV  for the new 8X32 and might as well also verify the 342 ft FOV printed for the 10X32.  <a href="https://us.leica-camera.com/content/download/141002/2255009/version/22/file/Leica_SO_Datenblatt_Trinovid+32er+HD_0417_EN.pdf" target="_blank">https://us.leica-camera.com/content/download/141002/2255009/version/22/file/Leica_SO_Datenblatt_Trinovid+32er+HD_0417_EN.pdf</a>2)  There was a post a few months ago saying Nikon USA delayed releasing the new Monarch HG in the U.S. because Nikon USA was requesting some change to the model first.  Would you please check to see if that is correct, and if so, what is the difference between what is being sold now and what was introduced last summer in Europe.  3)  Are the Nikon reps contracted product reps or actual Nikon employees?Hope you are having a fun day today and the tent is back in full operation.Ted .... For what it's worth, Canon is listed as attending.  See the link in post #1.  I did notice at a show I went to that the Canon people were from the camera division and did not have much personal information on the binoculars.  It appeared they had some on display just as a courtesy to the optics group.</blockquote>
