So far the Zen Ray 8x43 HD's have easily beat the Leica 7x42 BN's. I sold the Leica's. Now tonite I compared the Zen Ray's to my Nikon 8x32 LXL's for about an hour and the Nikon's came out a distant loser. The Nikon's are not even close to the Zen's! I like having a more compact pair of binoculars but it has me thinking about selling the Nikon's. The Zen's are that superior. The only binocular that holds a candle to the Zen's are my Nikon 8x32 SE's and in some ways the view of the Zen's is superior to the SE's! They are THAT good. The Zen's FOV is so huge and they are so sharp it makes for an amazing view. Dennis</blockquote>
