I'm currently in Sugar Creek, Ohio for some personal business with my son. Beautiful country, Amish farms, country stores - everything just amazing and very different than my home state of NM. My son and I were driving around the countryside and stumbled across a little optics store out in the middle of nowhere called Time & Optics. We went in and they had every high end binocular - Zeiss SF, FL, HT, Leica Noctivid & UVHD+, Swaro ELs, Nikon HG and also a few pairs of used Nikon Premiers 8x32 and EDG 8x42. It was crazy how much inventory they carry.
I've been wanting to get a pair of 8x32 high end binos and now was able to try out every pair I have been researching. We tried out every 8x32 from Zeiss (FL and SF), Leica UVHD+, and Swaro EL. After a couple of hours of trying them out, I liked the ELs the best. It was simply amazing to be able to try all of them out at the same time outside of the store, but the best part was my son surprised me by buying the ELs for me as a retirement gift (retired last week). WOW...what a day.
