They do get discussed on Optics Talk such as this thread, which you posted to, though not about Leicas.  <a href="http://www.opticstalk.com/leica-ultravid-hd-vrs-zeiss-victory-binos_topic32751.html" target="_blank">opticstalk.com/leica-ultravid-hd-vrs-zeiss-victory-binos_topic</a>Here's another one, stephen b. liked the 8x32 Ultravid better than the Swaro CL, Steve C. (Klamath) liked the CL better. Jerry's on this thread, too, and even Dennis is mentioned! (you can "google" more results from Optics Talk and 24hrcampfire)<a href="http://www.opticstalk.com/swaro-cl-8x30-or-leica-ultravid-8x32_topic30782.html" target="_blank">opticstalk.com/swaro-cl-8x30-or-leica-ultravid-8x32</a>I have no doubt that in the premium class, Swaros are the most popular among hunters who can afford them, but I suspect that in certain circles, call them gentlemen hunters, Leica does have its fans. What made me think of this was a recent feature in Car & Driver. It showed the states where cars that C&D recommends sell the most. I don't have the issue in front of me or I would give you some examples, but suffice it to say, that the Mazda 3 and the BMW 3 series are not most popular in the same states. My point being that your experience with hunters in your state or even those traveling to your state to hunt might be different than that of other guides in other states.  bp</blockquote>
