These days the ELs are used almost all of the time, having been through Leicas and Nikons too I really have convinced that these are the ones for me, I an't see me ever changing them. The 8x30 Es will not go either as they are stunning optically and were a gift from my wife. The 8x20 Ultravids have almost gone twice in the last few months, they are excellent but I give them so little use that it's getting tempting to replace them with something like the Opticron 8x25 Taiga and free up some cash. And I almost own it... I bought these off of Tero and got them sent to my brother who lives over in the States, he's still got them! I guess I'll see them when he next visit but I reckon he'll put a few miles on them first <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
