Out of all the binoculars I've ever had, and I've had a few, I have never seen views of Jupiter and Saturn like them, tack sharp !Build quality was awesome, really felt like a top of the range pair of bins which would last a life time.Only thing which annoyed me was the weight and the slightly reduced fov compared to fixed magnification bins.Would like to get another pair but am not prepared to put up with the weight.At the moment Leica seems to be adding HD lenses to their range so if they do the same with the duovids plus change the housing from aluminium to magnesium, or do something else about the weight, I'll be looking to get hold of a pair.Tim</blockquote>
