I did not bring the Bushnell's with me. ZR apparently will not resell back into Asia so I have not seen their interpretation of the ubiquitous ChinBin. I had hopes for some new Fujinon roofs I saw at the show but on close inspection they are just a big yawn. My enthusiasm for the Bushnell Legend Ultra HD is because at ~$200 I think they set a new benchmark for an NAME BRAND, ULTRAWIDE ANGLE binocular that maintains decent eyerelief and with ED glass and hydrophobic coatings as the cherry. Plus they are throwing in a nice accessory package including a fleece camo jacket as extra's too. Even if ZR can match these optical specs and accessory package with a new bin, their lack of brand recognition would require at least a 50%+ price reduction over the Legend to get my attention. Simple as that. Rick</blockquote>
