I have been a Nikon fan for many years because I have several binoculars and scopes made by them. Really love my Nikon EDG 8x42 that I have had since 2011. But unfortunately I have some issues with a creeping diopter and some play in the focus wheel. Not much, but it is irritating. The rubber armoring is also loose. Today I talked to some Nikon guys about service on my old Nikon EDG, but they told me that maybe they can not fix the issues because the may not have the spare parts needed for it. In worst case they do nothing..or just would give me a pair of the cheeper Nikon Monarch HG 8x42 instead. Sad, because I really like my Nikon EDG and think they are very comfortable for my eyes. Now I have decided to give Leica my money, so today I bought a new pair of the Noctivid 8x42. They are not so easy on the eye as the Nikon EDG, but the Noctivid is really sharp, has good colors and are brighter than the EDG. I hope they will be fine.. 🙂
