Last year at the Birdfair at Rutland Water I tried out a set of Leica's. To say they were good would be an insult. They were brilliant, clear, bright and very, very sharp. I was very impressed. Slight catch £1440 if I recall.I suppose if I had that amount of cash spare I would love a pair, but I simply don't and could not think of a reason for spending that money on a pair.I suspect that some people have simply made the choice to have a set and to hell with the cost.I have just added to another thread that I have 6 sets of binoculars. Wonder if the total cost of those 6 comes close to the cost of one very good pair?</blockquote>
