I don’t think my own experience is wide enough to volunteer, but please see below.May I suggest that they do that and then if they wish comment on other variables.One I have noted, or imagine Ihave noted, is “teleporting”, for want of a better word, which I have felt with Nikons. By this I mean that typically other makes of binocular “bring it to you” while Nikons “take you there”!My main, and pretty much only, binocular is a Leica Ultravid 10x25, chosen over the corresponding Nikon for its smaller bulk and weight, after using Nikons for decades.Because of an obsession with smallness, I have sacrificed “field” for the other two parameters.</blockquote>
