But it must be quickly said that with the 8x42 UVHD+ I exchanged for that issue was so small as to verge on insignificance.  I even posted a thread on this site asking if I should exchange them out at all.  Ultimately I just figured for $2K I didn't have to put up with any slack, but that pair would of probably given me a life-time of great service.At any rate, CameraLandNY swapped the pair out in a matter of days, and my overall experience with the UVHD+ in 7x42, 8x42, and 10x50 was excellent, I chose them over HT's, SF's, and SV's, and would do it again with all respect to those who chose others, and I upgraded in Feb to Noctivids.In the Noctivid I've seen ever-so-slight variance in focus wheel roll resistance, but the focus wheel's even action has been consistent and outstanding across the board.  My sample is small admittedly limited to five pair of which one is mine.Leica CS in New Jersey has been polite, responsive, and even had one of their techs call me in order to discuss an issue with me even though he was on the road traveling to a trade show.  I have also dealt briefly with the CS manager and the CS Sport Optics Administrator over the same issue all to complete satisfaction.  I'm not throwing shade on the folks who've had difficulties, it just tends to be the bad experiences that hit social media.</blockquote>
