[QUOTE="NDhunter, post: 3580066, member: 74573"] I have some experience with Leica and Leitz. I have a 8x42 UV HD and a 8x32 BN that both have focusers that are good, no complaints with me. I also have a Leitz 10x40B, and its focus is very smooth, older design. From what I know Leica does not use grease to smooth the focuser, but they use Teflon to smooth things out. Teflon helps your fried egg slide right out of the pan with ease. If you want a smooth and slack free Leica, they offer 2 models that I find are very good, the 8x20 Ultravid and the current Trinovid 10x42 HD. The Trinovid HD is made in Japan as some have reported. That is good, as they know how to design and build optics without issues. Jerry [/QUOTE]
