When I was googling pocket binos recently, I came upon some couple's outdoor blog whom Swarovski had actually sent a CL-P to evaluate. They thought everyone should have one and "recommended it without reservations"... I guess that's PR these days, but the photo below (viewed full size) will show why I doubt its value. Seen anything else amusing lately?
By the way, I finally tried an 8x25 CL-P the other day, and it is the nicest pocket bino I've seen, better made than the Zeiss. (As I'm sure Leicas are too, though they don't have an 8x25.) But I'm no longer interested, having concluded that if I'm too lazy to carry my usual 32mm, which is so much better and hardly larger, there's something wrong. And I'd probably be too lazy to carry the pocket one too!
