I've had 5 Leicas over the years and found the focus excellent in every one of them. I think I encountered one pair in a shop once that was a bit notchy, not exactly an epidemic.To me Leica gets it right. A very quick action, light feeling (read: not heavily damped like many others), and consistent hot and cold. I currently have 8x32 BNs and 7x42 BRs and the Ultravids are the best focusing bins I've ever used, regardless of brand. I should add that nothing else snaps to focus as quickly and positively as a Leica, to me. This is an attention to detail that makes for a great birding bin IMO.</blockquote>
