Just in case if any of us needed a spare one. I answer your question saying I would, if forced, to take the Habicht for a lifetime in an isolated island...In spite the HT is SLIGHTLY better in optics, I have tested the Habichts, very old not sealed, and new ones, to KNOW they are built to last forever....!But, really, if the HT was the only one at hand, I would be very happy too...! Having had the Leica BA for years (before the FL), and used  daily for work and in hunts in Patagonia, I feel the HT is also a very tough and well built binocular. Very well designed, indeed, and for me, the most confortable binocular to use! As are the Porro Habicht!Best RegardsPHA</blockquote>
