A couple of us went to the local sporting goods shop the other day and checked both out..Leica and Swarovski...it was later in the day and light was fading..our group felt the Leica was the brighter of the two and crystal clear resolution. I realize our test was probably not based as accurately as was done for this article..but that was the consensus among us..

Have a friend who has a pair..plan to grab them for a couple days and compare with my EL Swaro's..but may be a bit unfair as my current pair are 8 years old..

In addition the article I read in another publication stated both buttons on the Leica were the same size..on the pair we tested one was noticeably smaller than the other..so assuming they made a modification on that since they first came out..
