G'Day Fella's,

Thanks for sharing those links Ripp.

For the past 20 ish years, I have only ever owned Leica bino's.
The main reason for this is, after a bit of time has passed, sitting around at the "Sundowner Lounge", I have issues pronouncing Swarovski!
Well......... in any manner that can be understood, by others at least.
Leica on the other hand, seems to cause me little or no issues.

All jokes aside, I have owned a pair of Leica 10x42 BA's and a Laser range finder for 20 ish years (still do).
Last year, I purchased a new pair of Leica 10x42's, with built in laser rangefinder.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Donuts!

We are so blessed with quality and options these days and at my age (62 today), I'm not able to see the difference between Swaro's and Leica optical equipment. They are both make Great Bino's!

Merry Christmas you lot and Best Wishes to you all, for 2019.

First of all --HAPPY BIRTHDAY...

Secondly, agree with your assessment... the only other binocular that comes close is Bushnell.. said no one ever..

A gentlemen told me a long time ago -Swarovski --think of it this way--you go skiing and you break a leg..you decide to never go skiing again..so basically you "swore off ski" --ing..ever again..

Same as if you need an ambulance you "call us" for Kahles... have never forgotten that... back in the day when I heard it pronounced by some as Swarski..


and YES--both are very very good---every eye is different..for my eyes, the Swaro's seemed just a shade clearer..but, that was before the latest Leica's come out..all I read, the new Leica's have the "magic"...

with the built in range finder, they are a dream come true no matter which brand you get..If I didn't have a pair on my last Ibex hunt, pretty sure I would not have gotten the game..running through the timber..hit the button --range--shoot..doesn't get much simpler than that..

Enjoy the Leica's ..

Merry Christmas

Ripp
