I wanted a lighter pair of binoculars other than my 43 oz. LEICA 12x50s and the 8x42s fit the bill perfectly. They produce a clean and sharp image , and cause no eye strain when viewing during extended periods of time. Great glass for the money
Brought these for use at a hawk watch they are amazing. Now I can seen colors on the distance hawks and find them quicker. Too bad Leica discontinued this model. I can not seen how they could improve it!
These are hands down the best binos out there. Leica has always been the best in most experts opinion. They are crystal clear and feel great in hands. I want to buy another and keep in the box in case they are discontinued!!!!!!!
