Leica binoculars

I got them they had a little scratch on them and for 2700 they should?ve have had one but there nice but scratch sucks

Side by side I compared these Leicas to the Zeiss Victory HT 8x42, and the Swarovski 8.5x42 EL Swarovisions.
Let's just say it took me NO time to pick the Swaros.

Zeiss was the brightest by a small margin, but the sharpness fell off near the edges, and chromatic aberration was also noticeable at the edges. They also had the worst ergonomics of the 3.

The Swaros were astonishingly scalpel-sharp to the edge and I saw no chromatic aberration even at the edges when looking at a thin dark tree branch in front of a bright mid day sky.
They fit perfectly in my hands and the angle of the eyecups matched the anatomy of my eye sockets so they just melted into my body and disappeared.
The view is absolutely 3D with wonderful depth of field.

The only thing I preferred about the Leicas was their smaller size.
There's nothing 'wrong' with them ... till you look through the Swarovski.
The Leica's edge sharpness and chromatic aberration was inferior to the Swaros.
I also read a pro review you can google up, in which two Leicas failed the water proof test.

Sorry, I realize this review sounds like a Swaro ad, but my personal experience quickly told me there really is no reason to buy the Leicas, except for the lower price and they are shorter.

Good, but not the best

For my uses size is an issue. The smaller the better and for 10x25mm these are are very bright, clear and contrasty. They work so well with glasses that I usually will keep my polarized sunglasses on and enjoy the benefits of polarization. (This is a really great feature)I do use special care since the front glass is very close to the end of the barrel and the came only with caps for the rear glass.
