    Leica Ultra HD Plus 8x32 vs 10x32...eye relief?

    I found the eyecups too short on the UV 8x32 I tried (I don't wear glasses and I had significant blackouts), which was disappointing as it would be an excellent travel bin for me. But recently I looked online at images of both bins and the 10x32 seemingly has longer eyecups (although I'm not...

    Ultravid 7x42 HD+ vs Noctivid 8x42

    Ultravid 7x42 HD+ vs Noctivid 8x42

    I own a 8x42 Trinovid (2012-2015 model) and love it. But it's time for an upgrade. I'm set on Leica, big fan of the view and build quality, and I want the best they have to offer. That would seemingly be the Noctivid, although before that came along the general consensus seems to be the Ultravid...
