    @ tenex, post 58: agree with you on most points, but just a thought - you mentioned the then recent war, too military looking and not comparing optical quality. Wouldn't most males have experience of top quality optics from the war porros have been asking themselves why they should settle for...

    Finally, a plausible answer to this conundrum of why manufacturers chose to produce roofs at higher cost due to increased complexity than the optically better porros - and market them as superior to the latter.

    What is this Gary Hawkins List from 2007? I seem to have come across this reference before. Presumably some sort of list for looking up Leica/Leitz serial numbers. But where can it be found? Or is it just for the initiated? Also, I was under the impressiopn the 7x35 was discontinued in 1984, so...
