I can only second what has been posted here. My own model being the 8x42. Two exceptions to a minor degree: There is still a bit of flare under very critical conditions. And, personally, I\'d have preferred much smaller ridges. They give me some irritation in normal use (i.e. without gloves). But then, the ridges on the Leica Trinovids irritated me to the point where I tried to reduce them. An attempt that lead to more instead of less irritation.
Being accustomed to a 8x32, I still need to become really comfortable with the larger size and weight. But that is not the fault of the FLs, as the other x42s would necessitate even more getting accustomed to.
