    Leupold Gold Ring HD 8x32 versus SV 8x32

    I bought it used, its actually 7x36 not 35mm, its Japan made, similar I think to the old Opticron and Helios HR line, a bit old school with lots of distortion and small sweet spot but very sharp in the centre and reasonably bright with a touch of yellowing to the colour. There`s an 8x42 one...

    Very much, back when I picked up my 550***SE I was able to put it alongside a 32mm SV, which for me is the only roof that`s comparable, doubt the chance will ever come my way to try a Gold Ring. I`m looking for a top 7x42, my Opticron was good but fell at the fov hurdle, I`m actually leaning...

    Leupold Gold Ring HD 8x32 versus SV 8x32
