So, ever since getting the Leica UVHD+ 7x42 a few weeks ago (my 1st premium bin), I keep wondering what else could I like as much as it? And believe it or not, out of the 6 binoculars I own, none are an 8x42.... So I NEED one, right?
Since I much prefer a 3D like view vs. a flatter view I've been drawn to comments/reviews on the SLC 8x42. I believe they were discontinued in 2020 and no longer available unless used, or go with Kahles. At least that's what I thought...
It got me interested, so did a quick internet search to see if there were any good used deals. To my surprise I found one that said new and in stock... My assumption was it's an error being listed as "In Stock". However, I submitted my order anyway to see what would happen. My assumption was correct! I was redirected to a page that said they are "Out of Stock". End of story...
Or was it?
The next day I received a confirmation email for my order, and the following day a shipping confirmation. I went back to the website, and no longer could find the SLC 8x42 for sale. Did I get the last one? Did they ship something else? Did I get scammed?
2 days later I received a brand new SLC 8x42... Wow. Looks like after all I did NEED an 8x42... and I do like it as much as my UVHD+ 7x42
