Leica Geovid R 8x42 - Gen 2

The weight of these binoculars was spot on with the specifications no more no less. They are comfortable in the hand and have ample eye cup adjustment for almost anybody. The glass is very bright and clean and making the diopter adjustments was quick and easy. The range finding reticle appears in the right Barrel and is easy to see without blocking your view. The rangefinder is extremely fast and accurate as I compared it with my 2 other rangefinders. They were all within half a yard of each other. I wish I would have bought these last year. At a price point of $1,400 this is a true value. The light Gathering capability is impressive and I really enjoy the micro adjustment on the main focus wheel to get it right to your own personal sweet spot for viewing. I will be buying another set of these for my son in the next couple of weeks and this will be standard equipment for our bow hunts and rifle hunts from now on. I compared these to my Swarovski 10x56 SLC and they are so close you can't tell the difference. In low light and in the middle of the day they are all but identical. If you're on the fence about getting premium binoculars with a built-in simple rangefinder this is absolutely a no-brainer.
