 "Not durable enough!" 2010-07-02
By J. Watson
I agree with most everything the previous reviewer said, however, I have a beef with the durability of this product. A year ago while on a trip to Costa Rica, they fell off my belt on to a well-padded thick carpeted floor while still in the case. This was enough to mess up the focusing mechanism such that it was beyond what the diopter adjust could fix. So for the rest of the vacation, I was forced to look at birds and animals with one eye!



Leica has a lifetime warranty, but return shipping is only covered for the first 4 years. I was beyond the 4 year limit, so I had to send in $35 to cover the return postage. I sent them for repair in June 2009 and got them back, but they still weren't fixed! I sent them back (this time Leica covered the postage both ways), and got them back fixed this time (I thought). Now, less than a year later, they have the exact same problem without any dropping incident. They are even in a much more padded case which I got after the first problem. Since I can't trust these binoculars, I bought a pair of compact Nikons (Nikon Premier LX-L 8x20 Binoculars) that I'm pleased with. I sent the Leicas for repair today ($15 to send them to New Jersey plus the $35 to get them back). We'll see if they can get it right this time.



Update: Got the binoculars back (July 30, 2010), still not fixed correctly. Sending them back for the 4th time in a little over a year.



Update: Aug. 12, 2010. This time they replaced them with a brand new pair! About time!

 "Best of the crop" 2008-08-05
By Andrew Macfarlane (Miami, FL USA)
Compact binoculars are always a compromise compared to full size binoculars, with small exit pupils that make using them fiddly and which compromise the low light viewing. On the upside, you can always have binoculars with you. I've had the Zeiss Conquest/Classic version of the 8x20, and by comparison the Zeisses are lighter, just as compact, and have a horizontal belt pouch that is a little less obtrusive to wear and easier to get the bins in and out of. The Leicas have better (especially brighter) optics, a better focus and diopter arrangement, longer eye relief, and easily adjustable eyecups as opposed to the stiff, roll-down cups on the Zeisses. I can see the whole field of view with my glasses on through the Leicas, the only compacts I've tried that I can say that about. The Leicas also have ocular covers which I at first thought were ridiculous but have come to find very useful at keeping the oculars clean, especially since the bins ride upright in their belt case. On the whole I give the Leicas the edge, but it's not a one sided comparison. If I were counting every ounce and didn't wear glasses, I'd probably prefer the Zeisses.



FWIW, I've also owned the Leica trinovid 10x25s, Zeiss Classic 10X25s, Redfield 8x25 compacts and B&L 7x26 custom compacts, as well as the much larger Leupold Katmai 6x30's. These are, overall, the best and most compact compact bins I've owned. For what they cost, they had better be.
