If you are in the market for some high performance binoculars then check out: http://betterviewdesired.com/ The upper end Pentax binoculars are of extremely high quality and the Nikon Superior reviewed are no slouch either. One benefit of the Leica set is superior close focusing and somewhat lighter weight. Also, see: http://www.birding.com/Binoculars.asp I am referring you to the birder sites as birders tend to be the most demanding users: wide field, high resolution, low chromatic aberration, no eye strain, close focuse, high contrast, no/low flare.

He intimated that it's the same with their 35mm camera lenses. Is this really true, or was the salesman stretching the truth? --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
