What Doug said. 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.

Subject: [Leica] Leica glass and shadow detail
Was in Helix (Chicago, Illinois) and the salesman showed me some Leica
binoculars and he went on and on about the fact that Leica uses special
ingredients in the lens formula so that more shadow detail is picked up.
He intimated that it's the same with their 35mm camera lenses.
Is this really true, or was the salesman stretching the truth?
