You're telling me that the Geovid R's are Leica's best glass with a rangefinder for under $1800?

I'm glad you're happy with your optics, but no, I'm not "Blown Away" by the difference between the top tier alpha glass and the 2nd tier stuff. Don't see that much difference.

I said that Leica HD flourite glass is some of the best, along with Victory (FL HT, SF) and Swaro SLC HD/swarovision. If you don't agree, well, sorry.
Frankly, for that price point nothing else compares with the HD-r.

The Geovid HD-R utilize the same lenses as the ultravid HD.
And they are the best Rf out there for less than $1700...

That's $700-800 less that the cumbersome "B" model--both in demo form.

Zeiss conquest HD glass is fine for it's price point, but if you can't see the difference behind those and a pair of flourite alphas glassing thick country all day long, I'm wasting my time here.

Have you ever even owned a pair of alpha binoculars with HD lenses?
