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?


No I don't own and never have owned any Alpha glass. When I went to buy my last pair of bino's I looked through all the binos in the store, repeatedly, many trips. I never said I saw no difference, I said I didn't see much difference. i didn't say that the Leica fluorite lenses are not some of the best, just that it was so small a difference I couldn't justify spending 2-4x the price. I did spend all day looking through my Conquest HD's for a few weeks this past hunting season and I was very pleased with them.

Glad to hear you won't waste any more of you're time, hopefully you'll stop wasting mine also. I don't know if you're in too big of a hurry, lack reading comprehension or just a dumba$$ but for the third time I'm not asking about Geovid HD-R's, not asking about demo's.

I'm asking about the Geovid R model - look at the freaking links I posted! They're selling for less than $1800 brand new. You are going way out of your way to be an a-hole and don't have a freaking clue what the original question was. Maybe you should try and and calm down, take a few deep breaths.
