"Huge" ? Well then I'd avoid the Swarovskis like the plague, particularly the EL's.
Leica has had some less than good attitudes about honoring their warranties in the past. But Doug at Cameraland, NY, has had great success in getting the very few that have had such issues resolved.
Which is another point. Very few Leicas ever need repairing, even when used hard. That's because Leica researches and tests their designs extensively before releasing them. Last I heard, Swarovski still hasn't fixed their fogging problems. E
E, your same old, Swaro bash seems to continue, I thought
that changed along with your new forum name, not sure what
is going on with that.
Leica has had trouble with waterproofing, and the Allbinos
binocular endurance test found they often leak. They performed
worst among any binoculars they tested. This included both the
Ultravid and Geovid, and the results were disappointing.
That test was from 4-30-13, so go take a look.
If you want to bash Swaro. your story has grown old.
