I did a side by side analysis of the Swarovski and The Leica some back. I have owned them both since they were introduced. The long and short of it:
The rangefinder reads farther with the HD- B
Optically I see no advantage to either
The rangefinding button is easier to use with the HD-B
The HD-B is on the extreme end of size
I have the HD-B now but when Swarovski comes out with their next model, I will be a buyer. The HD-B was a disappointment, I was expecting more.
It will also be harder to sell the Leica, they never turn as fast as a Swarovski. I am sure I will have to take a big hit when that time comes...
Shrapnel:
How is the view on the Swarovski? Is the the sweet spot as large as on the EL SV's (in focus to the edge, or a very large sweet spot)?
