I have an older set of BN Leica binos and if you Leica owners have the same strap that comes with them, be sure to sew or tie the connection together better than relying just on that little button through the slit at the ends of the strap to hold them. The wife dropped mine on the concrete when the strap let go. No damage, but you have never heard a more sickening sound than your binoculars hitting the driveway.

My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
