I had two CRF 1200's and they both sucked. At least back then Leica responded with a replacement unit, which is why I had two. Pretty embarrassing when you have to borrow a paying antelope hunter's Tasco/Simmons RF to finish a hunt.

Yeah, I don't blame you for being turned off of Leica after all that. My warranty experience with this Geovid was less than stellar, but not as bad as yours from the sound of it.

Can't speak directly to those two rangefinders, but my Leica 2700B is definitely better than my Kilo 2000.

I bought my Leica from Doug because if it goes down I know I can rely on Doug to "motivate" Leica. And that's the only way I would currently buy a Leica product.

That's what I did, too.

Yea if I find a Leica 2700 for $499, it’ll be in the mail to Alabama right quick. Where are you guys finding that price? Got a link by chance?

Yeah, wish someone would find a link and post it rather than just saying Doug or Cameraland. And yes I know what that site is.

If I ever get sold on the bino/rf all in one unit I'll buy the (gasp!) Vortex 5000 AB and be done with it.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

How does the 2800.com and 3500 compare to the 2700b? Worth the premium?

The 2700B is no longer available. It did not have the Bluetooth or Kestral connectivity
