Tough call. Ask 100 people, get 100 different answers. Some will depend on whether you want 10x or8x. As far as the Leica, or the Swaro optically......uh, toss a coin? Some like Leica's view, and some Swaro's view. I love my Leicas, but haven't looked through the slc yet.

Jim, 8x with wider FOV is better for close-in, tighter situations. Less handshake. Better exit pupil for dusk and dawn. 8x usually has better eye relief, if you wear glasses. Edited by Bird Watcher - December/15/2008 at 19:39 |

Get the 8x42 Leica and don't worry, be happy. That will be quite a nice Christmas present.

I agree with anweis, 8x42 Leica, if those 2 are the only options. I like the lower power, larger ep, wider FOV. That is just me.

8X42 Leica, but I would always choose 8X over 10X.
