Any of you guys have any experience between the two here: 10x50 Ultravid and the 10x50 Ultravid HD? I was wondering what the differences are and how much difference there is aside from the different glass. Would it be worth trading up from the older lifetime warranty to the new improved but less warranty bino? Thanks

There is not much difference between the two models. The HD is supposed to have ED glass and better CA control, but the original ultravid had low CA anyway.

Besides the FL glass, the HD supposedly has improved focus knob to make it smoother operating in response to customer complaints from the regular U-vid. It also has Leica's "Aquadura" water- repellent outer lens coating, like Zeiss's "LotuTec."
