Leica Ultravid 8X42BR.

I noticed in Autumn Watch that Bill Oddie was now using Swarovski 's rather than Leica's

I think he was an adviser to Leica at one time.
Now I wish he'd buzz off as he gets on my nerves
And not because he uses another make of bino

I nodded off a fair bit during Autumnwatch but the Swarovskis were in evidence again. Last month, we went on a Johnny Kingdom safari and I spent 3 hours sitting next to the guy in his 4WD as we searched Exmoor for deer. As it was pi**ing with rain (real horizontal stuff) most of the time, we only saw a few brown blobs on the other side of various valleys. Johnny wasn't too impressed with my Trinovids and kept giving me his pair of Swarovski 8.5x42s to use. Very light but not optically superior to the Leicas, in my opinion. Nice strap, though.
