Swarovski or Leica?

[dbllung]

I am getting ready to buy some new optics. I have narrowed it down between the Swarovski 15x56 and the new Leica 15x56 with built in rangefinder.

Any thoughts? I am kind of leaning towards the Swarovski because of their customer service...

Thanks,

John

The Swarovski may be slightly sharper then the Leica because the built in laser rangefinder goes thru the optics and it deters ever so slightly the optical makeup of the binocular.
The other thing to keep in mind, whereas the Leica may be ever so slightly below the sharpness of the Swarovski, you do have the rangefinder in the Leica which is quite convenient.
I hope this helps you somewhat.

If there is anything else that I can assist you with please let me know.
