I’ve had 2 of the 10x42’s, crisp image not quite as bright as some other similarly priced binos. One item of note, lense coatings on my pairs were some of the easiest to scratch I’ve ever experienced. Had to really baby them, same with VX-5 scopes. Credit to Leupold, my second pair was a free replacement due to scratched ocular lenses. I have never experienced anything remotely similar with other quality optics or older Leupold products.
