Looking at some rangefinder binoculars, heard good things about Leica Geovids, anyone know how they compare to the Zeiss RF range??

seen a debate on ukvarminting bout these 2 binos.... apparently new zeiss ones are the ones of the moment but then again remember geovids been out for wee while now and zeiss just upped things a bit leica may have summit "better" in the pipeline for near future.

 

v-max on here has geovids and i look thru em regularly and they are good low light and rangefinder on em never misses a beat

Had a chat with leica the other day and they are releasing the "HD" version for the geovid's they say better colour perception, low light use improved but it all comes at a price increase.... i asked but got no answer so its a wait out ...

hehehehe beat me to it Nimrod, i was just coming on to post this too.....heard exactly the same but canna get a price.........

 

have heard that they are now at least equal to the new zeiss models

As far as i know there is a "switching " option i.e. from metric to yds and a ballistic feature ( got to key in a code which equates to the calibre your using) gives the hold over distance...... just another thing to faff about with lol Had a look through the zeiss at a game fair last year very good, but the wife does not see it that way... needless to say there on hold

Leopold ones are ok my mate has one but i use the leica 800 lrf, they dont make these ones any more its 900`s now but buy quick because the prices are going through the roof £400 plus! Its defo a cheaper op than the geovids and they fit in your pocket
