10x50 Binoc. Swarovski vs. LeicaPosted By Paul Gustafson |
Leica's service is excellent. Their lifetime Passport warranty covers everything. You can run over them with a truck or drop them off a balcony, send the remains in to Leica and they'll either repair or replace them. Never dealt with Swarov so can't compare.

26 Nagler T5 or 35 Panoptic?Posted By Paul Gustafson |
I owned both eyepieces and spent a lot of time with them in an apo of fl 1085 mm. The extra magnification of the 26 Nagler gives a darker background, better apparent contrast (I say apparent, since the different fl of the two eyepieces makes direct contrast camparisons based on ep design, glass, coatings, etc. useless). The 26 Nagler was clearly the better eyepiece for me.
Subjectively, the Nagler has a "feel" that is entirely different from the Panoptic. Hard to describe, but others have called it more "immersive" and that is as close as I've seen to what it feels like to me.
If at all possible, try both in your scope, decide based on what you see through the eyepieces. Eyes and brains differ, so you can't really rely on what someone else says about eyepieces (including me).

Awesome! I used to grow these, as well as species from S. Africa. They are unique plants. Great close-up!

Trying to better the Fujinon FMT-SX 16x70Posted By Paul Gustafson |
I agree with Mr. Harrington. After picking up the Zeiss 15x60's and spending a lot of time side-by-siding them with my Fuji 16x70's, I sold the Fujis.
I understand the price, but what do you refer to when you say they are smaller than what you'd like?

Contrast vs. BrightnessPosted By Paul Gustafson |
Just to complicate the matter, our visual system's sensitivity to contrast varies with the overall brightness of the image.
