      Well,I've had an opportunity to try Leitz binocular 7x42 that was made in late '60s.It's trully spectacular how clean and sharp view is in such old technology.No wonder why today's model costs about 2000 euros.

    One product made like this care and attention to the detail never be cheap, but the price of nowadays Leica Digital is prohibitive.

    Shame that Leica no more repair or support this beautifully and well made cameras.

      Well some products are made in Portugal and some are made in Wetzlar - the quality is the same since they are in Portugal for over 40years... . The ultravid and Noctovid binoculars are made in Germany. The Trinovid and Geovid are made in Portugal.
      And btw. you don’t have to watch what the background says... . Leica is very Open about Theke Production plant and very proud of their Portugal Factory. They are doing a great job there ... .and in terms of Electronics they are especially good!

      Instead just save up money over the long term. Good things are worth the wait. Open up a savings account that you cannot easily tough and put away $10 per week and after a few years you can have one.
      A Zeiss Conquest can be had for as low as about $800 and they are top notch as well. $10 per week and in a year and a half you could have one.

      You have a 40% chance to drop those precious lenses wearing gloves.
      What's important is that; there should be no finger prints, smudges, etc on the front and back surfaces on the lenses and prisms, and no dust particles, as much as possible inside the instrument on its final assembly.
      My low-end binocular is very dirty inside, and the lenses are miles away behind compared to this Alpha category binocular.
