Rsm458Lott7x42 Leica binoculars
I have just ordered a set of these from Cabelas and was wondering what was everyones thoughts on them.

gr8fuldougThe 7x42 size is very overlooked and overall it really is the best binocular for everyday use.

jackfishI actually prefer the view from the Zeiss Victory FL 7x42mm to the Leica Ultravid 7x42mm BR. They are also $1350 with a rebate at Cabelas, but you must have gone for the Schnees. But, as I don't have the $1500+ to spend on either I can't take advantage of slight difference my eyes perceive. Congratulations on the purchase of some fine glass.

WMCCO-5Zeiss 8x42 FL here. I concur with jackfish on Zeiss quality and would add durability.
My old eyes put Zeiss and Leica well ahead of the others...great glass.
Best,
