Shorebirder, you should be aware that the Leitz 8x20 is a relatively old product. Mine is 1063471, and I bought them in July 1996. I plan to have my sample serviced, it´s worth it because on a sunny day it is a pure pleasure and wow, this is just a decollimated sample.

Combine this with a 150m field of view and ease of view and you will just fall into the image like with few other binos. Nevertheless the sharpness is spectacular. The Zeiss design is many decades newer - but much inferior in usability and optical quality (I had 3 Zeiss for comparison.)! The ocular lenses of the Binuxit have about 4 times the surface of the Zeiss West. When comparing the Binuxit to a clean Zeiss West 8x30 (No.5xx xxx, non B) I was shocked how sharp, bright and neutral the Binuxit looked in comparison. Definitely one of the greatest binoculars ever! Leica could build this with modern glass and coatings and have a real stunner in their portfolio probably even beating my beloved Habicht 8x30. This is the very best vintage bino I have used.
