Dunno mate! Dude claimed the laser beam goes to target and then rebounds back to the unit (for reading) and 'BAAAM', you're screwed if you look at it without this special coating! I ain't sure of anything!

I'm pretty sure "eye safety" depends on both the wavelength and the transmission power..

There are apparently some old Russian mil units out there that reach 35km but aren't exactly eye safe..

The last thing they ever saw, you reckon?

Real world difference will probably be loose ability to see clearly at 2105 instead of 2108hrs

Schitt, you've just put me off buying them!

Also remember that putting a read out in the field of view also affects the optics, If you want the very best than stick with straight top of the line bino's but like I said before - most people won't notice any difference Zeiss, Lecia or Swavo's they are all grouse

i have a pair of Leica geovids hd-b 10x42. i know there better then my brothers minox HG 10x43, slightly crisper, the leicas work well way past 800plus yards, but from what i know the new ultravid hd are slightly clearer, i personally cant tell the difference but in the price range, would i buy a new set or hd-b's agen?................. nope not unless they were under $4000.

Thanks for that. What did you pay for yours?

mine were an insurance replacement to a guy, who at first was told they weren't covered, so he went out a got a new pair, then he was told he would get a replacement pair and could not get a pay out so ended up with two pairs. i think i paid $3800 for them off him, it took me 3 weeks to decide weather or not to buy them, the bloody things are worth more then my current car haha but i should never have to buy anther pair of binos or a rangefinder ever agen............... I hope............

Oh, you got a good deal cobba, the cheapest I've seen them is $4,400, 'Hunting and Thieving' have got them listed in their latest catalogue for about $4,870, I believe! At the price you paid for them, you can afford to give an honest testimony!
Thanks.
