On the upside, you can always have binoculars with you. I’ve had the Zeiss Conquest/Classic version of the 8×20, and by comparison the Zeisses are lighter, just as compact, and have a horizontal belt pouch that is a little less obtrusive to wear and easier to get the bins in and out of. The Leicas have better (especially brighter) optics, a better focus and diopter arrangement, longer eye relief, and easily adjustable eyecups as opposed to the stiff, roll-down cups on the Zeisses. I can see the whole field of view with my glasses on through the Leicas, the only compacts I’ve tried that I can say that about. The Leicas also have ocular covers which I at first thought were ridiculous but have come to find very useful at keeping the oculars clean, especially since the bins ride upright in their belt case. On the whole I give the Leicas the edge, but it’s not a one sided comparison. If I were counting every ounce and didn’t wear glasses, I’d probably prefer the Zeisses.FWIW, I’ve also owned the Leica trinovid 10x25s, Zeiss Classic 10X25s, Redfield 8×25 compacts and B&L 7×26 custom compacts, as well as the much larger Leupold Katmai 6×30′s. These are, overall, the best and most compact compact bins I’ve owned. For what they cost, they had better be.

   8 of 8 people found the following review helpful Ideal for compact or spontaneous birdwatching. Great for many other uses due to size., November 8, 2010 By sillyDUCK – Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?) This review is from: Leica 8×20 BCR/Black Ultravid Compact Binocular (Electronics) These are VERY SHARP optics, as befits the Leica brand. Couldn’t be better.I use them with the eyepieces pulled out, since I don’t wear glasses. Works well with sunglasses (pushed in), but I’d rather not have the shades on when viewing.I used them to resolve Jupiter’s moons(!), barely, when the giant planet was in opposition. This was quite a feat for them, and I had the advantage of knowing where the moons were before looking (website mapper). If not, I’m not so sure I could tell. Even so, for 8×20 binos, that says a lot.I usually use them to resolve markings on birds, and in this regard, it treats colors very accurately. They only start to get difficult when the sun starts to go down. On overcast days, I find no trouble using them.Grip is stable, feels very solid.My only “issue” is one that small-bino makers may not be able to fix; the focus knob can take quite a few turns to go from near to far focusing. It’s a minor concern.These binos may not be better than the top-of-the-line 8x40s, but they are surely best-in-class.
