[QUOTE="ds, post: 20680, member: 3050"] David Smith, Are you in a hurry? I have a Newcon 7x50 with SPD in the post (I hope as it is payed for) from Binoculars Direct who were the cheapest I found at 749 USD who would export. I live in the Czech Republic but I am having the Newcons sent to the UK where a friend who has a Leica LRF 1200 and another person who has the Leica Geovid can compare them. I hope the Newcons will be in the UK in a week or two but I think it will be New Year before I get them. If you are not in a hurry I can post what my friends tell me. They like German glass so they won`t ham it up. There was mention of the Newcons in PS August 2004 magazine, the person said the Leica Geovids have a beam divergence of 4.5 feet wide x 10.8 inches in height at 1000 yards (1.5 x 0.3 Milirads). The Newcons have a beam divergence of 18 inches in width x 26 inches in height at 1000 yards (.8 x .5 Milirads). In other words the beam divergence is less with the Newcons. My own personal expectations are that I will be happy if the glass is better than the LRF 1200`s but obviously not as good as the Geovids (unrealist expectation) but I hope the laser will be at least as good as the Geovids if not better. For me the speed detector is useful, the perma focus system is not a problem also for me the LCD on the Newcons is not a problem but if you are hunting in low light the LED of the Leicas would be much better. If you are going to shell out for a Leica the Geovids are German but the LRF`s are made in Portugal (or at least the examples I have seen). The Newcons will be a bargin if they work as advertised. I have also played about with Bushnell 1000`s, the less said about them the better. david [/QUOTE]
