Totally agree with all the above concerning the positives for the Leica 1200.I, as usual, bought mine just before the scan models came out, but other than just wanting the latest and greatest, have nothing but praise for the Leica. The only comparison with the Leica's that I have is compared to Bushnells. Probably not very fair, but I started with a Bushnell Legend, and the rangefinding capability of this unit does not even remotely compare with the Leica. Have not owned any other rangefinders, and after seeing the quality of the Leica, see no reason to.
