RE: Range finders ??
I'd recommend the Leica. They work extremely well are very visible, portable and relatively tough (keep in mind it is a fine optical instrument... no throwing or using as a hammer...LOL). I looked at a Swaro that was very nice also but I'll still take the Leica. The CRF1200 is about $600 (which is not bad IMO). The Swaro I checked out was over $900.
