How do the Zeiss Victory HT 10x42 compare?

Need some help...I have searched and read on some forums but want some input on this site.

How do the Zeiss Victory HT 10x42 binos compare to the same price binos such as Leica Ultravid 10x42 and Swaro EL 10x42s?

Would be nice if someone has looked through them all to give their opinion..thanks!

I got to check out all 3 brands at a bird watching seminar this early summer
Leica was far better and also cost a full $1000 more than the other 2 brands?? Swaro and Zeiss I coudnt see any difference in their BINOCULARS and the Zeiss were cheaper at $1100...

Those couldn't have been Zeiss Victory HT binos for $1100...

The Victory HT's are superb, I personally would place them as the brightest and best low light bino I have ever had the pleasure to look through. The others you mentioned are nice too as they are all pretty close in optical quality, but for my eyes the HT's are the best.

Good luck!
