lurcher,

I am assuming you are trying to compare the Leupold Wind River Mesa 8x42 Porro's to the Leupold Wind River Olympic 8x42 Roof's?  If that is the case, In my opinion you will see a dramatic difference between them, with the Olympic's being a much better binocular.

Hello Jon, what do you think of the Nikon Superior E 8 x 32 versus the Nikon LX Venturer 8 x 42?  I know the Venturer is waterproof, and the SE not but don't know if the image from the venturer is as good as the Superior E which I have tried.  Jimmyp
