Leica geovid comparisons

[Vpowell]

I’ve seen some different comparisons of the Leica Geovids… I was hoping to hear what the differences are for the glass and clarity from the geovid 3200.com and the geovid R? Or are they the same glass? technology is just there for the 3200.com? don’t really care about the technology.
Thanks

Bump I’m in the same market shopping for one.

After a ton of research, I bought the HDR Type 403 (used). I was told (by the company) 2015-on is the same glass. I don’t know for certain that’s true, but I cannot tell the difference between mine and the new ones. I don’t care about the ballistics app.

The binoculars are simply fantastic. I have “alpha” glass and these are my favorite.

I agree with above. I've owned many generations of Geovids, although there have been some differences in coatings I still use my 2015 HD-R's as optically they were very close to the newest models and the older ones just fit my face better.

I have no idea if same glass but I feel like the R’s are better glass then pro’s and 3200’s. It maybe a smaller area of coatings for display since R’s display less info.

I’d call Doug and test GPO’s also, not as good as the R’s glass wise but deals can be found

Has anyone noticed a difference in color tone between the left and right barrel on the most recent gen geovid r?

I just picked up a used pair that was new in 2023, so most recent gen, and I notice that the left barrel is cooler than the right. It's nowhere near as noticeable as say the vortex fury, but it is definitely noticeable. I thought the point of having the laser in the hinge was to eliminate this issue.
