What comes to mind for each top range maker, which strengths are usually associated with which in everybody's minds? We all have our own ideas about them, so let's share, in brief if you would please. I think many of us will find we have quite different takes on what they stand for.
Leica- A long history of well built optical designs
Nikon- Crystal clear optics (top range of course)
Swaro- Prestige and design
Zeiss- Durability and innovation
Again, just the first thoughts you have when you hear the name. lets not get into a big arguement because we all know to each his own.
