Yes, but as I recall (from several years ago), it wasn't apples-to-apples.
I don't think the store had 10x Leicas to look at, only 8x. They were very
close, but of course a competant 8x would be brighter than the 10x Zeiss
ones. The Leicas (as I recall from a couple years ago) were not available
in that
