I have used these only a handful of times, and can attest to how incredibly sharp and contrasty these are. Perfect for simple astronomical observations (easy to spot Jovian moons with these, and I observed M42 MANY times with them, VERY well), and great for bird watching etc.
New price (label still on box) is $600. I am selling for $350 INCLUDING postage.
For those that do not know, Leupold is one of the most respected firearms optics manufacturers today - their optics are world renowned.
