I would like information from a reliable source regarding the laser beam divergence size of this Leica Geovid Pro AB+
I found the following:
- I now use a Leica Rangemaster 2800.com which has a 0.5x2.5 mil laser beam divergence
- A friend of mine, now uses a Leica Geovid Pro 10x42 (the black one). On the official Leica website it is mentioned that it has a laser beam divergence of 1.2x0.5 mrad. (both for the 8x42 and 10x42 versions), but in the product manual the information is different and it is mentioned that it has a laser beam divergence of 0.8x1.8 mil (vertical 0,8mil and horizontal 1,8mil)
- Also, according to the Leica website, the Leica Geovid Pro AB+ has a laser beam divergence of 1.8x0.8mil
So:
2800.com 0,5x2,5 = 1.25 mrad
Geovid Pro 1.2x0,5 = 0,6 mrad or 0,8x1.8 = 1,44 mrad (it is not clear which value is the correct one)
Geovid Pro AB+ 1.8x0.8 = 1.44 mrad
It is absolutely surprising to see that exactly the top version Geovid Pro AB+ is listed with the largest laser beam divergence, even greater than the one from Rangemaster 2800.com.
It doesn't even make sense to compare the 1.5x0.06 mrad (0.09 mrad) from Sig 10K ABS
Since I'm considering putting my money down for a Geovid Pro Ab+, please tell me if what I wrote above is correct, or if not, which of the contradictory printed official data (attached below) is wrong?
Thank you in advance
