Expensive but the quality is worth the money

These binoculars were a revelation to me. I was surprised that this level of quality was still available at any price in today's world of plastic disposable low quality consumer merchandise. These Leica binoculars feel like a heavy glass and metal...

Leica Ultravid (10x42) BR Binoculars

 

I recently purchased the Ultravid 10x42's and is the fourth Leica binocouar I've owned over the last 30 years. You might ask why would someone buy more than one Leica, since they last a lifetime? I use a compact 10x25C for ultralight travel/or theatre...

Lighter, titanium and magnesium are hard to beat...optics are even better

High price, but it's worth it

Warranty problems

I want to tell you about my experience with Leica Binoculars. I purchased the Trinovid 10 X 42s back in the mid 90s for about $1,000.00. I thought they were the best binoculars I had ever owned. Last year, in November of 2003 the binoculars broke. I...

Product Specifications

Optical high performance is Leica's core expertise - and not only the famous Leica camera lenses profit from this. Leica binoculars stand for bright images thanks to outstanding optical performance. Now Leica has succeeded in improving the environmental resistance of the lens coating even further with the newly developed HDC coating technology (High Durable Coating). Above all, the resulting scratch-resistance of the multilayer coating used on the outside surfaces ensures that you will long continue to enjoy bright images. After all, the scratch-resistance of the HDC lens coating surpasses even the requirements of the highest level of the relevant German DIN standard. With LEICA TRINOVID range of binoculars, Leica provides ideal opportunities to track down nature at close proximity or to view the vast expanses of space in all their beauty. People who wear spectacles can also enjoy the full format of the extremely large visual field of view of the LEICA TRINOVID BN lenses with high light-gathering power - thanks to the sophisticated design of the eyepieces and the eyecups that can be moved to one side at lightning speed. That is why the LEICA TRINOVID range has the letter "B "(from the German word "brillentauglich" meaning "suitable for wearers of spectacles") in its name. The "N" stands for the exceptional near zone viewing. Bring your subjects right up close and study all the details of the finest structures for yourself. The LEICA TRINOVID BN range includes the perfect model for every possible application and is the ideal choice in the short or long term. The binoculars features up to 5m presswater impermeability thanks to complete sealing with O-rings.
