Best of the crop

Compact binoculars are always a compromise compared to full size binoculars, with small exit pupils that make using them fiddly and which compromise the low light viewing. On the upside, you can always have binoculars with you. I've had the Zeiss...

Leica 8x20 BCA w/Case Binocular (Black)

Leica's compact 8 X 20 isn't close to the competition's

This is an old, time-tested design from Leica, but one which isn't nearly as robust or as bright as some of its competition, most notably, Swarovski, and especially, Zeiss. I have handled this binocular and found that it isn't nearly as bright as my...

Incredible!

I am a surveyor, so small binocs are an essential tool for me.

Spectacular optics, small size, light weight, forever durability

Cost, but get over it - think value over time

A truly pocketable, precision binocular!

The Leica name says it all! Although Better View Desired equates several porro-prism compact binoculars (at half the price) with this Leica roof-prism , one just can't dispute the quality that permeates this little gem.

Leica quality! A truly pocketable, precision binocular

Pricey for a compact

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.
