Leica 8x42 Ultravid HD binoculars

 

These are the best binoculars I have ever had. They are so compact and quick to use. The light on the image is so clear and the finger tip adjustment is perfect. An excellent purchase.

Best of the World Class Binoculars

There really are only a handful of binocular brands and models at the top of the mountain of optical and build quality. In my opinion, Leica's best (Trinovid, Ultravid, and Duovid) are the first among equals. I would only buy a few binoculars without...

Awesome optics, lighter weight, the ultimate binos

 

The new ultravids have surpassed my expectations. Extraordinary quality at a much lower weight. The Titanium/magnesium parts inside the binoculars really make a noticeable difference. It allows you to enjoy whatever activity you use your binocs for.

Extraordinary quality, much lighter weight, Leica performance

The price, but you get what you pay for

Leica 8x42 Geovid BRF Binocular Range Finder (Yards)

 

As good as current laser rangefinders get.

The binoculars and excellent, but a notch below the ultravid. The rangefinder is good, but from my testing against the 1200, not really better. Light flat objects can be ranged up to 1000 yards, but darker objects loose the ability to be ranged around...

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.
