Leica Ultravid 8x42 HD BR

Leica Ultravid 8x42 BR

The multi-talented binocular that delivers images rich in contrast both during the day and at twilight. The ratio of brightness and weight, of magnification and field of view, make this model perfect for any application.

They are almost as compact as a 32 mm and nearly as bright as a 50 mm. As far as the twilight factor is concerned, the 8 x 42 and the 8 x 50 are not even 10% apart. The BR models are equipped with a shock-absorbing rubber armoring in either green or black

The Ultravid class: Binoculars for extreme demands
Nothing demonstrates what is technically possible today quite as well as the flagship products of the Ultravid class. The housing and centershaft of the 50 mm, 42 mm, and 32 mm models are made of ultra-lightweight, yet extremely durable, magnesium and titanium. Two lightweight exterior finishes are available: soft-touch rubber armoring or elegant leather. The use of these ultra-light materials, coupled with perfectly aligned components, guarantees long-term durability at minimal weight. The thumb rests of the 50 mm and 42 mm models and the sliding eyecups with two click stops of all Ultravid models ensure a comfortable viewing experience. Their soft, cushioning rubber element allows for a comfortable positioning of the eye, and due to the click stops they can be individually set for the perfect eye relief. The strength of the Ultravid class is due, in large part, to its high image quality. The Leica HighLux-System HLS™ makes that possible.
These and other technical advances make it obvious that the Ultravid class is the new reference class in binoculars.

The Ultravid Class at a glance:

Ultra-lightweight:
Magnesium die-cast housing and a titanium center-hinge for lightweight stability and strength. Aspherical lenses allow for the lightweight in the 20 mm and 25 mm models.
 
Ultra-bright:
Extremely high resolution and a color fringe-free image due to the Leica HighLux-System HLS™, an innovative multi-layer lens coating with Leica HDC™ and a four-lens objective with an achromat (aspherical lens technology in the 8 x 20 and 10 x 25 models).
 
Ultra-ergonomic:
Functional design with integrated thumb rests (50 mm und 42 mm BR models), natural placement of focusing mechanism and perfectly balanced for long, relaxed viewing. Multifunction center drive: comfortable, easy focusing and diopter setting.
 
Ultra-rugged:
Soft-touch rubber armoring protects the binocular and ensures a slip-proof handling, even when wearing gloves or wet. Functions perfectly under all environmental conditions from -25 °C to +55 °C, waterproof to 5 m, nitrogen filled, impact resistant
