Leica 10x42mm Ultravid HD / Black Armored Binoculars

Shop for Binoculars from Binoculars.com! You sense rather than see the movement.. Slowly you raise your Ultravids to your eyes and there it is. Your first Snowy Owl. Picked out in ultra-clear detail. Despite the background of stark white snow despite the uncertain early-dawn light you can see individual feathers on the bird's head ruffling in the biting wind. The Ultravids are performing as they always have; flawlessly through tropical downpours howling gales in equatorial dust bowls across frozen tundra. That really is something - your first Snowy! The robust all-around favourite They are almost as compact as 32 mm models and nearly as high-aperture as 50 mm binoculars. But the 42 mm Ultravids also impress due to the benefits of the new HD models - Leica AquaDuraTM and new FL lenses. LEICA ULTRAVID 10 x 42 HD The most powerful binocular in the 42 mm Ultravid class. The redesigned eyecups allow for a very comfortable positioning of the eye. This becomes very apparent with the improved image steadiness while viewing over great distances. Even extreme cold cannot keep the robust Ultravids from delivering the ultimate viewing experience : the new focusing mechanism on the Leica Ultravid HD models works with high-performance Teflon disks and almost no lubrication. This ensures constant smooth focusing - even at temperatures as low as -25 where other binoculars would surely fail. Fluoride lenses With the help of new fluoride (FL) glass in Leica HD models the color fidelity and contrast of images is further improved. Optical FL lenses are to a large part made up of calcium fluoride a mineral with a crystalline structure. Unlike conventional optical lenses this creates a very low level of dispersion (light scattering) and corrects aberration (imaging errors) significantly better. So as a result the viewing experience is more natural and impressive than it has ever been before. Imitating nature : Leica AquaDuraTM The models of binocular and spotting scopes with the new HD lenses are now fitted with Leica AquaDuraTM a hydrophobic coating which with its water and dirtrepelling properties ensures clear visibility even in poor weather conditions. As with the leaves of the lotus plant droplets of rain simply roll off the lens and fingerprints and dirt particles are much easier to remove. In addition thanks to its increased abrasion resistance Leica AquaDuraTM will protect your valuable lenses from damage even more effectively. Increased light transmission As a result of constant development of antireflex coating and reflective layer on the prisms it has been possible to increase the previously already very high level of transmission on all HD models by at least a further 3 %. Especially in poor lighting conditions such as twilight image brightness is crucial. If you then optimize the coating especially for its suitability at nighttime with conventional lenses this is then only at the expense of color neutrality which is a drawback for daytime viewing - the image can appear to have a blue tint. If you do it the other way round the result can be a green tint. The new Leica HD range now reliably combines an optimum degree of image brightness with a constant level of color neutrality. Excellent image quality - even in awkward light conditions Stray or false light can significantly reduce the viewing experience. To eliminate this effectively Leica is taking a great number of steps which in awkward sidelighting and backlighting situations in particular ensure a high-resolution clear image without any reduction in contrast or constraints due to milky fogging. Specially developed software simulation allows stray light to be seen during development stage. Consequently thanks to an optimized housing shape improved light-absorbing paint apertures and stray light traps the construction of the new HD models have been optimized to such a degree that stray light is (almost) no longer of any significance.

Leica Ultravid HD 10x42 Binocular

Over 100 years of craftsmanship culminates in the impressive performance of the Leica Ultravid HD binocular. State-of-the-art design incorporates fluoride glass with anti-reflective coatings to enhance color resolution and increase light transmission. The optimized Leica focus knob functions smoothly regardless of temperature extremes. The AquaDura™ lens coating forces rain to roll off the lens surfaces, makes it easier to remove dirt and smudges, and provides better protection against scratching. Leica covers new products with a limited lifetime warranty, plus a three-year Passport Protection Plan. Leica demos come with a 10-year limited warranty. Optical Features High-definition (HD) Glass Enhances resolution, color, and contrast. Fully Multi-coated Lenses Increase light transmission with multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces. Phase Correction Enhances resolution and contrast through roof prisms. Dielectric Prism Coatings Optimize light transmission. Highlux-System HLS coatings. Construction Features Roof Prisms Appreciated for a streamlined shape and durability. Aluminum Body Is sturdy and resistant to corrosion. Rubber Armoring Provides a secure, non-slip grip. Multi-position Eyecups Twist up and down for comfortable viewing with or without eyeglasses. Center Focus Wheel Adjusts both binocular barrels at the same time. Right Eye Diopter Adjusts for differences in a user's eyes. Located by the center focus wheel. Design Features Waterproof Optics are sealed with O-rings to prevent moisture, dust, and debris from getting inside the binocular. Fogproof Barrels are filled with nitrogen gas to inhibit internal fogging. AquaDura® Lens Coating Repels water and residue on outer glass surfaces.
