Leica Ultravid 8x42 HD-Plus Binoculars - Black

Combining Leica's renowned optical expertise with a robust yet lightweight design, they deliver exceptional image quality, outstanding comfort and dependable performance in virtually any environment.

Featuring premium fluoride glass lenses, the Ultravid HD-Plus produces remarkably bright, razor-sharp images with vibrant, natural colours and outstanding contrast.

The versatile 8x magnification offers an ideal balance between image stability and detailed observation, while the generous 130 m field of view at 1,000 m provides an expansive perspective for following moving birds and scanning wide landscapes. A large 5.2 mm exit pupil also delivers bright, comfortable viewing throughout the day and into the early evening.

Built to withstand demanding outdoor conditions, the Ultravid HD-Plus features a lightweight die-cast magnesium housing with a durable titanium centre hinge, waterproof and nitrogen-filled construction, and Leica's AquaDura® lens coating to repel water and dirt. Fast, precise internal focusing requires less than two full turns from close focus to infinity, ensuring you never miss a moment.
