Among a host of impressive birding-oriented features that Leica Ultravid HD-Plus 8x42 Binoculars provides, their specially formulated Schott glass ensures exceptional light transmission that produces brighter images, but also better colors and considerably improved low light vision. The Leica Ultravid Binoculars also feature exceptionally high-quality lenses that reduce flare to an absolute minimum to guarantee excellent colors and contrast, outstanding image brightness, clarity, and optimum resolution of details.

The innovative AquaDura coating ensures a crystal-clear view in all kinds of weather and protects the lenses against water, scratches, and abrasions. In terms of handling, the Utravid Binoculars are ideally matched to birders’ interests, including frequent use under even the most extreme viewing conditions. The shock-absorbent armoring protects these Leica Binoculars against damage and provide comfortable ergonomics with a firm grip for safe and steady handling.

The Ultravid Essentials:

– 12 precise Schott HT (High Transmission) glass lenses provide amazing natural colors and increased brightness.

– Improved geometry of lens surfaces for edge to edge image sharpness never achieved before.

– A new eyepiece designed for longer eye-relief, wider field of view (389 feet at 1,000 yards), and nearer close focus (10 feet).

– The high-precision focusing system for quick focusing speed.

– A light-weight, high-strength magnesium body with a patented Class 8 hardness surface coating for superior protection.
