Leica 10×25 Ultravid Binocular (Black Rubber) MFR # 40253

Combining high-definition optics and their proprietary lens coatings, the 10×32 Conquest HD Binocular features the optical technologies and build qualities one would expect from an optic that was made in Germany by Zeiss Sports Optics. Performance begins with high-definition glass elements that transmit crisp and clear images across the entire wide field of view with minimal distortion. Zeiss’ T* coatings reduce reflection to improve light transmission, color fidelity, and overall image contrast to further improve image quality and brightness. Complementing the T* are LotuTec coatings which are applied to exterior lens surfaces. LotuTec is a hydrophobic coating that makes water bead and run off the lens, and makes oils and sap easy to clean off, so the lenses keep clean even in inclement weather.

Built to withstand a life on the trail, the chassis is made of a lightweight and durable aluminum alloy with a protective slip-resistant rubber armor on the exterior. The optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be water and fogproof, capable of withstanding up to 400mbar of pressure. A wide operating temperature range allows it to be used in even the most extreme conditions with ease. Its small form-factor and 22-ounce weight make it easy to handle and even easier to stow in a pack, pocket, or bag.

Zeiss’s gray-black 8×25 Terra ED Compact Binocular gives you a competent and compact optic that fits easily in the palm of your hand. A combination of technologies work together to produce bright and clear images with increased contrast and true color rendition that include: Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms, Schott extra low-dispersion (ED) glass, and anti-reflection fully multicoated optics. The Terra ED is offered here in a8x power which provides a nice general purpose magnification with a generous field of view.

The lightweight housing is nitrogen-filled and o-ring sealed enabling it to withstand use in wet and snowy weather, and the rubberized armor offers protection from impacts while providing a slip-resistant grip. The Terra’s double-hinge closed-bridge design allows it to fold compactly for an easy fit in most pockets or packs, while the knurled center focus wheel enables fast focusing. Twist-up eyecups make it comfortable to use with or without eyewear.

Sporting large objectives, a powerful magnification, extra-low dispersion glass, and phase-corrected BAK4 prisms, Leupold's Kryptek Typhon camo 12×50 BX-3 Mojave Pro Guide HD Binocular delivers bright high-contrast images with true-to-life color and crisp clarity even when observing at long distances. Image quality is enhanced through the use of proprietary anti-reflection lens coatings on all optical surfaces, phase-corrected coatings on the prisms, and large 50mm objectives that gather generous amounts of light to deliver bright images even in low-light conditions such as at dawn, dusk, or under heavily-canopied woods.

Designed to stand up to a life lived outdoors, the optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to make them water and fogproof, even when moving through extreme temperature variations. The chassis is made from an aluminum alloy to make it lightweight and corrosion-resistant. And to further cut weight, providing users with more area to grip, Leupold employs an open bridge configuration with a dual-hinge. Its oversized, knurled center focusing wheel allows for sharp focusing even while wearing gloves, and for long-duration glassing sessions, or to reduce fatigue and visible hand-shake, the Mojave can be mounted on a tripod or other support system using an optional adapter.

The 8×56 Conquest HD Binocular from Zeiss is designed to provide optimal performance in all light and weather conditions. Their performance comes from a combination of extra-low dispersion (ED) glass, and fully multicoated lenses and prisms. The ED glass corrects for chromatic aberration across the entire field of view, ensuring true color transmission with little to no distortion. Taking full advantage of the large 56mm objectives, the lenses have Zeiss’ T* anti-reflective coatings, which minimize light loss and maximize the amount of light getting through the optics. The prisms are phase-corrected to increase contrast. These optical coatings and glass produce a binocular that performs well, especially in low-light conditions, with bright high-contrast images and true color transmission across the entire 57° wide-angle field of view.

Designed for rigorous use in the field, they are nitrogen-filled and o-ring sealed for water and fogproof performance year-round in all weather conditions. The large center focus wheel is accessible with either hand and easy to use, even with gloves. Rubber armoring on the outside of the body provides a safe and secure non-slip grip in wet or cold conditions, and offers protection against drops and impacts. The click-stop twist-up eyecups let you customize your eye-relief whether you wear glasses or not. If you’re going to be glassing for prolonged periods, the Conquest HD is tripod mountable with an optional adapter.
