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

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.

Zeiss’s gray-black 10×25 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 a10x power, which walks the delicate line between an increased viewing distance over lower magnification optics, while maintaining a useful 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.

The 8×28 Viper Binocular from Vortex is a versatile pocket-sized binocular delivering accurate lifelike color and high-resolution under any condition. The combination of extra-low dispersion (XD) lens elements and XR anti-reflective optical coatings significantly enhances the viewers’ ability to locate and identify subjects, targets, and game. The dielectric-coated roof prisms are fully phase-corrected to ensure maximum light transmission, clarity, and contrast. The entire system is purged and sealed to withstand snow, rain, and dust. A durable and tactile rubberized coating offers a positive grip, and light shock protection.

Optical Performance 48 degree apparent field of view
Phase-corrected roof prisms ensure high-resolution, excellent contrast, trim form-factor

XD lens elements: extra-low dispersion glass for maximum resolution, color, and contrast

XR lens coating: anti-reflective multicoating on all air-to-glass surfaces enhances light transmission

Construction Details Protective rubber covering for enhanced external protection

Argon purged and o-ring sealed for waterproof, fogproof, and dustproof performance

Use and Handling Center focus knob is fast and accurate

Rubber armor provides a secure no-slip grip

Designed for birders and nature enthusiasts, the 8×42 Victory SF Binocular from Zeiss provides an immersive observational experience by combining exceptional optics and a wide field of view in a lightweight and durable housing. Extra-low dispersion fluoride lenses, fully multicoated optics, and phase corrected prisms work together to create images that are clear and bright without distortion across the entire field of view. Colors are accurately represented with high contrast and resolution. The binocular’s 64° wide angle apparent field of view provides expansive views, while the exceptionally short 5′ close focus distance ensures you won’t miss anything.

The optical precision starts with SCHOTT Ultra-FL extra-low dispersion (ED) fluoride (FL) lenses that virtually eliminate distortion and chromatic aberration while increasing contrast and color fidelity. The Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms are coated with Zeiss’ P* phase-correcting coatings to limit light loss and increase color fidelity and contrast. All of the optics are fully multicoated with Zeiss’ anti-reflection T* coatings. These greatly reduce light loss and maximize light transmission to create bright and clear images. A seven-lens eyepiece system uses high-transmission glass and field flatteners to correct for spherical aberrations to allow for pinpoint focusing across the entire field of view.

This SF version of Victory binoculars features the Smart Focus system. Unlike convention focusing wheels that require users to turn the knobs as many as 2.5 times to transition from the minimum to the maximum focus distance, the SF system only requires 1.8 turns. This means faster and easier changes of your subjects without sacrificing focus precision. The binocular is designed with ergonomic balance to reduce the feel of the weight in the hand which reduces user fatigue for comfortable viewing during long observation sessions.

The housing is made from a lightweight, durable, and strong magnesium alloy. A double-hinged open-bridge design provides a larger surface area for gripping while reducing the overall weight even more. The optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and o-ring sealed for water and fogproof performance, giving it a waterproof rating to 400mbar of pressure.
