See more It is our eyes that guide us through the world. They shape our perception of our surroundings and all we encounter. Especially while hunting, it becomes clear that our natural sight is insufficient to meet our demands. Leica has dedicated itself to giving the discerning hunter the highest quality in optical instruments. Where distances are too great or light conditions are poor, the large selection of innovative sport optics, open new dimensions of human sight. They open new dimensions of optical performance and go beyond natural limitations, while at the same time ensuring unmistakable Leica quality. Our engineers and developers thrive on the challenge put forth by people with the highest standards and expectations in optical performance. As multi-faceted as their applications, so too are the methods used to create sport optics products that display images rich in contrast and with outstanding color rendition. Glass containing fluorite or those with corrected spectral dispersion, aspherical and achromatic lenses, as well as modern multi-layer coatings like HDC™ and HighLux-System HLSTM allow for unforgettable viewing experiences. Through our high standards, knowledge, and dedication we create optical masterpieces, which become the benchmark of their class.

The hunting experience Conservation, preservation, and wildlife management are important principles of hunting. However, for you the hunter, hunting means so much more. It means respect for wildlife and nature, as well as a true passion. Besides experience, knowledge and a bit of luck, a hunter needs high quality optics to properly pursue game during low-light conditions. Our quest is to bring enthusiasts closer to nature, and coupled with our Leica expertise, make our optical instruments the ideal field companions. Even under the most grueling conditions, such as extreme temperature changes and constant physical abuse, our products exceed expectations. The reason for this being that Leica binoculars, spotting scopes, and laser rangefinders are the result of many years of experience, uncompromising quality standards and a continuing dedication to excellence. Leica's product development is driven by international "Innovation Teams" comprised of experts and users. This approach has resulted in numerous patents, e.g. the multifunction center drive of our full-size binoculars, the dual-focusing device of our spotting scopes and our unique laser rangefinding technology.

Observe and preserve We see it as our duty to protect the environment. Therefore, Leica only uses environmentally friendly materials and technology. As such, all glass is lead- and arsenic-free, and has been so for years. Leica is also active worldwide in protecting endangered species and conserving crucial habitat.

Hunting in the United Kingdom Every country has its own hunting laws and to the visitor the UK might appear restrictive and traditional, in fact nothing could be further from the truth! First and perhaps most importantly is the fact that you don’t need a hunting permit, as you might in America.

For example in the USA you would buy a deer tag, which allowed you to hunt one animal only. Technically the amount of animals you can shoot here is limitless ; though and as ever good sense, opportunity and moderation prevail. And all you need is a place to shoot and permission to do so.

This might take the form of land you have permission from the owner to use, or that has been set aside for commercial deer hunting (an estate), where you pay the owner an amount per animal or per day. Smaller but similar might be a stalker who owns their own land and hires it out to shooters. Quite often trophy and guide fees are added on top of that. And though the majority of stalkers own their own rifles, you don't need one, as if you decide to go to an estate you can hire a gun and ammunition from them.

Species wise we have Red, Sika, Fallow, Roe, Muntjac and Chinese Water Deer, with only the Red and Roe being true native animals. The rest have been imported over the years, some as ornamental animals for deer parks, others for hunting. A good example might be the Fallow, which is said to have been brought over after the Norman conquest of 1066. We also have one hybrid animal the Red/Sika cross, depending on your location and view point these are seen by many as vermin that's weakening the traditional Red deer strain due to inter breeding. Hence in England and Wales there's no closed season on this species.

The Red stag is perceived as the most sought after trophy animal in the UK and people will pay a lot of money to go up to Scottish highlands for the pleasure of a stalk up on the hills and heather. Stalking can be hard up there with potentially long shots and a good deal of crawling and climbing to get into position due to the lack of cover.

However and despite their apparent reputation, the Scottish Red is not as big as you might imagine ; certainly in comparison to southern Reds who have better grazing on arable crops. Whereas their fodder is of a much lower quality.

Down in Anglia a good Red Hind that's been feeding on root crops will often match the weight of a supposedly big Scottish stag.

Fallow, which is a medium sized animal tend to be gregarious and also migratory. Herds of between 20-40 are reasonably common. Striking too are the melonistic strain, which can be in some cases pure black, which makes for a very impressive animal and trophy.

Roe tend to move in smaller groups with a buck and a few does, at sometimes, or does and their young at others. Muntjac and Chinese Water Deer are more singular by nature and are encountered more in thick woodland than in the open. Whatever, it's not about size and antler, as all species will give you a decent and challenging hunt.

There is wild boar in the UK and they are hunted, though they are not that widespread, but they are breeding and expanding at a rate. And in the not so distant future they will probably become a quarry species like deer.

Hunting in the UK is done a lot from high seats, which is a highly practical method. Firing downwards gives you a safe backstop, so the seats can be sited in areas where a horizontal shot might not be safe. Plus and usually on estates they can be positioned overlooking where the deer will appear to feed, so very much guaranteeing the client the possibility of an animal. But there is also a lot of foot stalking if you prefer the thrill of the chase. But both methods have there plus and minus points. However, shooting deer from a vehicle is not allowed, nor is taking them at night with a lamp. Though it is possible to apply for a night shooting licence, but not for sporting purposes, only if you need to cull for reasons of overpopulation of excessive crop damage.

But for the sports shooter deer hunting is dawn to dusk only. Also no shot may be taken within 100-yards of a road, for safety reasons.

Terrain-wise the UK has a lot to offer with woods, moorland, forests, hills and even mountains. Shots can be close up or long range, with the more experienced seeing 300-400-yards as an acceptable distance. Like the Europeans and Americans we hunt in all weathers and seasons; so be prepared ...

Legal requirements are simple as to the rifle and ammunition, it has to be a Centrefire calibre and a minimum of 6 mm and able to produce a minimum muzzle energy of 1700 ft/lbs. And the bullet must be of the expanding type – soft point, hollow point or ballistic tip. For most entry-level stalkers the top choice is either 243 or 308 Winchester. Also popular though perhaps less prolific are 6.5 × 55 mm Swedish, 30-06 Springfield and to a lesser degree 270 Winchester. Any and all of these are more than capable of taking a big Red stag ; given correct bullet placement and choice. You also see a few 25-06s and even 7 × 57 mm Mauser etc and the 308-based calibres like 260 Remington or 7 mm-08 Remington are becoming more popular.

Currently there is one exception to the 6mm/1700ft/lb law and that's in Scotland where you are allowed to take smaller species like Roe with a 22 Centrefire. Here calibres like 222, 223 and 22-250 Remington and to a lesser degree 220 Swift are favoured. Currently this is not allowed in England or Wales who still operate the 6mm minimum. However, this might change in the near future with Roe, Muntjac and Chinese Water Deer allowed to be taken with a 22 Centrefire.

There are no limitations on sighting systems, though the telescopic sight is universally favoured and it's rare to see a hunter using iron sights ; unlike in Europe. For deer hunting in the UK the most popular rifle is a bolt-action repeater, with very few shooters opting for lever-actions, double/single barrels or even combinations. Pump-actions and semi-automatics are banned from ownership and have been since 1988. Though they are still legal to own in 22 Rimfire format in all of the above actions.

the food chain, then it must conform to European guidelines, as to how it's be prepared and offered to a game dealer. And it also has to be checked by a vet for diseases and infection. Currently the private stalker is under no such obligation, as their meat is for private consumption only. However and again good sense should prevail and attending a BDS or BASC course will show you what to do and more importantly what to look out for.

Deer species are reasonably evenly spread around the UK, though places

in England/Wales (no closed season) though not in Scotland, yet the Muntjac and Chinese Water Deer can be shot at any time of the year wherever they are found in the UK. Deer in the UK are shot for a number of reasons and levels, which includes trophies and meat, which is becoming more popular in restaurants, super markets, as well as specialised butchers. But also to keep numbers down, as we do have a massive population of wild animals, which do a lot of damage to crops and forestry.

Shooters tend to fall into three main groups, at the bottom we have those who just want to experience shooting a deer once or twice a year and maybe get a bit of meat. Next are the more traditional stalkers who shoot mainly for trophies and tend to approach it in a more stylised manner, which includes equipment choice. Then there are the professional shooters who see it as a living, or as a job that needs doing. They tend to approach it a bit more technically with semi or full custom rifle with bipods, range finders and even camouflage clothing. They're job is to keep numbers down and sell the meat to game dealers. And it's this need for well made, tough and accurate rifles

Hunting or Target Shooting? The law insists upon a firearms licence for the private citizen to be able to own guns and sees target shooters and hunters as two separate entities. With the latter having to nominate land to shoot over or show that they have access to land, in the case of buying a day's stalking on an estate. So owning a rifle to shoot on the range does not necessarily allow you to take it hunting...

However, as a private individual; once permission to hunt has been granted there's no legal requirement to show how many animals you have shot. Likewise on training courses, which are not mandatory. But our own British Deer Society (BDS) runs levels of training for novice and more experienced stalkers, as does The British Association for Shooting & Conservation (BASC). They teach things like deer recognition, rifle/calibre choice, shot placement, marksmanship, gutting, skinning and meat preparation techniques. This is not mandatory, but good training as always turns out a better shooter not matter what their discipline. Since 2006 and if you run a commercial shoot, such as an estate and sell the wild/game meat into

like Scotland are considered the home of the Red Deer, which is in fact far from the truth as they are quite widespread. Perhaps the most specialised is the Chinese Water Deer, which sticks to wetland areas as the name suggest. We naturally have open (hunting) and closed (no hunting) seasons, as to gender and species type, these differ as to the country with England and Wales being the same, though Scotland is different. It's interesting to note that the Red/Sika hybrids are treated like vermin species

that has given rise to the spread of themore technically advanced gunsmiths.Hunters and shooters them-selves, theyknow what the customer wants and arecapable of giving it to them.

Black Deer Quite the most striking looking deer in the UK is the melanistic Fallow, which due to their genetics produces an animal that in extreme case is pure black. Physically they look no different to the traditional spotted variety in size, sex, shape or antler, but their colouration is amazing. And I have had the pleasure of seeing these animals up close.

A friend of mine owns a large estate near Strafford Upon Avon and has a big Fallow heard, which is maintained purely for hunting. And many Europeans come over for the pleaser of stalking one of these black beasts. He also runs pheasants, so as you can imagine the deer feed well on the corn he puts out for the birds, as they knock over the feeders for that purpose.

already been ear marked for a Swedish client, so I was just observing.

The shooting boxes are set up all over the land, which is heavily wooded and I was in another with the keeper waiting to thin out the standard Fallow population a little. Typically the deer get used to the boxes and will approach very near. We spotted a small family group - a young

All shooting is done not from high seats, but from raised boxes, which and as I was to discover is a rather fine way of hunting, if a bit lazy. I would call it rich man's stalking ...

I was up there in the rut and the first time I saw one of the big melanistic bucks was from a 20 foot high shooting tower. That almost primordial, grunting noise they make as they call the does in and issue challenges to other males is a little chilling and makes you feel a bit unsettled and very close to nature. One really nice male walked right past the tower and I had a very good view of him. However, he had

buck, a doe and two fawns, who walked right up to the box. The male was in absolutely beautiful condition and his coat was as rich and glossy as that of a mole. He was so close that I could have put my hand out to touch him. I have had moments like this before when you can just get really close to wild deer and they are not frightened. And without doubt this one will remain with me for ever ...

But it was the does that we were after that day and in another shooting box we sat at the end of a ride in a wood. The box is roofed so no problems about the rain and has three rifle ports. We saw a

lot of deer that afternoon, mainly bucks and as the light was drawing in I spotted a doe coming up through the foliage. She was with other who had fawns but we couldn't see if she had one in tow, as it was they were weaned, but and by the same token we did not want to take the chance. Unlike most of my shooting this was close range and I tracked her through the scope with the keeper telling me to stand by to fire if he said so. As he was checking to see if she had a young one.

The group came on and the keeper was still not sure, soon the opportunity for the shot would disappear. Despite the number of deer I've shot I still get tense in moments like these, as it's very much a yes/no/wait situation. Finally the keeper said that she was alone and I could proceed; checking the sights I flipped off the safety and bang, down she went. This all happened in slow motion and as I operated the bolt to reload, I recall seeing the empty case eject and hit the shooting port and started spinning and come to rest in perfect balance on the edge of the woodwork. Like seeing the melanistic Fallow up close, hunting to me is defined by moments like this, which is why it's so special ...

The Call of Nature Unlike Roe, which tend to move in very small groups or singly, Fallow are far more gregarious and I have seen them in herds of up to 40 animals. Like the Roe I have shot a lot of them, and the big bucks with their large antlers do make some nice trophies. Quite often the dominant male will drive the younger mature bucks out of the herd and they tend to join up to make bachelor groups.

A particular group of six had been feasting on the sugar beat on one of the farms I do deer control on and the farmer was after results from me. Shots on this land are necessarily long by nature as the fields are big and the only cover is in the wooded headlands that border them. So it's more ambush shooting, as stalking up to a group of alert Fallow looking in all directions on flat open land is never easy! So I tend to use larger and flatter-shooting calibres with my favourite being 270WSM.

The week before I had taken two out of the group and was up very early the next Sunday to carry on the work. With a near two mile walk from the farmyard to the fields I skirted the woods staying in cover as much as possible. Just as the sun was coming up I glassed across the

had finished I looked up to see them about 200-ayrds away in the same field. Luckily I was in cover so bent down to put my coat on and ready my rifle. Looking up again and they had gone, it was almost as if the earth had swallowed them up. That's how it happens sometimes...

Not angry but disappointed I waited on the off chance, but after about 30 minutes realised that it was all over for the morning and started walking back around the field to the farm. The field dips down to a deep ditch then up again into another hill field of sugar beat. To my surprise another big Fallow buck appeared at the top left of the far field, instinctively I threw myself down and as luck would have it he didn't see me.

If I wanted him I was going to have to

of the question. I deployed my bipod and waited, hoping he would move far enough left where I could point my rifle through the cover to get the shot. Waiting I heard the mosquitoes buzzing around and they started to bite me, but I kept still. He started left as I had hoped and eventually walked into the area where I could see to shoot and that was that ...

A funny day, I missed out on my main target due to unforeseen and uncontrollable circumstances, but by sheer luck managed to get another deer in the bag by a bit of hard work and patience. That's hunting.

field and saw that parcel of four bucks was moving towards me. It was just then that my body decided it had to answer an important call of nature and one that would not be delayed.

With a final rueful look at the approaching animals I ducked into the woods and attended to my needs. Rifle down, pack and coat off and all the time the deer were getting nearer. When I

work for it, as he was in a 'no shoot' position being in front of a road. Once and if he moved to his left about 50-yards he would be on the hill, which was a safe back stop. The only answer was to crawl from where I was to make the ditch. Slithering down the slope I made the cover only to find it was a bit high. I didn't want to be seen so setting up my shooting sticks for a sitting shot was out

The Duovid class : Two binoculars in one

The LEICA DUOVID 8 + 12 × 42 and 10 + 15 × 50 are the only premium performance binoculars with two magnifications. No matter what the situation, whether it is over long distances or during critical lowlight conditions, the Leica Duovid adapts to it perfectly. The lower magnification (8 x with the 42 Duovid or 10 × with the 50) allows for shake-free viewing and a large field of view. By switching to the higher magnification (12 x or 15 × respectively) one achieves greater detail recognition. In contrast to monocular add-on power boosters, a binocular booster is already integrated in the Duovid – lightweight, easy to operate and with a large field of view. Both models are well balanced and feature an outstanding ergonomic design, thereby allowing for virtually shake-free viewing, even at high magnification. Other technical innovations, such as the Leica HighLux-System HLST^TM and the Automatic Diopter Compensation ADC^TM when switching between powers, make the Duovid a unique and versatile instrument.

LEICA DUOVID 10 + 15 × 50

LEICA DUOVID 10 + 15 × 50 - the binocular-spotting scopes With its 15 × magnification, the Duovid with 50 ~mm objective lens bridges the gap between binocular and spotting scope.

LEICA DUOVID 10 + 15 × 50

This Duovid is a high performance binocular that, with a flick of the wrist, becomes a binocular-spotting scope. The 10 × magnification allows for shake-free viewing and a larger field of view. By switching to 15 × one achieves a level of detail recognition previously found only in spotting scopes. Due to its excellent image quality, the 50 ~mm Duovid is ideally suited for low-light hunting. To allow for longer, fatigue free viewing, a tripod is included with the binocular.

The ergonomic design and the soft-touch rubber armoring allow for a secure and shake-free handling of the binocular, even while wearing gloves.

The most flexible hunting binocular : The Duovid's 12 x and 15 x magnifications are ideally suited for viewing game over great distances, as well as rendering a detail rich image. On the other hand, the 8 x and 10 x magnifications allow for a large field of view when glassing an area for game.

"My Duovid is indispensable when hunting wild boar. It is fantastic how effortless it makes nighttime viewing."

(Peter Grieder, hunter and freelance journalist, Switzerland)

LEICA DUOVID 8 +12 x 42 - the most flexible 42 mm binoculars

Unique 12 × magnification in a 42 ~mm glass, which allows for great detail recognition.

LEICA DUOVID 8+12x42

The compact 42 Duovid offers 8 × magnifica- tion for a large field of view, as well as 12 × magnification for greater detail recognition. As with the 50 ~mm model, this Duovid features the sliding eyecups with two click stops, which ensure the ideal eye relief for every user.

To switch between magnifications, one must adjust the ring on each tube accordingly. Due to the Automatic Diopter Compensation ADC™ your previously set diopter will automatically adjust itself to the new magnification.

"The Duovid is the most versatile hunting binocular. No matter what the situation or the quarry, the Duovid delivers the perfect optical solution."

(Matthias Suuck, Sales Manager Leica Sport Optics)

Due to its extreme twilight performance, the Duovid achieves great detail recognition at 12 × and 15 × magnification, even under poor light conditions. However, with continued deteriorating light conditions, one should switch to 8 × or 10 × magnification, since the binoculars render brighter images at lower power settings.

Two magnifications

The flexible binocular class with both - high magnification and a large field of view - in one product. High magnification for long distances and minute details. Low magnification for image stabilization and a large field of view.

Extreme brilliance

Extremely high resolution and a color-fringe-free image due to the Leica HighLux-System HLST^TM , an innovative multi-layer lens coating with Leica HDC™ and a four-lens objective with an achromat.

Easy to use

Automatic Diopter Compensation ADC™ : when switching between magnifications the diopter automatically adjusts. Multifunction center drive : comfortable, smooth focusing and easy diopter setting.

Robust

Strong aluminum die-cast housing and soft-touch rubber armoring protect the binocular from damage, while at the same time ensuring secure handling of the product, even when wearing gloves. Functions perfectly under all environmental conditions from -25^ C to +55^ C (-13^ F to +131^ F) , waterproof to 5 ~m (16.4 ft), nitrogen-filled.

The Ultravid class : Binoculars for extreme demands

Nothing demonstrates what is technically possible today quite as well as the flagship products of the Ultravid class. The housing and center-shaft of the 50mm , 42mm , and 32mm models are made of ultra-lightweight, yet extremely durable, magnesium and titanium. Two lightweight exterior finishes are available: soft-touch rubber armoring or elegant leather. The use of these ultra-light materials, coupled with perfectly aligned components, guarantees long-term durability at minimal weight. The thumb rests of the 50mm and 42mm models and the sliding eyecups with two click stops of all Ultravid models ensure a comfortable viewing experience. Their soft, cushioning rubber element allows for a comfortable positioning of the eye, and due to the click stops they can be individually set for the perfect eye relief. The strength of the Ultravid class is due, in large part, to its high image quality. The Leica HighLux-System HLST^TM makes that possible. This innovative system – comprised of a new highly reflective mirror coating on the prism surfaces and the optimized optical and mechanical design – further reduces stray-light and generates an increase in light-transmission and contrast, thereby creating an unforgettable viewing experience. These and other technical advances make it obvious that the Ultravid class is the new reference class in binoculars.

LEICA ULTRAVID 8 × 20 BL

LEICA ULTRAVID BR 50 mm – ready for any light conditions The 50 mm Ultravids achieve a richness in contrast and brilliance that, up until now, has been hard to achieve, even with a larger objective lens. All 50 mm models are available in black or green rubber armoring.

LEICA ULTRAVID 8 × 50 BR

Fatigue-free viewing, even under poor light conditions. The 8 x magnification guarantees a steady, sharp image, without the need to constantly refocus.

LEICA ULTRAVID 10 x 50 BR

The high light-transmission, top-of-the-class binocular. Thanks to the outstanding twilight performance, fine details can be viewed well into darkness.

LEICA ULTRAVID 12 x 50 BR

The 12 × magnification allows for great detail recognition over long distances. Beyond that, this high-performance binocular features exceptional 3.2 ~m (10.7 ft) close focusing.

Even extreme cold does not stop the Ultravid from delivering impressive viewing experiences. Functioning down to temperatures of -25^ (-13^) it reaches a performance level that almost no other binocular can match. Ultravid : the combination of precision and ruggedness.

LEICA ULTRAVID BR 42 mm – the robust all-rounder They are almost as compact as a 32 mm and nearly as bright as a 50 mm. As far as the twilight factor is concerned, the 8 x 42 and the 8 x 50 are not even 10% apart. The BR models are equipped with a shock-absorbing rubber armoring in either green or black.

LEICA ULTRAVID 7x42 BR

A large field of view with great edge-to-edge sharpness, combined with a bright and steady image, characterize this binocular.

LEICA ULTRAVID 8 x 42 BR

The multi-talented binocular that delivers images rich in contrast both during the day and at twilight. The ratio of brightness and weight, of magnification and field of view, make this model perfect for any application.

LEICA ULTRAVID 10 x 42 BR

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.

The new ergonomics allow for a relaxed handling. The thumb rests of the 50mm and 42mm BR models allow for shake-free and slip-proof handling. The large center drive provides for a comfortable and natural hold.

LEICA ULTRAVID BL 42 mm - lightweight in a classic design The leather covered 42 mm BL models are particularly elegant, are reminiscent of the classic binoculars and cameras that made Leica famous. Due to the leather covering, they weigh less than 700 g (24.7 oz).

LEICA ULTRAVID 8 x 42 BL

A field of view of 130m (389 ft) at an 8x magnification. An image that is rich in contrast both during the day and at twilight.

LEICA ULTRAVID 10 x 42 BL

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. This high-power binocular is, just as the 10 × 42 BR model, equipped with new eyepieces designed to comfortably accommodate eyeglass wearers.

Magnesium and titanium are the strengths of the 50mm , 42mm , and 32mm lightweight Ultravids. A housing constructed entirely out of magnesium and a center-shaft made of titanium guarantee the longevity and make the very low weight of the Ultravid models possible. Easy to use and nice to look at : The newly redesigned center drive is a feat of Leica engineering. The new ring-shaped window is easy to read and the focusing wheel is smooth and easy to operate. Because of the short focusing path of just over one turn, the optimal point of sharpness is easily found.

LEICA ULTRAVID BR 32 mm – always with you The 32 mm models are a continuation of the previously established design, function, mechanical, and optical standards of the Ultravid class. They redefine 32 mm binoculars.

LEICA ULTRAVID 8 × 32 BR

High-performance binocular with 32mm objective lens diameter, 8× magnification and a large field of view of 135m (404 ft) allows for a great overview and steadiness of image. The ideal stalking binocular with its minimal weight and maximum optical performance.

LEICA ULTRAVID 10 x 32 BR

The most powerful 32 mm model not only impresses over great distances, but due to its 2.1 m (6.9 ft) close focus also allows for viewing of even the smallest of details.

In terms of optical performance and handling, you might believe that you are holding a 42 mm binocular, when in fact it is a 32 mm binocular.

LEICA ULTRAVID BR 25 mm – the stars among the compacts

The 25 mm models combine ruggedness and brightness in a pocketsize dimension : The rubber armoring protects the binocular during tough outings, the HighLux-System HLS™ allows for fascinating images.

LEICA ULTRAVID 10× 25 BR

Glossary We hope that the following glossary of main terms and quality criteria for the evaluation of binoculars and spotting scopes will be helpful to you in making a purchasing decision. In addition, there are authorized Leica dealers and representatives around the world who will be pleased to assist you. They have a large selection of products.

Technical binocular terms

Magnification Every binocular is specified by two numbers, of which the first one always indicates the magnification. Magnification tells us how much closer an object appears to the observer when viewed through the binocular. For example : At 8 x magnification, a bird that is 328 feet/100 m away appears to be only 41 feet/12.5 m (328 ft : 8 = 41 ft) away.

Front lens diameter The second characteristic number of a binocular is the front lens diameter (the entry pupil of the binocular) stated in millimeters. A binocular with the designation 10 × 50 has a front lens diameter of 50mm . The larger the front lens diameter, the more light can be gathered by the binocular. If observation is to be conducted at twilight or at night, the ideal choice is a front lens diameter of 42 or 50mm . Binoculars with a front lens diameter of 20 to 32mm are suited primarily for observation in daylight.

Exit pupil The two bright circular areas that can be seen when one looks at the eyepiece of a binocular from a distance of approximately 12 inches/30 cm. (Exit pupil = front lens diameter in mm : magnification factor). An indication of quality is that these areas should be exactly circular and that they should have sharp edges. The pupil of the eye changes its diameter in accordance with the light intensity (small in bright light, large in the dark). For example, a 40-year old observer typically has a maximum pupil diameter of 6 mm. A rule of thumb for low light observation is that the exit pupil of a binocular should be at least as large as the pupil of the eye at its largest diameter. The exit- and entry pupils are not, however, the only decisive quality characteristics for the evaluation of image brightness : Factors such a contrast, resolving power and light transmission of a binocular or spotting scope are just as important.

Twilight factor The twilight factor is a computed number that describes the theoretical performance capability of a binocular at twilight. It is computed by taking the square root of the product of the magnification factor and the front lens diameter. The twilight factor is a purely mathematical value that says nothing about the optical quality of a binocular, such as contrast, neutral color rendition, resolving power, etc.

Objective field of view This value defines the width of the field of view at a distance of 1,000 meters or 1,000 yards. Usually, the greater the magnification, the smaller the field of view. Binoculars with a large field of view enable the observer to cover a large area and to follow moving subjects, such as a flock of birds, conveniently. A significant quality criterion of Leica binoculars is an image that is a field of view that is crisp and sharp to its very edges and that is rich in contrast.

Example LEICA ULTRAVID 10 x 42 BR

Magnification = 10x ,front lens diameter = 42mm

Exit pupil = front lens diameter / magnification = 4.2 mm

Twilight factor = lens diameter × magnification factor = 20.5

Glossary For illustration purposes, the pictorial examples show strongly exaggerated effects of the various types of imaging errors or aberrations.

Optical quality

Contrast and resolving power Contrast is defined as the difference in brightness between light and dark areas of the image. The greater this difference, the higher the contrast. An image that is rich with contrast is subjectively perceived to be sharper and more brilliant. Resolving power is the extent to which an optical system is capable of reproducing the finest structures. The greater the resolving power, the better are the finest details rendered, even under difficult light conditions. Pictorial examples : In optimally rendered images (left), both contrast and resolution are high. If the contrast is too low, the image is flat (center). If the resolution is too low, the image is unsharp, one can no longer discern details in the fur (right).

Reflections and flare When light rays are reflected by lens surfaces and/or structural components or scattered by lens mounts, they arrive at a location in the image that is different from the one where they are intended to arrive. Undesired reflections and light areas that can degrade the image significantly and that can impair the visual impression occur especially when the sun shines directly into the front lens. To prevent reflections and flare caused by stray light rays, Leica takes numerous dedicated steps. To begin with, the shapes of lens surfaces, mounting components and light traps are already optimized during the design stage so that no extremely disturbing effects are to be expected. Furthermore, a significant reduction in reflections and stray light components is achieved by means of special coatings of lens elements (vapor deposition of special reflectionreducing layers) and by the matte black finish of internal mechanical components.

Depth of field Depth of field is the distance between the nearest and the furthest away objects that can still be perceived as being sharp at a given focus setting without the need for refocusing. The depth of field is dependent upon the magnification of a binocular or spotting scope. The lower the magnification, the greater the depth of field. Therefore, if one wishes to see several objects at different distances but with the same sharpness (as illustrated on the top), one would give preference to a binocular with a 7 × or 8 × magnification, which would also have great advantages for observation at twilight or in poor light conditions, because one would not have keep refocusing to maintain a sharp image. The greater the magnification, the smaller the depth of field. Greater magnifications are advantageous when one wishes to discern more details or smaller objects, as illustrated on the bottom.

Imaging errors (aberrations) In order for a sharp image to be created, light from a point on the subject must re-converge as a point in the picture. As a rule, a single lens element is not adequate for this purpose, because it has inherent deviations (imaging errors or aberrations), that are described a follows : By selecting appropriate types of optical glass and lens coatings, and by combining the right lens elements and by converting the computed lens design into reality a accurately as possible, Leica succeeds in keeping all the residual aberrations at a very low level. To that end all phases, from optical design to fabrication, are optimized for the always highest possible imaging quality.

Aperture errors - spherical aberration The closer to the edge light rays pass through a lens, the more they will tend to arrive away from the actual picture point. Because this effect becomes stronger as the front lens diameter increases, it is referred to as aperture error, also called spherical aberration. Aperture error causes a loss of sharpness and contrast in the image. In extreme cases, flare becomes noticeable - halos are formed around point sources of light, as illustrated in the pictorial example above.

Coma When coma is present, light rays will deviate to one side of their intended picture point. The picture point will gain a tail like a comet. This effect occurs more towards the edges of the picture and not in its center. Strong coma leads to a loss in sharpness and contrast, in extreme cases the coma tail becomes noticeable in point sources of light, as illustrated in the enlarged section of a picture of a star. This section was cropped from the left upper corner of the moon picture.

Astigmatism Because of the naturally curved shape of a lens, not all light rays converge on the same plane. While the center of the picture is sharp, the edge of the picture appears to be out of focus. One can cause objects in one or the other plane to be rendered sharply by refocusing. In addition, astigmatism causes the sharpness of an object detail to be influenced by its orientation. This effect becomes stronger towards the edges of the image. For example, if we look at the corner of a picture of a chain link fence, it will be noticeable (if astigmatism is present) that the wires that point towards the center of the image are reproduced with a different degree of sharpness than those that are oriented at a right angle to them. By refocusing, one or the other wire direction can be rendered sharply, but not both of them at the same time. This effect can be reduced by appropriate optical design measures, but it cannot be eliminated completely. Astigmatism leads to a significant impairment of the image quality.

Distortion The term distortion is used to describe the effect that causes the image of an object to be rendered with a non-uniform reproduction ratio. For binocular observation, unlike in photography, this effect is applied quite deliberately to reduce the so-called "globe effect" caused by perspective observation and by swinging the binocular. To the observer, the image created in this manner appears straightened out. There are two kinds of distortion: pincushion distortion (illustrated on the top), and barrel distortion (as shown on the bottom). Observation through a binocular that does not have deliberately implemented judicious distortion is quite unpleasant.

Color errors (chromatic aberrations) Every image-forming component made of glass – such a lens elements – refracts light rays of different colors at different angles. This results in the fact that not all the light rays that emanate from a multi-colored point on the object are re-united at a single point in the image. This results in color errors for the observer. Color errors become particularly evident to the observer as color fringes when high magnifications and long focal lengths are being used, as they are in spotting scopes. Pictorial examples : Color errors appear primarily as color fringes around dark objects in front of bright backgrounds, as illustrated by the example on the left with the red-fringed feather dress. With APO correction of Leica (right illustration) such color effects are no longer discernible.

Optical glasses with anomalous partial dispersion

Light rays of different colors are refracted at different angles through the lens elements. This effect is called dispersion and in different types of glass it is present at different levels of strength. Most types of glass have typical, "normal" characteristics. Special glasses with "anomalous partial dispersion", on the other hand, have characteristics that are different in certain ranges of colors, and this makes a special color error correction possible that cannot be achieved with normal types of optical glass. Glasses with anomalous partial dispersion are used for the enhancement of image quality, and they are used in all Leica binoculars and spotting scopes.

APO color error correction APO stands for apochromatic color error correction. It is only beneficial for lenses with long focal lengths and for high magnifications, like in spotting scopes. Apochromatic color correction is achieved by the use of special types of optical glass with anomalous partial dispersion and with glasses that contain fluorite. Such correction results in images with enhanced sharpness, increased contrast and an extremely natural color rendition.

High refraction glasses Lens elements made of high refraction glasses bend light rays more strongly than lenses with the same shape that are made of standard glasses. Therefore the use of a lens element made of high refraction glass can achieve strong effect without the need for lenses with excessively strong surface curvatures. This helps to prevent imaging errors, thus leading to greater imaging performance. High refraction optical glasses are used in all Leica binoculars and spotting scopes in order to make their short construction possible.

ASPH. ASPH. is an abbreviation that denotes the use of at least one aspherical lens surface in an optical system. Unlike regular spherical lens surfaces, aspherical lenses have a curvature near their edges that is different from the curvature in the center of the lens. That makes it possible to influence light rays passing through the edges of the lens differently from light rays passing through the center portion of the lens. It also makes it possible to achieve several correction goals simultaneously with only one lens element. Furthermore it helps to reduce the weight and the physical size of an optical system and it makes certain imaging characteristics possible to begin with. Such surfaces help to increase the image quality or to influence the distortion. The fabrication and the handling of aspherical lens elements is significantly more costly, however, than that of conventional spherical lenses. In order to assure the extremely high image quality in all models of Ultravid binoculars, aspherical lenses are used effectively in the 25mm and 20mm BR/BL models. In the remaining models the high image quality is achieved by means of complex optical systems that consist of several lens elements.

Light transmission, the degree of same When light rays strike on glass surface, only some of them penetrate the glass, the others are reflected. The more light penetrates a lens element or an optical system, the higher is their transmission. As a rule, there is an approximate 4% light reflection at every glass-/air surface of an uncoated lens. This effect increases exponentially the more lens elements there are in an optical system (in Leica binoculars there are up to 11 optical elements = 22 glass-/air surfaces).

Lens without coating
100% light

Coatings In order to minimize the reflection of light rays, complex procedures are employed, involving the vapor deposition in high vacuum of numerous layers of exceedingly thin layers of approximately 0.000125 millimeters, which corresponds to 1/500 of the thickness of a human hair. At Leica, high-performance broadband coatings are applied that are tailored specifically to the types of glass that are being used. Not only do they have the task of elevating the transmission of an optical system to a close as possible to 100% , they also have the important task whenever possible to protect the particularly exposed external lens surfaces from environmental influences and from damages such as scratches. These two requirements – high transmission and high environmental- and scratch resistance – are combined in the innovative multi-layer coating Leica HDC™.

Lens with Leica HDCTM multi layer coating

Prism systems Prisms have the task of bringing inverted and laterally reversed images of an object back into the right position (which is why they are also called reversing systems). The prisms used in such systems have a decisive influence on the construction and the compactness of a binocular. There are two several types of prism systems, such as roof (left) and porro (right).

Phase correction coating P40 The P40 layer on roof prisms has the task of increasing the sharpness of the image and reducing disturbing reflections and stray light. Without a P40 coating on the prisms, light sources are rendered with radiating star effects. With a P40 coating they are reproduced very naturally. In this regard and in direct comparison, the qualitative differences of different optical brands become obvious very quickly.

Mechanical quality

For the requirements of intensive use in nature, high-performance binoculars and spotting scopes must be able to withstand extreme mechanical demands over long periods of time. To that end, the optical and mechanical components are mounted in the body of a Leica binocular or spotting scope in such a way that they cannot shift. The tolerances for the mechanisms used for moving lens groups are set at a very minimum and they are strictly enforced. An important parameter in the selection of the right materials is their extreme longevity, and they must also safeguard the highest degree of precision. Leica meets these requirements with proven and durable materials such aluminum die-castings and steel. In order to achieve a significant reduction in weight - for instance in the Ultravid models - Leica also employs special high-tech materials such as magnesium and titanium. In the planning of all these aspects, the longevity of the products and the benefits for the customers are always in the forefront.

Focusing In order to focus the binocular or spotting scope on an object, optical groups within them have to be shifted with respect to one another. When focusing is accomplished by moving a lens group inside the instrument, this is referred to as internal focusing. This enclosed construction and the additional nitrogen filling make it possible to design watertight binoculars and spotting scopes that guarantee a uniformly high imaging performance that lasts for the entire life of the instrument, even under the most adverse climatic conditions. The particularly short focusing travel from near to infinity on Leica binoculars (on the Ultra-vid models it amounts to slightly more than a single turn) the observer can always keep the subject in sharp view very quickly.

Leica innovations and patents

The proficiency for innovations at Leica is demonstrated not least by the countless patented problem solutions that are valued by customers and that evolved in close cooperation and coordination with international innovation teams composed of users in a great variety of fields.

Leica HDC™ (High Durable Coating) HDC™ is the proprietary designation of a rub-proof and transmission-enhancing multi-layer coating process developed by Leica that consists of 7 to 10 exceedingly thin layers, depending on the type of glass to which they are applied. HDC™ signifies high light transmission combined with high resistance to scratches and environmental effects, which translates into brilliant images and durability, even in intensive outdoor use.

Leica HighLux-System HLST^TM The HighLux-System HLST^TM combines extensive mechanical steps for the reduction of stray light (such as light traps, matte black lacquer, etc.) and an especially developed mirror layer for prisms into an optimally tailored system. The HighLux-System HLST^TM is used in Duovid and Ultravid binoculars. The highly reflective dielectrical mirror layer consists of 42 extremely thin individual layers that produce a degree of reflection of more than 99.5% . This system makes it possible to increase transmission, contrast and sharpness significantly – the observer gains an extremely bright, natural pictorial impression with neutral color rendition.

Multifunction center drive The combination knob for the Leica center drive feature performs two important functions : diopter compensation and focusing. Because of its size, it is always easy to use as a focusing wheel and it provides ergonomic handling and a steady observation. The large diopter scale allows quick and convenient setting of your personal diopter value.

ADC^TM (Automatic Diopter Compensation) ADC^TM (Automatic Diopter Compensation) is the eminent innovation in Duovid binoculars. ADC^TM maintains the original diopter setting when you change the magnification (from 8× to 12× , or from 10× to 15× as the case may be).

Automatic Diopter Compensation ADC™

quick initial focusing

fine focusing

Televid dual focusing The dual focusing device patented by Leica is incorporated in Leica spotting scopes. Two separate focusing drums enable the observer to perform a quick initial focusing followed by an accurate fine focusing to obtain an image that is always perfectly sharp.

Removable, sliding eyecups with two click stops A newly designed rotating sliding eyecup is used on binocular models Duovid 50 and 42, Ultravid 50, 42 and 32 and Geovid. It can easily be removed for cleaning at any time and it has two click stops with which different eye relief distances (AP positions) can be set individually (with eyeglasses = retracted; without eyeglasses = pulled out). With its gently cushioning rubber element it guarantees long, relaxed observation and for eyeglass wearers it provides secure positioning without damaging the eyeglasses. The remaining Leica binoculars are equipped with sliding eyecups that guarantee an optimal eye relief.

LED displays in rangefinders The actively glowing LED displays in Rangemaster and Geovid models employ a sensor that automatically tailors their intensity to the prevailing ambient light at all times. This feature assures perfect legibility in all light conditions and it especially prevents eye glare during nighttime observation.

Leica rangefinder technology - with a press of the button

Leica rangefinders distinguish themselves primarily by the fact that they can be operated intuitively, by the excellent legibility of their LED displays and by their bright optics. Pressing the measuring button just once switches the instrument on, the target sight appears in the display and the object can now be addressed. Pressing the button a second time displays the measured distance. By keeping the button pressed, the instrument automatically switches to a scan mode, which is indicated by a blinking display. The instrument now provides continually updated measurement values. The scan mode is especially helpful for the perfect measurement of distances to small or rapidly moving targets.

The measurement of distances is based on an eye-safe light pulse that is reflected by the object that is being sighted. A microprocessor uses the time elapsed until the light pulse has returned to compute the distance and then indicates it in the instrument's display.

For the other lines of Leica products too, man and his perception are the main consideration : Accordingly, high-grade Leica cameras and projectors provide a very special visual experience. Numerous cultural activities, photographic competitions and seminars as well as a competent technical customer service round out our program.
