Overview: What Makes a Leica Binocular Special

The decision to buy a Leica binocular is a decision in favor of uncompromising quality. Leica's binoculars provide unsurpassed sharpness, clarity, color rendition and image definition. You literally have to see to believe: how a distant image can be drawn in until it appears close enough to touch, sharp and crystal clear. How easy it is to distinguish the most delicate textures and hues, the smallest details...even in low light, thanks to a brilliance produced by high resolving power and increased definition.

Most binoculars are compromises of durability and resistance to the elements, and of balance, weight, size and performance. There are those who prefer to buy one rather compact high performance binocular, even at greater cost than to buy a less costly bulkier and heavier binocular that might approach the optical performance of the better smaller binocular. The Leica binocular and spotting telescopes are as close to perfection in all the critical areas as modern technology permits. In fact each may be the last binocular or spotting telescope that you ever buy - though in time you may come back to Company Seven to buy several different models for varying applications. Leica is is so certain of the merits and durability of their product that their confidence is tangibly backed by a most incredible "no fault" lifetime warranty!

Leica owners can enjoy the advantages of optical superiority and structural reliability even under the most demanding conditions. The Leica line has evolved since 1907 to now offer the perfect binocular for virtually every use!

Choosing Your Leica Binocular

The common obvious differences between the Leica binocular models are magnification and field of view, physical size and weight, and brightness. There are less obvious design considerations including: Eye Relief (the distance between the observers eye and an eyepiece), Interpupilary Distance (the separation distance between the observers two eyes, binocular feel and balance.

The "A" suffix indicates the binocular has been treated with a non slip armoring of a durable synthetic material; this has now been replaced by an 'N' indicating armored with the improved near-focus range. Full size binoculars with the "L" suffix indicate a leather covering. The compact binoculars that are not armored are finished in black leather, while the BN series armored models are available in Green, Black, or for the Marine 7x 42 BN in Blue.

The "DUOVID" term describes the unprecedented Leica DUOVID 8 + 12 x 42 and Leica DUOVID 8 + 12 x 42 binoculars. The DUOVID is the first high performance binocular available worldwide capable of providing the user a choice of two magnifications (and with practice, a third too). Aside from the obvious benefits of being able to vary the magnifications, the DUOVID may solve the problem for couples or groups who must share one binocular, where one person may not be able to comfortably hand hold a binocular at magnifications higher than 10 x.

For those who prefer higher magnifications but can not hand hold a binocular we offer Tripod Adapter to support the binocular on a camera tripod, car window mount, etc.

On the outside, the new BN binoculars can be differentiated from BA models only by the BN on their name plate, and by Leica product model numbers. While the ULTRAVID are clearly distinguished by their form as well as their respective BR and BL suffixes.

BN, BR, BL, HD SERIES At the famous "Photokina 2000" photographic industry trade show Leica announced the TRINOVID BN binocular series. And then in August 2003 continuing their tradition of innovation, Leica introduced their ULTRAVID series. For 2004 through 2007 Leica gradually upgraded their ULTRAVID binocular series to the ULTRAVID HD (retaining BL for leather covered models).

Increasingly, many nature lovers requested a pair of LEICA TRINOVID binoculars that would focus at shorter distances than the original BA series. And so Leica is catered to that demand with the TRINOVID BN and the most recently introduced ULTRAVID models. With the new TRINOVID BN and ULTRAVID models Leica provides ideal possibilities of getting really close to nature, as the TRINOVID BN binoculars featured two major innovations: a significantly improved close-focus range and Leica's HDC™ optical coating. While the lighter weight ULTRAVID series offer even better light throughput, further improvements in imaging properties, and improved ergonomics.

The Leica BN, BR, and ULTRAVID BL binoculars improved close-focus over the prior BA series of as close as 2.10 m (10x 32 BN), and not more than 3.60 m (8x 50 BN and 8x 50 BR) as close focus limits. The close-focus distance is of particular interest for field ornithology, insect watching, general nature observation and forestry. Leica's HTC™ optical coating employed on the exposed eyepiece and objective lenses is a multiple layer coating that is extremely resistant to abrasion and other environmental influences. This high resistance is achieved by a special process in which the coating materials are applied to the lens elements in a high-vacuum plasma technique.

The TRINOVID BN binoculars inherited the well-proven features of the previous TRINOVID BA models, such as the trend setting Leica Design, the high-quality optics with the successful Leica multiple coating, the Schmidt-Pechan pentaprisms and the true internal focusing, water tightness to a depth of 5 m, the patented multifunctional central drive, the high-point eyepieces with sliding eyecups and the polyurethane armoring. The ULTRAVID improves further in many of these areas.

Fluoride lenses: with the help of recently developed fluoride (FL) glass the Leica HD and APO spotting telescope models offer supreme color fidelity and contrast. Optical FL lenses are to a large part made up of calcium fluoride, a mineral with a crystalline structure. Unlike conventional optical lenses, this creates a very low level of dispersion (light scattering) and corrects aberration (imaging errors) significantly better than previous glasses. So as a result the viewing experience is more natural and three-dimensional, more impressive than it has ever been before

Leica Binocular Center Focus Mechanisms these are engineered to provide ease of use (central focus), quick and smooth performance, and a lifetime of reliable service. The focus mechanism is an "internal" arrangement where optics within the binocular body are moved to accomplish changes of focus. So the exterior does not change, the length of the binocular does not change with focus. This internal central focus mechanism makes it a quick and simple matter to change focus from very close objects out to infinity. And by means of this advanced mechanical arrangement the binocular is sealed well from moisture, dirt and other contaminants.

And focusing the Ultravid HD is even smoother than ever before. The mechanism remains free of play across the entire range. Optimized material pairings and gliding discs made from extremely tough, high-performance plastic are used. In cold conditions, the conventional greased focusing mechanisms sometimes only work with difficulty, and at higher temperatures they move too freely. Furthermore, these focusing mechanisms can feel "sticky", and at higher temperatures there is even the danger that grease can off gas or escape and run on the lens. With the optimized Leica focus, these risks have been eliminated. The new mechanics of the Ultravid HD models work practically without any lubricants. So even in extreme temperatures it is always fully functional and with a constantly optimal degree of smoothness.

Being mechanical systems, they may require only minor cleaning and/or lubrication service after years or decades of service - depending on the amount of use and the operating environment!

Background: How The Eye Works a binocular can be thought of as a light funnel gathering light through its objective (front) lens, with prisms to erect the image, and with an eyepiece funneling light into the eye.

The light exiting the eyepiece next passes through the cornea of the eye, the curved transparent spherical lens tissue in the front part of the eye. The cornea is responsible for focusing the light onto the retina which lines the inside rear wall of the eyeball. The cornea will fine adjust the focus of the eye as the lens changes it's shape to allow clear vision both in the distance and for reading. The Iris is the diaphragm of the eye much like that of a camera lens in purpose. The Iris is the muscular membrane that regulates the intensity of light illuminating the nerve sensors (cones and rods) in the back of the eye. When in low light or dark environments it dilates (opens) to as much as about 8 mm on a healthy adult eye to permit a wider diameter beam of light into the eye. Conversely in response to white light the iris constricts (closes) to as small as about 1.5 mm.

The entrance pupil is the black spot in the center of the iris, this is the opening in the iris through which light passes. Between the cornea and the iris is the anterior chamber filled with vitreous fluid, a clear jelly-like solution. Light passes through the vitreous on it's way to the retina. The retina is lined with light-sensitive sensors (cones and rods) that accumulate the visual signal and then transmit the information through the optic nerve to the brain where the signals are processed. And so by dilating and exposing more sensors to the stimulis, then the Iris causes the eye to compensate with increased area what is lacked in intensity can provide reasonably good views of fainter areas at night.

Diopter Adjustment As people age it is likely their vision will change in focus near or distant or both for example, and one may develop astigmatism too. Changes of the eye tend to result in various degrees of myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness). In a single tube such as a telescope we simply focus to accommodate differences between observers. But with binoculars it is necessary not only to focus to accommodate differences between people, but to also have some mechanism to compensate for differences between the left and right eyes.

Leica binoculars incorporate mechanisms to compensate for differences between the left and right eyes known as a "diopter adjustment". The exact mechanical arrangement varies but the principle of operation remains the same to allow the observer to incorporate a consistent variable into the focusing. In the mid to larger Leica binoculars one simply:

1. dial the focus knob to achieve approximate focus

2. gently pull the focus knob up (away from the binocular bridge)

3. now turn the protruding dial clockwise or counterclockwise to achieve best focus for the right eye

4. without turning the extended dial, turn the inner dial (adjacent the binocular bridge) clockwise or counterclockwise to achieve best focus for the right eye

5. without turning either dial, gently push the extended knob back into place to reseal the focus mechanism.

It is also possible that over time, some of the detrimental aspects may change in a way that improves vision too.

ULTRAVID HD series introduced in 2007, offers additional internal improvements. The exteriors were unchanged and the basic specifications (magnification, field of view, etc.) similarly remained the same so these appear at first glance identical to the original ULTRAVID models. The improvements provided with the HD address the focusing mechanism. And the optical design of the HD were refined with newly available Fluoride glass technology, and then were treated with advanced contrast and resistance coatings to repel water and dirt with the new AquaDura^TM process.

Leica AquaDura^TM ensures greater visibility in wind and rain

It is a cold morning and the lens fogs up - that is not much fun. Fingerprints, dust and rain are also annoying when viewing. The innovative Leica AquaDura^TM coating considerably reduces these disturbing factors. Imitating nature as with the lotus plant, this new water and dirt-resistant protective layer on the outer glass surfaces ensures that dirt and moisture are barely able to take hold on the specially adapted surface structure of the optic. This is the same coating applied by Leica for their latest APO-TELEVID spotting telescopes introduced in 2007 and coming available in 2009.

On the previous generations of anti-reflection coating the water tended to bead on the optical surface, this is particularly distracting on the eyepiece lenses being closer to focus. But with Leica AquaDura^TM the water droplets do not adhere, and the surface is also resistant to the formation of fog that would otherwise reduce contrast if not completely obscure the object of the observation.

reduced cleaning efforts required leaves you more time for viewing!

n.b.: The coating has already been used for other binoculars, but is being advertised for the first time with the launch of the BN binoculars. The BC binoculars also feature HDC™ optical coating.

And in an interesting courtesy for our customers worldwide Leica binoculars are supplied with a new instruction manual translated into six languages: German, English, French, Dutch, Italian and Spanish.

Brief Description of Each Leica Binocular

Each factor outlined above about choosing a binocular may be as important a consideration as the other in assuring the long term satisfaction of our customer. However, in an effort to aid you with your search for the binocular of your dreams we have prepared the following brief:

• Compact Series 8x 20 BC and BCA Binoculars: For daylight use, or at well lit evening events. Great for a better view at the theater, a concert, or sporting event. When weight and bulk are critical this is a great choice very well suited for the infirm, or for backpackers, or on a casual walk or travel. A good gift of a premium product (yet at a modest cost) able to last a lifetime.

• Compact Series 8x 20 BL, BR and ULTRAVID HD Binoculars: Improved over the 8x 20 BC and BCA series in terms of reduced distortion, higher light throughput, and eye relief. Also engineered to be more robust and water proof than the BC/BCA series. The cost difference between the ULTRAVID and the BC/BCA series will pale to insignificance over the lifetime of service these may provide.
  
  These compact Leica models are incredibly useful and most handy. They are among those few personal items that are made to last a lifetime. They therefore make an excellent gift which will be appreciated and remembered for years to come - a real no brainer for the gift giver looking for something uncommon, memorable and practical.

• Compact Series 8x 20 BC "Edition" Brass Binocular: For daylight or at well lit evening events. When bulk and convenience are critical but where one wishes a beautiful and exclusive product for dress events, for collectors, or as a special gift. This is a good choice for use at the theater, a concert, or sporting event. It is useful for backpackers, hikers, on a walk or travel but its 16 ounce heft may make one think twice about carrying it too far. A stunningly superb gift of a premium product made to last a lifetime. limited edition sold out - for interesting reading only

• Compact Series 10x 25 BC and BCA Binoculars: For daylight use or at well lit evening or indoor events. When weight and bulk are critical for backpackers, hikers, on a walk, or for travel and where one needs more magnification to bring out details in objects further away or for smaller objects or animals in closer. Better than the 8x 20 for closer, more detailed views of wildlife or landmarks from a distance, or at a concert, or sporting event. At 10 x most people in reasonable health can hand hold these, but they are so light weight that one must give it some concentration. For those who seek a more versatile lower magnification, we suggest the 8 x 20 ULTRAVID also in the choice of BR and BL arrangements.

• Compact Series 10x 25 ULTRAVID BR Binoculars: Improved over the 10x 25 BC and BCA series (above) in terms of reduced distortion, higher light throughput, and longer eye relief. Also engineered to be more robust and water proof than the BC series. The cost difference between the ULTRAVID and the BC series will pale to insignificance over the lifetime of service thee may provide.

• DUOVID 10 + 15 x 50 Binocular: For those who seek a 1.42X increase in the light gathering power and even greater magnification, this is the logical evolution of the popular and innovative DUOVID 42mm binocular mentioned above.
  

• GEOVID 8x 42 BRF and 10x 42 BRF Range Finding Binoculars: In 1991 Leica introduced the GEOVID 7x 42, the world's first highly accurate precision laser distance and bearing measuring binocular. Earning numerous "Best of What's New" awards such as in Popular Science magazine, the current generation of the GEOVID BRF are far more compact and lighter weight multifunctional instruments that open a totally new dimension of seeing and a new quality of orientation in space. The laser rangefinder built into each of the latest HD GEOVID BRF models is capable of accurately measuring distances of up to 1,400 yards (1,280 metres) and in doing so, takes the guess work out of range assessment. At night or day, for air sea rescue, navigation, forensics and surveillance, forestry, a hunting aid, expeditions, remote inspection, surveying, and more.
  

• GEOVID 8x 56 BRF and 15x 56 BRF Range Finding Binoculars: The same high precision range finding performance as the GEOVID 42 BRF models but with higher resolution and almost 1.8 times greater light gathering power. The 56mm models are the better choice for applications at dawn or dusk, or under forest canopy, or when looking into other covered areas.
  

• GEOVID LUX 8x 56 BRF Range Finding /Data-Voice Transmitting Binoculars: a hand-held or tripod mounted system that combines precision optics with a 6.8 degree actual field of view with an integral electronic communications module. This sends and receives via a sophisticated system of prisms to enable a totally new form of audiovisual communication. Besides viewing distant objects the user of these binoculars can also talk to other binocular users via a headset.

  Using infrared light waves in a custom band from 300nm to 2000nm, the LightSpeed technology transmits voices (at 16, 32, or 64 Kbps) to another GEOVID LUX up to a distance of 1-½ miles (2-½ km) away - crystal-clear, without any interference, day and night. For voice it employs any tactical/COTS headset. Even data such as video, text or images can be fed in via the USB port and transmitted at a rate of up to 1 Mbps. This development has evolved from a cooperation arrangement with the well-known secure electronics development company in the USA. This form of bug-proof communication offers special police and military units a wealth of tactical advantages. The extremely compact yet powerful LEICA GEOVID LUX 8x 56 also has further application potential in stalking, industry and rescue services. US federal government agencies should contact Company Seven to obtain our DLA or ORCA information.
