Compact in its Class

These are a new generation of binoculars with an improved optical performance. These HD-Plus Binoculars are small in size and extremely lightweight which make them a discreet yet essential and constant companion. Designed to be robust the Leica HD Plus binoculars are manufactured from die-cast magnesium, which makes them lightweight, but tough and perfectly balanced. The 10x42 HD-Plus Ultravids have a precise focusing system, which is quick and easy, with only 1.25 turns of the dial, to get pin sharp accuracy and these applies to the closest focus as well as the furthest. The HD-Lens system gives perfect contrast and clarity and the high transmission glass and coatings produce the highest brightness and efficient stray-light suppression, ensuring that as much light as possible hits the eye.   

The prisms of these new binoculars are made from specially formulated SCHOTT glasses with exceptional transmission characteristics (SCHOTT HT glasses). Also, the increased light transmission, particularly in the blue-violet band, ensures a higher image brightness and a better colour transmission. There are nine lens elements each side of the binoculars, all of which have the HDC and Aqua Dura coating and the P40 phase correcting coating along with Leica's legendary High-Lux System will also help with stray light which can cause chromatic aberrations and spoil the enjoyment of viewing. The external optics of the Safari 10x42 binoculars are protected thanks to Leica's AquaDura coating, which repels any dirt, dust and water whilst being used and the watertight nature of them, ensures that there is no fogging, even when using them in a downpour. With all this technology, its not surprising that these are some of the best binoculars you can buy.
