The Leica Ultravid 8×32 HD-Plus Binoculars (40090) is the smallest and lightest of the premium 8x32s, these HD-Plus 8×32 are beautiful binoculars. Your first look through them is definitely an experience.
Excellent close-up performance, great for Birding or butterfly watching.?? They are amazingly sharp, great color, contrast, and flare suppression, They are a joy for everyday use.
Built with the same materials and to the same precise specifications as the larger models, Leica’sΒ 8×32 Ultravid HD-Plus Binocular delivers bright and clear high-contrast images across the entire field of view with true color rendition and virtually zero distortion.
The smaller objectives reduce the overall size and weight for better portability and less muscle strain during the long-duration viewing session, while still delivering competent low-light performance. The combination of the relative low 8x magnification and wide 62Β° apparent angle of view produces an immersive viewing experience that lends itself to long observation sessions.
Leica employs specially formulated SCHOTT HT glass which increases light transmission especially in the blue-violet light band, improves color fidelity, and enhances low-light performance. Scratch and abrasion-resistant High Durable Coating (HDC), and hydrophobic AquaDura coating on outer lens protect surfaces and causes water and oil to bead off for easier cleaning and clearer vision. The roof prisms feature the P40 phase-correction and the proprietary High Lux System (HLS) coatings. These coatings virtually eliminate chromatic aberration for enhanced color rendition and increased contrast.
Complementing the optical performance is uncompromising construction details. To reduce user fatigue during long glassing sessions, the chassis is made of a lightweight yet durable magnesium alloy, with a high-tensile titanium center hinge axle. The optical tubes are nitrogen-filled for fogproof performance and sealed to make the binocular submersible to 4 m. Ergonomic thumb indents on the bottom of the binocular coupled with protective rubber armoring provide a comfortable slip-resistant grip. A lubrication-free focus system provides fast and precise focusing, with PETP-Discs to provide smooth movement throughout the broad operating temperature range.
