Overview
Not a compact pocket binocular, this Leupold is a full-size high-power roof prism glass for hunting and long-range viewing. An open-bridge, dual-hinge frame and water-shedding lens coating suit wet field days.
High magnification with large objectives lets you resolve detail at distance, and the coatings keep lenses clear in rain. The narrower field and image shake at this power make it less suited to fast-moving subjects.
Who it's for
Western hunters, guides and wildlife watchers scanning far hillsides get a bright, detailed view with weatherproofing. Birders in woods want lower power and a wider field.
Pros and cons
- High magnification for distance
- Large objective lenses
- Waterproof and fogproof
- Water-shedding lens coating
- Image shake at high power
- Narrower field of view
- Warranty terms not listed
Performance notes
Image brightness depends on objective size and exit pupil, so dawn and dusk viewing stays usable. At this power hand tremor shows up in the image, which is why bracing or a tripod sharpens what you see.
