Product description

More about the series Ultravid...

Leica's latest binoculars: the Ultravid HD Plus!

This evolution of the classic has plenty to offer. Thanks to a complete reworking of the optics, Leica has managed to increase transmission by as much as 5%. How was this achieved?

  • A new glass that lets more light pass through: SCHOTT HT glass for observing in twilight
  • High performance: improved light transmission, especially in the blue and violet spectrum - brighter image, better colour reproduction and a broad contrast spectrum.
  • New optical coating: plasma coating for improved light transmission
  • Robust: magnesium and titanium, coated in a rubber armouring.
  • Wind and weather resistant: waterproof and nitrogen-purged, these binoculars can withstand the hardest rain and high humidity. Thanks to the AquaDura coating, dirt is easily removed and water droplets roll off.
  • Compact and lightweight: with one of the most compact binoculars in its class!
  • Design: the Ultravid HD Plus is instantly recognisable thanks to its classic styling and its red logo.

Leica Ultravid 42 HD-Plus binoculars

Models from the 42 HD-Plus series are almost as handy as the 32 series and are designed for comfortable and ergonomic handling. The binoculars have slip-proof grips. They are almost as 'fast' as the larger 50-series models, and the new coating technology and special HT glass from Schott guarantee higher light transmission. The image is brighter and the level of contrast is greater. Despite their compactness, these binoculars have more than ample 'light reserves' for poor viewing conditions.

Leica Ultravid 42 HD-Plus binoculars are available with magnifications of 7X, 8X and 10X.

( 5 / 5 )

Since my beginning with birds 12 years ago, this is the third binoculars I have used, First I used a Japanese one (I do not remember the manufacturer) it was to be used by family members (heavy, classical, bad viewing, poor purity of glass ) then I upgraded to Zeiss 10x42 victory Fl (great difference , simply wonderful )which is still with me so far, so perhaps you might ask me why I bought leica 8X42 HD plus later?
I was usually birding at open areas like deserts, fileds and lakes with 10x42 great work but after that I saw that 10x42 is not good in closed areas especially when I bird in forests , trees , gardens and bushes ! I noticed this during my trip to Malaysia !of course you need more light , the second one mostly needed for wider view of fields to search well , after comparisons I decided to buy (Leica 8x42 Hd plus ) after a quick birding I could tell that I am not repent to pay one euro for it ! Everything was excellent ,lightweight, stunning view clarity , high design !! I am very happy with it.
